Product Description
Radical is very excited to announce two new launches. The Torpedo falls under the Top Shelf category, and the Torpedo Direct Hit falls under the Reliable category. Both Torpedo balls feature a newly developed asymmetrical core and new formula covers to offer a very wide range of performance.
The Torpedo and the Torpedo Direct Hit have core numbers of 2.482 RG, 0.054 total DIFF, and 0.017 INT DIFF. The big difference is in the coverstocks. The Torpedo Direct Hit has our newly formulated Low Friction Cover (LFC). Like the concept of The Spy, we have developed a ball that can use the same dynamic core as the Torpedo but with a low friction cover so it can be used on dry lanes or as a spare ball. Players with lower ball speeds can now take advantage of an asymmetrical ball without having the ball roll forward at the end of the pattern and hit flat.
The uniqueness of the Torpedo core comes from the drilling performance range. The starting DIFF are 0.054 and 0.017, and they can be drilled to create a total DIFF of 0.068 with an INT DIFF of 0.034. They can also be drilled to a DIFF of 0.043 and an INT DIFF of 0.016. These drilling options make the Torpedo very versatile, and along with the cover options, they can cover all lane conditions for a wide variety of bowlers’ styles.

Radical Torpedo Direct Hit review!
I drilled the Radical Torpedo Direct Hit 55 x 4.5” x 35 to mimic the layout used on my Radical Torpedo. I wanted a 1:1 comparison, and these two balls are perfect compliments for varying oil patterns. The Torpedo Direct Hit has the newly formulated Low Friction Cover (LFC), making it great for lower ball speeds or rev dominant players. I can move 8-4 left (left-handed) with the Radical Torpedo Direct Hit compared to the Torpedo, tighten up my line, and play closer to the friction without worrying about the ball jumping or hooking early. The lower friction cover helps the ball glide down the lane, making it the perfect ball for late shift moves, lower volumes, or burn squads. I can stand closer to the gutter, allowing me to get enough entry angle to carry those pesky corner pins on the regular. If you are looking for a perfect ball that gives you that quality asymmetric hit, with a controllable cover, then the Radical Torpedo Direct Hit is perfect for you!
