Radical Evil Eye
Keep your eyes on the lanes—the Radical Evil Eye sees everything. This addition to Radical’s Super Symmetrical lineup, the Evil Eye introduces an all-new core design that takes versatility and performance to a whole new level.
At its heart lies a groundbreaking symmetrical core with an RG of 2.493 and 0.045 total differential, but what truly sets it apart is what happens after drilling. Thanks to its distinctive core shape and protrusions, the Evil Eye delivers the widest range of intermediate differential ever seen in a symmetrical ball—ranging from .009 to .023. This gives pro shop operators the power to fine-tune reaction shape, keeping it purely symmetrical or transforming it into a controlled asymmetric powerhouse.
Wrapped in the HK22C Solid Coverstock and finished with 500/1500 Siaair, this black beauty is built to dig in and handle heavy oil while maintaining Radical’s signature strong, continuous motion.
With the Radical Evil Eye, nothing on the lane escapes your sight.

Radical Evil Eye
So, I decided to drill a Radical Evil Eye as a bit of an experiment and because I love black colored bowling balls. The Evil Eye features the "Evil Eye" symmetric core. However, depending on the layout used and the starting shape of the core, the core's original shape can be altered to create a significant variation of differential and in the end, create a variety of ball motions. The Evil Eye has an HK-22C solid black cover finished at 1500 Siaair. As I've explained recently, I've been working with trying to create slower response/smoother ball motions. I saw the drill sheet and I saw the "Maximum Control" layout which is 90 x 2 1/4 x 45 and that's what I decided to try. It's been a very long time since I tried a "short pin" layout and given the core/cover combination, I figured this might be a good piece with which to experiment. I was hoping for a motion a small step up from urethane. I threw it at box surface on somewhat fresh THS. After throwing the Evil Eye with this layout, I definitely drilled a very slow response piece of equipment which is extremely smooth and round in its shape. Mission accomplished! It's clear to see how early the ball begins to read and how smooth and forward it is off the spot. I like that notwithstanding that type of motion, the Evil Eye still has enough to kick out the 10 pin. (I saw this exact hit multiple times during this practice session.) Looking at the drill sheet, it is clear that there are other layouts that will yield a quicker response downlane. Thus, there is versatility in terms of types of ball motions that the Evil Eye can achieve. With this layout, the Evil Eye will definitely be a ball best used on fresh patterns, I'm guessing with medium to shorter distances. It may work well to blend out cliffed house patterns to start. The Radical Evil Eye is readily available. See your local pro shop for more information.

Radical Evil Eye
The Radical Evil Eye says to have a symmetrical core, but it has that big protrusion sticking out one side of it. Hmmm. I am not a physicist, so I'll let the smart core builders at Radical classify this ball any way they want. All I can tell you is that the ball rolls very well for me. It has an aggressive solid cover that includes HK22C. I have found in the past that big aggressive pieces like this tend to lose energy when I get in deep. They burn up early and don't have that kick to get up the hill and carry, usually leaving a flat ten pin. The Evil Eye so far has not been that way. It has gotten around the corner with good energy and continues to carry for me. Nice piece.
