Any thoughts about the Xeno? I haven't read too much about it.

We held a Brunswick/DV8/Radical demo day in October and the Xeno was very impressive. A lot of bowlers seemed to match up really well with it. It's not the "bells and whistles " type of ball. This ball is very underrated!

Tell us about the ball...it would be nice to know. How can a ball be underrated when its not out yet...not trying to slam you just curious why its underrated.. thanks tom

Lol....ball was released in August. When he said underated he meant a great ball that not a lot of people know or talk about, because Radical isn't the ball in everyones bag. If you liked the Reax V2 you will like this one since it's basically the same ball with a new cover.

Well as you have now read, this ball WAS released this summer. And no, it's not because Radical isn't so widespread that I used the term underrated. I think the Guru line has been fairly popular as well as the Ridiculous line. I, personally, think the Xeno fell thru the cracks with most people because it's the Reax Version 2 core with new tires. I passed it up too. Once I saw the bowlers throwing it, I was shocked at how good it looked. Like I said previously, it's not the bells and whistles type ball. It's more of a benchmark type reaction. That's just my opinion.

Very good ball. Could be used as an asymmetric benchmark for sure. I put a double thumb layout on mine. One of my earliest rolling balls and handles a decent amount of oil. Allows me to play the oil line when there is tug.
Just looked at the Radical site and noticed a Xeno pearl on there. Going to be tempted.

Xeno has same core & numbers as the Reax V2 solid, but with a different surface. How much better is the Xeno cover vs the V2 cover. I really liked the Reax V2 solid, so am I missing something in not looking further into considering the Xeno?
I have been throwing almost 100% Motiv, but I want to keep my options open.

My apologies...I left out pearl. I was referring to xeno pearl because I thought that what you were talking about.

Hahaha! That's ball's really underrated as well ;-).
