A Textured Polyester With a Surprising, Controllable Hook

About the The Spy

The Radical The Spy is a one-of-a-kind specialty ball that pairs a polyester cover with a real asymmetric core. It combines the asymmetric Spy Core with a Textured Polyester coverstock, so it goes straighter and reads later than a reactive ball, but the strong asymmetric core gives it a surprising, controllable hook at the backend. It is the spare ball that does more than go straight.

The Spy is built for bowlers who want a predictable, controllable shape on dry lanes. Polyester reads the lane gently and resists the oil, but the textured surface and asymmetric Spy core add a defined, controllable move that a plain plastic ball cannot make. The result is a durable, affordable ball that holds a true line with a little extra motion when you need it.

Understanding the Radical Spy Asymmetric Core and Radical Textured Polyester

Radical built The Spy to combine polyester control with a real asymmetric hook. Specifically, the asymmetric Spy Core posts a 2.513 RG, a .053 differential, and a .017 intermediate differential, numbers that give the ball a defined breakpoint for a polyester ball, while the Textured Polyester cover reads the lane gently and resists the oil. As a result, it holds a controllable line with a surprising, predictable move at the backend. The per-weight specifications are listed below.

An Asymmetric Core That Adds a Defined Move to a Polyester Ball

At the heart of The Spy is the asymmetric Spy Core. At 15 lb it measures a 2.513 RG, a .053 differential, and a .017 intermediate differential, numbers that are genuinely strong for a ball with a polyester cover. The asymmetric core adds a defined, controllable breakpoint that a simple plastic spare ball cannot produce.

Radical wraps the Spy core in DynamiCore for added durability and a stronger hitting ball. Because the core is asymmetric, layout has an influence on the reaction, so your pro shop can tune how much motion The Spy makes. The result is a unique ball: polyester control with a touch of real, controllable hook.

A Textured Polyester Cover for Control With a Touch of Motion

The Spy is finished with a Textured Polyester coverstock at a 500, 1000 Siaair finish with factory compound and polish. Polyester generates far less friction than reactive resin, so The Spy reads the lane gently and holds a controlled line, but the textured surface adds just enough grip to let the asymmetric core make its move.

That blend of polyester control and a textured surface is what makes The Spy so unusual: it goes straighter and more predictably than a reactive ball, but it can make a defined, controllable move at the backend. Take the surface down for a bit more grip, or smooth it up for a straighter reaction, with surface changes done at your pro shop.
