A Clean, Controllable Symmetric Pearl for Medium Oil
About the Intel Recon
The Radical Intel Recon is a clean, controllable symmetric pearl for medium oil and drier conditions. It pairs the symmetric Modified Intel Core with the HK22 Pearl coverstock, delivering easy length and a smooth, predictable backend. Its low differential keeps the motion controllable, making it a great fit for length and control when the lane opens up.
The Intel Recon is built for length and a forgiving read. The low-RG Modified Intel core has a low differential, so it produces minimal flare and an even, on-line motion, while the polished HK22 pearl cover gets the ball down the lane cleanly. The result is a smooth, controllable pearl that shines on medium oil, drier conditions, and the back half of a block.
Understanding the Radical Modified Intel Symmetric Core and Radical HK22 Pearl Reactive
Radical built the Intel Recon for clean length and a controllable read on medium oil and drier conditions. Specifically, the symmetric Modified Intel Core posts a 2.483 RG and a low .032 differential, numbers that produce minimal flare and a smooth, on-line motion, while the HK22 Pearl cover at a polished finish reads cleanly with a controllable backend. As a result, it gives you easy length with a smooth, predictable hook. The per-weight specifications are listed below.
A Low-Differential Symmetric Core for a Smooth, Controllable Roll
At the heart of the Intel Recon is the symmetric Modified Intel Core. At 15 lb it measures a 2.483 RG and a low .032 differential, numbers that produce minimal track flare and a smooth, controllable motion. The low differential keeps the reaction even and predictable, exactly what makes the Intel Recon such an easy ball to read on drier conditions.
Radical wraps the Modified Intel core in DynamiCore for added durability and a stronger hitting ball. That low-flare, on-line behavior is the Intel Recon’s strength: it reads the lane the same way shot after shot, holding a smooth, controllable line.
A Polished HK22 Pearl for Clean Length and a Smooth Backend
The Intel Recon wraps that core in Radical’s HK22 Pearl Reactive coverstock, finished at 500, 1000, 1500 Siaair with factory compound. The pearl additive and polished surface let the ball conserve energy through the front of the lane, so it gets down cleanly and then makes a smooth, controllable move off the friction.
That clean read and easy backend make the Intel Recon a great fit for medium oil, drier conditions, and the back half of a block. Leave it polished for length and versatility, or take the surface down at your pro shop for an earlier, smoother read when the oil increases.

BowlersMart Tips: Where the Intel Recon Fits in Your Radical Arsenal
Where It Fits in Your Arsenal
In the Radical lineup, the Intel Recon is the clean, controllable length pearl for medium oil and drier conditions. It reads later and smoother than the strong Torpedo, Guru, and No Doubt pieces, so it is the ball you move to as the lane dries and you want easy length with a controllable backend.
Surface Adjustments
The polished factory-compound finish gives the Intel Recon its clean length. Take the surface down with a lower-grit pad for an earlier, smoother read when the oil increases, or keep it polished for length when the lanes dry. Have surface changes done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.
Coverstock Care
Wipe the HK22 Pearl cover with an approved reactive ball cleaner after every session, and deep clean it periodically. Keeping the cover fresh preserves the clean length and smooth backend that define the Intel Recon.
