Product Description
The Radical Intel Tour takes the trusted benchmark motion of the original Intel and upgrades it with new cover technology to create a must‑have control piece for today’s conditions. Intel Tour keeps the same low‑RG Intel symmetric core, posting an RG of 2.483 and total differential of 0.032 in 15 lb, giving medium flare potential and a very stable, predictable shape. Wrapped in Radical’s new Hyper Control Solid coverstock in a bold Magenta color, Intel Tour is designed to mimic the mid‑lane roll everyone loves from urethane while maintaining the oil absorption and legality of reactive resin in all USBC and PBA competition.
Finished at 500/1500 Siaair, Intel Tour digs in early enough to blend wet/dry, yet its lower differential and controlled cover keep the motion smooth and continuous rather than violent. This combination makes Intel Tour an ideal benchmark ball for league and tournament players who prioritise control, consistency, and predictability and need to clearly see what the lane is doing before balling up or down. Positioned at the Reliable performance level and featuring DynamiCore outer‑core technology for enhanced hitting power and durability, Intel Tour is built to be that “always in the bag” ball you can trust on medium and tricky patterns alike.

Radical Intel Tour Bowling Ball FAQ
Q: Who is the Radical Intel Tour designed for?
A: Intel Tour is for bowlers who value control, consistency, and a readable motion—league and tournament players who want a benchmark ball that clearly shows lane transition without over‑reacting.
Q: How does Intel Tour compare to the original Intel?
A: It uses the same Intel symmetric core and similar low‑RG/low‑diff blueprint, but replaces the original Ai25 solid with the new Hyper Control Solid cover, creating a smoother, more urethane‑like mid‑lane roll with modern reactive oil absorption and broader competitive legality.
Q: What kind of ball motion should I expect?
A: Expect an early, smooth read with a very controlled, continuous motion that blends wet/dry and avoids sharp changes of direction—perfect for keeping your angles in front of you and managing over/under on typical house and sport patterns.
Q: What lane conditions suit Intel Tour best?
A: Radical lists Intel Tour for medium oil, making it an excellent choice on fresh league shots where you want control, and on flatter patterns where over/under is a concern.
Q: What are the RG and differential numbers for the 15 lb Intel Tour?
A: For 15 lb, Intel Tour’s RG is 2.483 and total differential is 0.032, giving moderate flare and a signature benchmark‑style symmetric reaction.
Q: How does the Hyper Control Solid cover differ from urethane and HK22?
A: Hyper Control Solid is a reactive cover designed to mimic urethane’s smooth mid‑lane roll while absorbing oil like resin; unlike some traditional urethane covers, it remains legal in all USBC and PBA events, and it is not based on HK22 chemistry.
Q: Where does Intel Tour fit in my arsenal?
A: Intel Tour is your control/benchmark slot: a first‑ball‑out option when you need to read the pattern, a step down from stronger asymmetrics, and a predictable alternative to true urethane when you want similar shape with more carry and broader legality.
Q: Does this ball come with a warranty?
A: Yes, Intel Tour features a two‑year limited warranty from the date of purchase.
