What is the better core in your opinion?
« on: March 21, 2009, 04:14:46 AM »
I see the Overseas market is still using the RAD+ core in alot of their high performance line.

Which corew do you think is better the RAD+ or the Shape Loc HD. Alot of their favorite balls ever had the RAD or RAD+ in it.

Wasn't it the RAD cores that had the problems with separating?

RAD core by far for me! I would have to say that next to the Nucleus core in the Cells, the RAD core was one of the best ever!I,personally,could just never quite get a good reaction with the Shape Loc HD core.I carried my highest average and series with the original X-Factor.

The RAD cores are a bit too strong for me.

I partial to Track's Morpheous core.

Personally, I've loved every Shift ball I've thrown (every ball in the line), so I would go with the Shape Lock or Shape Lock HD.  It just seems to roll very strong and consistent.

I am curious. How did you isolate the cores, either of them, from the surrounding coverstocks? Please explain.

RAD + was awesome, loved both of my X-Factors (original and Ace), the Particle pearl cover on the Ace definately had something to do with it also.

I like the RAD+ and the EMC better than the Shape-Lock or Shape-Lock HD

I would give the shape lock a very slight edge over the RAD core, and I do mean slight. I enjoyed them both.

RAD+ for me.  EMC core from the Agent line is my favorite from Storm though!

RAD and RAD+ cores are a little more complicated than the shape Loc to construct. It takes more time for each piece that has to go on to it. towards the end of the RAD core shape in the line, they were using triple disc. so you might have had 4 or 5 pieces in the core vs 1 piece in the shape loc.
