Details
The Radical Intel Tour brings back one of the most trusted benchmark core designs in Radical’s lineup and pairs it with an all-new coverstock engineered for today’s lane conditions. Designed for bowlers who prioritize control, consistency, and predictability, the Intel Tour delivers the smooth, readable ball motion that makes it easy to see the lane, make confident adjustments, and stay ahead of transition. Whether you’re bowling league or competing in tournaments, this is the type of ball that quickly becomes one of the most reliable pieces in your arsenal.
At the heart of the Intel Tour is the proven Modified Intel Symmetric core, featuring a 2.483 RG and a low .032 differential in 15 pounds. That combination produces a true benchmark reaction with controlled flare and an exceptionally stable motion from the midlane through the pins. Rather than creating a sharp, angular move off the breakpoint, the Intel Tour offers a smooth, continuous shape that blends wet/dry conditions and provides the consistency bowlers rely on when reading a lane pattern. It also features DynamiCore technology, Radical’s innovative outer core material that enhances durability while delivering impressive hitting power and excellent pin carry.
The biggest story, however, is Radical’s new Hyper Control Solid coverstock. Developed specifically for today’s higher-friction environments, the Hyper Control cover creates the smooth midlane roll many bowlers love about urethane—but without actually being urethane. Unlike traditional urethane, the Hyper Control cover absorbs oil like reactive resin, making it fully legal for both USBC and PBA competition while maintaining a predictable, controlled motion that keeps overreaction to a minimum. The result is a unique reaction that bridges the gap between reactive resin and urethane, giving bowlers exceptional control without sacrificing consistency as the lanes transition.
Finished with a 500/1500 Siaair Micro Pad surface, the Intel Tour is ideally suited for light to medium oil conditions where stronger reactive equipment begin to overreact. Its smooth response to friction, controlled backend motion, and dependable continuation make it an outstanding choice for bowlers who prefer to keep their angles in front of them while maintaining exceptional control from shot to shot.
