Radical Katana Strike Bowling Ball Review

[@Samuelnahm]

Congratulations MIKEY......

[@masterchief247]

A center mgr near me said they push the lights off bowling because they can charge more for it as a "special" offering to bowlers while saving money on electricity.

[@hihbowling]

The first lawsuit will change their mind. Those black lights hurt my eyes. I'll have to see what ADA has to say about it...🤣🤣🤣

[@brandonhuggins1736]

A buddy of mine is Brunswick staff. We threw the radical since we’re both southpaw. That thing doesn’t peel off the backend at all out of the box. Perhaps some surface on it will make the difference.

[@hihbowling]

Yea it would've helped a bit.

[@brianlevandowski3167]

When I tried a few radicals that’s what they do for me too, rev and rev and just bail down lane. Switch to a storm and money all day. I would have not believed it until I seen it with my own eyes off my own hand. Granted the oil pattern was Beaten path.

[@hihbowling]

Had success with a few Radical balls. Watching other reviews now and it does the same thing, they just disguised it a little better....lol

[@zekechilesbowling6699]

Storm glaze

[@brianlevandowski3167]

@@zekechilesbowling6699 I like hammer, Motiv, Storm, roto, 900 before & after the equation. Radical is a dude. It’s weird too because the technology seems legit.

[@njc96]

First game out of box 279 and I've thrown 6 games so far averaging 240. The ball is rolling great for me. Don't understand why so many people are complaining. Like the successful Katana Slash, the hybrid coverstock wrapped around the Katana core makes the hook phase longer, providing a smoother reaction in comparison to the solid & pearl variations.

[@jmtrudeau]

Thank you for calling out Bowlero. Keep up gods work

[@Brian_B300]

Funny, threw this at a demo last week and thought of you immediately. Fresh heavy oil on really nice lanes and it looked like 💩 My rev rate is half of yours but every ball I threw that day looked waaaaaaaay better. C300 Atlas and Track Paragon Pearl were the 2 biggest surprises of the day. Both looked amazing

[@hihbowling]

Yea I got inboxes. Many weren't a fan of it at Expo.

[@Mikey-1990]

AYYYEEEE lets go! Hyped to get that jersey and yeah that ball was definitely better once you moved back right.

[@hihbowling]

Congrats bro! Who wants to play right? 🤣🤣

[@Mikey-1990]

@@hihbowling NONE OF US 🤣

[@zVask]

For hk22 I’d recommend the track paragon pearl for an all around great ball, and the ebonite emerge for something that looks amazing with more friction

[@hihbowling]

Havent matched up with track in ages.

Cool video talk tech bowling bowling ball radical katana strike bowling ball with dynamic core technology in the bowling ball more strike and spare hitting power at time Jason eubanks

[@greggtrawinski8274]

What’s the song towards the end of the video?

[@hihbowling]

All original production by me.

[@masondean8225]

When are you gonna review the Supra rally ?

[@hihbowling]

I gave it away on a live stream, never drilled it.

[@jeffstahl6474]

I liked that beat way better than the ball reaction 😅

[@hihbowling]

🤣🤣🤣

[@normanetodd1993]

Keep it up bro

[@hihbowling]

💪🏿💪🏿

[@No_Lucks_Given]

I have seen a few alleys now that have cosmic bowling all day. Which gives them the excuse to oil less often

[@hihbowling]

Yea, there are a few houses that I just know to stay away from.

[@nickwilsonbowling]

For me, big asyms are trash on house patterns. But, when you find the right pattern to throw them on, they're money. For example, I have a Defender Solid. Ball is TRASH on house, but every pattern I have thrown it on it looks great. I stick to middle of the road, and low end balls for house patterns, personally.

[@hihbowling]

Same. This channel would be pearl symmetricals if I only did my go to stuff. I'm just being the test dummy...lol

[@denmanfite3156]

1:30 oh man I'm surprised Bowlero actually has lanes in dark and not. But in my local area they don't even do "cosmic" it's literally LIGHTS OUT bowling. Lanes are dead dark. Bullshit.

[@kevincowden5991]

You need that ebonite emerge or DV8 Brutal Collision. Balls are an amazing 1-2 punch. I’ve had a lot of success with them

[@martyweipert5521]

Try the Stealth Pearl. That thing is super impressive

[@hihbowling]

I'll look into it.

[@rondockery8056]

We have the same issues when league bowlers go to practice. We can get there as soon as the lanes open and the lights are off. Smh

[@hihbowling]

Like it's empty. Can you cater to the patrons that are actually here....smh.

