Summer 2021 New Bowling Ball Releases for Radical Bowling Technologies
Chris Beans breaks down the Informer and the Intel Pearl SE, two new bowling balls announced from Radical bowling! Full specs and commentary!
Radical Informer bowling ball
The Informer features a modified version of the Incognito core and the S.H.A.R.P cover stock, but we have added the traction-enhancing TS1 additive to make it more responsive. The Informer is a strong down-lane addition to the Radical line. It features a modified version of the very popular Incognito core. The modification produces a 2.477 RG, 0.051 Differential, and 0.019 Intermediate Differential. These core changes and the Textured Solid (TS1) additive make the Informer a stronger down-lane solid cover performer. As with all our top Shelf balls, we feature the hard-hitting DynamiCore.
