Watching this back again, this proves my first impressions right. It reminds me of a ball most people here haven't thrown, the Shinuchi Katana Shiranui. It's an overseas release, I believe a Japanese exclusive. It used the original Katana core, but what made it special was the cover. The base formulation was the UR cover from the Tenacity, but with the Forged cover additives included. That cover meant you could throw it almost anywhere at any time. Game 1 in the track? It strikes. Game 2 playing a baby swing shot? It strikes. Game 3 playing 5th arrow? What do you know, it strikes. It's possibly my favourite Radical ball, up there with the original Ridiculous and Jackpot Solid. So I may just need to get an Assault, in case anything ever happens to it.
Wow! Just wow! What an arsenal you can have with these Radical balls!!! Oh my might be THE BEST brand going right now! Thanks Phil. Oh yeah and Nick I suppose!
That last shot was insane. Kept it in the oil, entry angle 3.3 and impact angle 6.3. And the shot before it had 36.7 boards of total hook, all in the oil. Yikes!
I am not really a fan of black and orange and I am not even a Dodgers fan (Braves actually). However, history shows those two colors can be a part of a proven winner (see Inferno). This could be one of the best years for new releases in quite some time considering all the brands under the Brunswick umbrella.
Thanks. That ball looks great. Cool core. I also like to play straight. Recently got a GB4 hybrid, and am liking it. Bought it from Joey Pants. He’s also a Radical staffer. I get all my stuff from him.
So You're Telling Me There's A Chance? 😂. Ball looks awesome! Been waiting to see this beast. What is your opinion between this and the Brutal Collision? I know one is a solid and the other is Hybrid, but what is the strength comparison?
I'm sensing a Katana Strike vs. Outer Limits video soon. I wonder if this would be a good replacement for my buddy's Trailblazer he keeps at around 3000.
@brunsnick I don't have balance balance holes in my old katanas . They still work better IMO. Have you ever heard of anyone switching to the two fingers closest to the thumb. ? I am 56 and for the last 6 years trying every angle to clear the thumb. Gave up on the normal fingers. Switching to closest to the 2 fingers by thumb. . I'm now back to normal pitches on thumb. Since the change my average has climbed 10 pins and still climbing. 190 now and believe I will get back to low 200s.
@@jamesfriday3716 I have seen variations of the claw grip (index and middle) and ring finger and pinky used with nominal success. Usually it’s due to injury.

Wild Looking ball there, on the list to pick up for my sons arsenal!

Great complement to the Attack. Ball looks amazing. Katana core it’s my favorite.
Definitely need a comparison with the Assault and Outer Limits! That ball is looking mean on the lanes!
Nice big traction ball. Between this and the Track Archetype will be a great one two punch for the top of my bag in heavy oil.
Should be a nice ball to go to when Archetype is a bit too much or too slow.
Love that ball! Amazing!!!
I can't wait to see if they make the Katna Dragon updated
Do you prefer the strike or rhino teal more?
Very different balls.

Hits like a truck 💥😮
How close do you think the assault is to the zen gold label and where does this strike and bw 2.0 hybrid fit
I don’t know competitor products, sorry.
I’d like to see you throw the Outer Limits hybrid.

how different is it than the Katana Assault ? I like it .. from Robo Cop
Picks up sooner, stronger cover here looks like.
How far left can you GO! 😮
how do u think this ball would be for a low tilt low rev low rotation bowler
Likely a bit too much ball. Might roll forward on you.
Radical ver. of the Hammer Envy 👍
How’s that? Color?
@@brunsnick Colors...granted the Envy is one of the strongest around but this right up there
@@brunsnickvery hammer-esque color scheme 😂 🔨
NICK!!! Yes Dumb and Dumber…but Katana ball good…yet again! The Brands are really making it hard to pick just one!!!
Yep just another good ball from radical!!!
Is this gonna be versatile like the katana Slash?
Looks to be!
Colors remind me of the original Inferno 😀

I haven’t thrown the Brutal to be honest so it’s hard to say for sure.
@brunsnick Had to ask because they look like the two strongest with HK22. Thanks for the video! Keep them coming!
What layout do you have on the katana
60x5x20

I’d say so. 👍🏻
Los Dodgers….. let’s gooooo…..
I thought it was Jim Carey said I like a lot
They should not have added the flip block. Og katana core was a goat.
Modified because you can’t use balance holes like you could then. Couldn’t achieve the same after drilling numbers.