[@rondockery8056]

Exactly. They have no love for the league bowlers and we're actually keeping the house running. Only if the manager/owner knew how to bowl and ran it for the bowlers. It's all about the money and not the bowlers. I can go on but I won't. I'm sure you fully understand my pain.

[@muruhs]

Shouldve got the assault instead, it would work more with your rev rate.

[@hihbowling]

Not doubting it. Just playing test dummy...lol

[@jedikevin20]

fam, looks like those approaches are clean and you got some oil on the lanes. I wouldn't even care if folks are bunched up at my house if I could get that at a dead time of day like that. Ball just seems meh to me. Looks like you could get more out of a benchmark ball like IQ's or motive shock then messing with that thing.

[@hihbowling]

These approaches are the worst out here. Last season I bowled I was ice skating in my street shoes. Ball is middle of the road. Nothing special. First HK22 miss for me.

[@TheVicsinner]

Gilbert? Heard the manager there told the league they couldn't have a meeting.

[@hihbowling]

Mesa. No league meeting??? Why would they be against that?

[@TheVicsinner]

@hihbowling I think it was something to do with spaceplus they said they were too busy with glo bowl. It was on the AZ bowler forum on the FB

[@ericw6043]

Bowlero has turned the sport of bowling to crap!!! They focus too much on people who have no idea about the sport, or how to keep food and drinks away from the bowling area. Bowlero is rapidly killing the game

[@hihbowling]

Facts!!!!

[@scottweiderman9286]

i would argue that an attempt to bring in new blood isn't a bad thing, and the closed door policy many bowlers have is killing the game far more than bowlero.

[@darrenchambers3042]

Rhino Pro!!!! Do It!

[@hihbowling]

Probably on the list.

[@Terrafire34]

Honestly I didn’t like the motion of that ball for you. I just got 2 free radical bowling balls 2 weeks ago, guy in league had a bad night and tossed em lol. My first time throwing radical stuff and it’s eh the outer limits is very controllable and the innovator solid is nice but it gets too aggressive and I gotta get out of it quick if it starts to over hook or things just go down hill fast

[@hihbowling]

There are better options out there for sure.

[@spencerrobinson438]

I would of hit it with a pad to to open the cover up

[@hihbowling]

Could've used it, but you know I'm OOB only...lol

[@memorosales7135]

so true bro about that dark lane stuff makes no sense

[@baruti3405]

Nice beat

[@pablolacruz2652]

Definitely looks like a down and in ball which is unusual for a asymmetric piece.

[@hihbowling]

Yea, who wants to play right? 🤣🤣

[@BBDragon66]

Looked OK, but like you said, nothing special. If you are collecting the Katana line, there you go. Strong sock game going on here 🧦🧦🔥

[@hihbowling]

Reviews are becoming more about the socks than the ball. They need to get it together...lol

[@darrylfant7938]

Real bowlers don't like bowling with the lights off. That's crap Boleros need to put some oil on the front of the lanes as well I can't stand Loofing my ball over the front of the lanes however nice video.

[@thewordnow]

Big Daddy REVS!

[@2handlife200]

Pretty surprising the ball looked so much lazier down lane than the innovator. Can’t wait for the rhino review.

[@hihbowling]

Had to be right for sure.

[@Fejix87]

Threw this at a demo the other day and it was the most boring slow rolling ball out of the 11 test balls they had. I don't know what's going on with Radical but everything they make now is just early rolling and vomits downlane. Even the katana assault was a rolly pearl. I don't even consider buying their stuff lately. I ordered the Dark Web hybrid and Cuda pearl from the demo as I was very impressed with them and they filled in some missing pieces I had in my arsenal.

[@remington1439]

That’s why I hate BOWLERO, all my 3 leagues I bowled in and the manager said we make more $ with these lights out, than you league bowlers practice. Glad I moved(wife’s job) saved my A**, at a better 42 house and serious bowlers.

[@tongue_twista7557]

Not a good look for you. Seems like you had to be extremely accurate with it. It was all over the place.

[@hihbowling]

For sure needed a defined area.

[@fopm008]

more like Blowaro

[@hihbowling]

🤣🤣🤣

[@martyweipert5521]

That shape was a big turd. Seemed super lazy on the backend.

[@hihbowling]

Just a tad. Had to play tighter angles.

[@TheBlueBunnyKen]

Bowlero needs to go out of business, terrible, just terrible

[@hihbowling]

Facts but they have every center that isn't independent. They need to be bought out.

[@Samuel-xs2yv]

The black venom is so garbage 😂 but the katana looks pretty good!

[@hihbowling]

🤣🤣🤣
