Ball Review for Radical Katana
Layout 80x 3-3/4x25 p3

Bowler stats
6 5/16....+9/16 Pap
16mph speed
350 rev rate
55 degrees axis rotation
3 degrees tilt

The Katana is an Asymmetric Pearl surfaced at 500, 1000 and compound. However don't let the shelf appeal fool you. This ball is ALL ABOUT PERFORMANCE. And it's soooo pretty.

Once again, Mo Pinel gave me this layout to combat the violent backend that plagues bowlers that are rev dominant with low tilt. And the layout works, somewhat, but this ball flat out HOOKS! If there is friction down lane, all you have to do is get it there and the core takes over.

Don't let the shineyness fool you. This ball can handle oil, with the correct layout/surface prep, but have two purposes for this ball.

Benchmark (strong) and when the right sidebis fried and I want to play 5th arrow or beyond. It has plenty of recovery without losing carry...and from that deep will STILL leave the occasional 9 or 10 pin. 😲 When my Intel drilled the exact same way starts leaving flat 10's, I can go to this ball with confidence and know that it will get the 10 out.

I've seen some guys circle the entire lane with this ball, and with the correct layout and surface prep, it is very feasable. But for regular useage you may want a more tame layout and retain the box surface. Make no mistake, it will still hook A LOT, but you will be able to manage the backend reaction. I am big on changing hand positions and this ball does not dissappoint.

My layout allows the ball to be long and strong and the hit is phenomenal. EVERYTIME I throw it, I am asked about it, because of the performance, and it is sooooo pretty. Lol

For those of you that are familiar with Radical equipment, it reminds me of a rollier V2 Pearl or a "not AS ridiculous", Ridiculous Pearl. (That ball still scares me)

Everyone needs this ball in their life!

I am Jai Jones and I approve this message.
