Description
The Torpedo Core With Maximum Length and a Clean Backend
About the Torpedo Direct Hit
The Radical Torpedo Direct Hit is the cleanest, longest-reading member of the Torpedo family. It pairs the asymmetric Torpedo Core with the Low Friction Pearl Reactive coverstock at a polished finish, so it gets down the lane the easiest of the three Torpedoes and saves its energy for a strong, angular move on dry to medium oil and transition.
The Torpedo Direct Hit is built for length and angle. It shares the strong Torpedo asymmetric core with the Torpedo and Deep Impact, but its low-friction pearl cover conserves the most energy through the front of the lane. The result is the Torpedo’s signature flare and shape, delivered with maximum length and a sharp downlane finish for when the lane opens up.
Understanding the Radical Torpedo Asymmetric Core and Radical Low Friction Pearl Reactive
Radical built the Torpedo Direct Hit for maximum length and a clean, angular backend on dry to medium oil. Specifically, the asymmetric Torpedo Core posts a 2.482 RG, a strong .054 differential, and a .017 intermediate differential for high flare and a defined breakpoint, while the Low Friction Pearl cover at a 2000-grit polish reads the latest of the Torpedo family and saves the most energy for a sharp move down lane. As a result, it gives you the most length with a strong, angular finish. The per-weight specifications are listed below.
A Strong Asymmetric Core, Shared Across the Torpedo Family
At the heart of the Torpedo Direct Hit is the same asymmetric Torpedo Core used across the Torpedo family. At 15 lb it measures a 2.482 RG, a strong .054 differential, and a .017 intermediate differential, a combination that produces high track flare and a pronounced, defined breakpoint.
Radical wraps the Torpedo core in DynamiCore for added durability and a stronger hitting ball. Pairing that strong core with a low-friction pearl cover is what gives the Direct Hit its identity: the same flare and shape as the Torpedo, but with maximum length for when the lane dries.
A Low-Friction Pearl Cover for Maximum Length
The Torpedo Direct Hit wraps that core in Radical’s Low Friction Pearl Reactive coverstock at a 2000-grit polish. The low-friction pearl conserves more energy through the front of the lane than the Torpedo or Deep Impact, so it gets down the lane the easiest and then makes a strong, angular move off the friction.
That maximum length and sharp backend make the Direct Hit the dry-lane piece of the Torpedo family: when the Torpedo and Deep Impact read too early, the Direct Hit pushes through the heads and saves its energy for the pins. Leave it polished for the most length, or take the surface down at your pro shop for an earlier read on more oil.

Good to Know Before You Buy
·Strong, aggressive motion: This is a high-flare piece built for traction. If you want a controlled, lower-hook reaction, a lower-differential ball will suit you better.
·Ships polished: The 2000 Grit Polish finish runs clean and long out of the box. For an earlier read on heavier oil, take the surface down at your pro shop.
·Asymmetric layout sensitivity: Layout choices shift the reaction more than on a symmetric ball. Match the pin and mass bias to your game with your pro shop.
·Colors vary: Actual colors vary somewhat from the photos shown; no two balls come out of the mold exactly alike.
·Tiny pit holes are normal: A few tiny pit holes in the coverstock are a normal part of the manufacturing process.
·Sold undrilled: Ships without finger holes, so it can be fitted to your hand and span.
BowlersMart Tips: Where the Torpedo Direct Hit Fits in Your Radical Arsenal
Where It Fits in Your Arsenal
In the Radical lineup, the Torpedo Direct Hit is the cleanest, longest-reading member of the Torpedo family. It shares the Torpedo core with the Torpedo and Deep Impact, but its low-friction pearl gets the most length. Throw the Deep Impact on fresh heavy oil, the Torpedo through transition, and the Direct Hit when the lane dries and you need length.
Surface Adjustments
The 2000-grit polish gives the Torpedo Direct Hit its maximum length and angular backend. Take the surface down with a lower-grit pad for an earlier read on more oil, or keep it polished for the most length when the lanes dry. Have surface changes done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.
Coverstock Care
Wipe the Low Friction 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 sharp backend that define the Torpedo Direct Hit.
