Radical Evil Eye Bowling Ball

Radical evil eye I’m a left handed bowler. My ball speed is around 14.5 mph. My Rev Rate is around 275 rpms. I recently punched up this ball. My layout choice is 20 x 5 x 30. One of Radical’s new layout suggestions. I must say I was really impressed with how much this ball hooks and very continuous through the pins. With this layout I was able to move my feet deeper inside and swing the lane. This ball was able to give me a different line to play. Great job Radical Bowling Technologies. Robert Way

So, I decided to drill a Radical Evil Eye as a bit of an experiment and because I love black colored bowling balls. The Evil Eye features the "Evil Eye" symmetric core. However, depending on the layout used and the starting shape of the core, the core's original shape can be altered to create a significant variation of differential and in the end, create a variety of ball motions. The Evil Eye has an HK-22C solid black cover finished at 1500 Siaair. As I've explained recently, I've been working with trying to create slower response/smoother ball motions. I saw the drill sheet and I saw the "Maximum Control" layout which is 90 x 2 1/4 x 45 and that's what I decided to try. It's been a very long time since I tried a "short pin" layout and given the core/cover combination, I figured this might be a good piece with which to experiment. I was hoping for a motion a small step up from urethane. I threw it at box surface on somewhat fresh THS. After throwing the Evil Eye with this layout, I definitely drilled a very slow response piece of equipment which is extremely smooth and round in its shape. Mission accomplished! It's clear to see how early the ball begins to read and how smooth and forward it is off the spot. I like that notwithstanding that type of motion, the Evil Eye still has enough to kick out the 10 pin. (I saw this exact hit multiple times during this practice session.) Looking at the drill sheet, it is clear that there are other layouts that will yield a quicker response downlane. Thus, there is versatility in terms of types of ball motions that the Evil Eye can achieve. With this layout, the Evil Eye will definitely be a ball best used on fresh patterns, I'm guessing with medium to shorter distances. It may work well to blend out cliffed house patterns to start. The Radical Evil Eye is readily available. See your local pro shop for more information.

The Radical Evil Eye says to have a symmetrical core, but it has that big protrusion sticking out one side of it. Hmmm. I am not a physicist, so I'll let the smart core builders at Radical classify this ball any way they want. All I can tell you is that the ball rolls very well for me. It has an aggressive solid cover that includes HK22C. I have found in the past that big aggressive pieces like this tend to lose energy when I get in deep. They burn up early and don't have that kick to get up the hill and carry, usually leaving a flat ten pin. The Evil Eye so far has not been that way. It has gotten around the corner with good energy and continues to carry for me. Nice piece.
