My PSO loves what he sees in the Conspiracy. Thinks it is one of the best balls in the Radical line.
I could only find a few reviews on YouTube that frankly weren't very informative. Not many comments/reviews from non-staffers on this forum to date.
I'm curious to hear from non-staffers who own or have thrown this ball. What do you guys think of it & why?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Not a staffer, been throwing Storm for years. The Conspiracy for me is a great ball. I throw about 16.5-17.5 mph and have 400 plus revs. As long as you have decent oil this ball is great. I like playing it more up the boards to a small swing shot. I had to throw it about 5 games to break it in, but game 6 i was playing 15 to 12 and shot 300. Great push through the heads and great continuation.

Looks like a strong benchmark. And a different style core than they are use to using with the katanas.
If you need to differentiate from the katanas and need a solid why not try it.
PS it looks like their first balls core, kinda, look up the slant, numbers are different, but it does look like a nod to that ball.
-
Thanks for the info.
I do need a strong asymmetrical solid for the fresh on med/heavy oil. My PSO thinks this ball fits my style and personal specs. I think I will give it a try. I was just concerned as it was hard to find a lot of non-staffer comments for the ball since it's release in Oct. 2018.

Not sure if you do Facebook but there is a radical group on Facebook... Everyone seems to love the ball and mo is always around to answer questions

My friend John Wilbur from Vermont recently shot 900 with the conspiracy. Ball looks awesome.

Conspiracy has gotten a lot of love from a lot of different styles.
Best comparison I can think of would be the Katana Slash but the Conspiracy is a little more ball. To compare with another brand, I think it's a stronger Black Ops ala the Break S75.

Lol grain of salt though..
Most of them are overly, well, radical about Radical. Most of them think every ball released by radical is the best ball ever
-
One of my teammates have one, I think it rolls pretty well.

That FB group is hyped like 900 is here..lol

You know, it's funny you say that. The core looks exactly like the Break core and the numbers are exactly the same, except the Break core is .058, not .056

Now look at the slant core...

Numbers are different and shape is different. Break core doesn't have that big flip block either.

Maybe you guys could figure out who designed the cores you are comparing the Conspiracy to. LOL

This may sound stupid but does anyone on here know who newguy is??? Unless someone took over this person's BR ID, he's been on here for many years and one of the best in the bowling industry!
-
Never met him personally but did meet his cohort a long time ago at a short workshop about a newly released ball. This was with AMF before the 900G days.
-
I'm fully aware of who he is.

I'm fully aware of who he is.
I know you do Doom. From the beginning. Lol
-
Who do you think you are? I am! :D

one guy knows him from Track. Another from Global. Now, that's Radical...

Just curious, but how does one define "...one of the best in the bowling industry! "?
-
New Guy has been involved in many bowling companys.Think maybe you could say that quote.
-
Everyone has their own opinion of course but anybody still designing bowling balls in 2019 is doing something right. The chaff has long ago disappeared.
-
"The voice of one crying in the wilderness..."
No, he's the voice on all of the Radical ball videos.
LOL! :)
-
I still see nothing that would define "...the best..."
Been in the industry a long time...longevity doesn't mean best.
I'm not saying he isn't, just what is the measuring stick. From the couple of answers given here, I'm guessing that "...the best..." would be a pretty large percentage of all people involved in the Bowling Industry.
-

I think the word that is up for debate in that statement is "best"
No one is doubting the longevity of his time in the industry and number of companies he's been with. But what about that time has stamped him in that "best" category. Don't take it as derogatory but informative.

I guess I should look at that red bar when it says someone else has replied haha.

Conspiracy Pearl is impressive.
-
Guess if he had worked for Storm then you could say best.Really don't understand why Phil catches so much crap on here about Radical.If you don't like them post in the brands you do.Site really is getting Boring with the SOS.I rarely post anymore.Afraid of getting bashed .I actually Hate Storm But i'm not always saying negative crap about them. Maybe I should start so I can fit in on this site.
-
Radical is making some impressive stuff right now. Conspiracy, conspiracy pearl, and squatch are all backend monsters. Hats off to mo, and Phil.
-
This is an interesting thread. Seemed to deviate completely away from the ?? of the original poster!
Don't know jack about the Conspiracy other than a lot of people love it!
One of my best friends bought one, and first night out, in league play, he shot 267-300-279 with it!! Of course he loves it!
Personally, I've been hit or miss with Radical stuff. Some things I like....some I hate!

Where are the negative comments? I just ask a question, nothing negative about it.
