The Radical Vexed brings an asymmetric option to Radical's Top Shelf lineup, building on the technology behind the Evil Eye with increased overall hook and a sharper backend motion. Its combination of the Vexed Asymmetric core and HK22C+ Solid coverstock creates a strong reaction for bowlers looking for more downlane motion.

Designed to complement the Evil Eye, the Vexed offers a stronger core and upgraded coverstock for a more assertive overall shape. Its balanced differential ratio and specialized drilling concept also give bowlers and pro shops additional options for fine-tuning the ball's reaction to match their game.

Coverstock

HK22C+ Solid - This solid reactive coverstock combines Radical's HK22 cover technology with the C+ formulation to produce strong traction and an aggressive overall reaction. The 500, 1000, and 3000 Siaair Micro Pad finish provides a textured surface to help the ball read the lane and maintain a strong motion through the backend.

Core

Vexed Asymmetric Core - This asymmetric design features a 15 lb RG of 2.498, a total differential of 0.036, and an intermediate differential of 0.012. Its design supports increased overall hook and sharper backend motion compared with the Evil Eye. Radical's drilling system also uses the core protrusion and thumb-hole placement to help influence the ball's performance characteristics.

When to Use

The Vexed is suited to medium to heavier oil conditions when you need strong traction and more overall hook than a cleaner or more controlled ball can provide. Its solid coverstock and textured finish help establish a confident lane read, while the asymmetric core supports a stronger move downlane. Surface adjustments and layout choices can further tune its response to the lane and bowler.

Arsenal Fit

Fits as a strong asymmetric solid for bowlers who want more overall hook and a sharper backend than the Evil Eye. It provides a useful option when moving up in strength from a more controlled symmetrical ball, while offering layout flexibility to fine-tune the reaction for different styles and conditions.

Ball Tech

HyperKinetic22 (HK22) - Radical's HK22 cover technology is designed to enhance color clarity and translucency through engineered nano micellular phase separation technology. In the Vexed, it forms part of the HK22C+ Solid coverstock formulation.

DynamiCore Technology - This outer-core technology uses a more durable outer material that compresses less upon impact, helping increase hitting power and producing a more pronounced sound and pin carry.
