Great transition ball!
This ball works great during the transition. The 3000-grit surface helps it get through the heads, but since it is not polished it does not skid too far down lane. I have used it on both sport and house shots, and works great.

Radical Katana Strike Review!
The Radical Katana Strike fills the hybrid asymmetric void in my bag, fitting in perfectly between the Katana Assault and the Innovator Solid. I drilled the Katana Strike 40 x 4.25" x 70 to give me a longer transition from skid to hook to roll, and a strong pin to make sure it flares good in heavier volumes. The Katana Strike is super versatile, as you can see form the video link I provided with this review. You can slow hook it, or pipe it straighter, it still has good pin action, even with lower entry angles.
I have used the Katana Strike on sport patterns such as Chichen Itza 40, Beefy Burrito 36', and Mark Roth 39', having good success on all three. On a 42' THS, it is a killer, giving me plenty of miss room with outstanding pin action. You can see from the video comparison to the Katana Assault that the Katana Strike is about 3-4 boards stronger, and 2-3 feet sooner to start its move on the lane. Make sure you get to Bowler Builders Pro Shop, or your local pro shop to pick up the Katana Strike and join the Radical Revolution today!

Strikes a lot
Katana strike
I’m a left handed bowler with ball speed around 14.5 mph. My Rev rate is around 275 rpms. This ball matches up great with the katana assault. The strike starts up sooner with a little more control backend in motion. It’s still a big backend ball. But with hybrid cover it makes the ball hook sooner than the assault. I think it’s a great addition to the katana line and Radical bowling Technologies.
It’s the first ball out of my bag for league.
Thanks,
Robert Way
