Radical Bigfoot Review
Stats: Speed – 17.0; RPM – 335; AT – 19; AR – 55
Layout: 5” x 40
The Bigfoot is an updated version of the popular Squatch line, with significant changes to the technology that will improve and enhance the Bigfoot to a whole new level! I drilled my Bigfoot to get length with good pop at the breakpoint, and take advantage of the extra traction from the TP-1+ pearl cover. The Bigfoot also features DynamiCore for increased hitting power and better longevity. I have used it on a couple of different oil patterns and here is my assessment:
39 ft. THS (typical house shot): The Bigfoot is sensitive to the big cliffs I see on the house shot in one particular center, as the ratios are high on the oil pattern. So, I made changes to the cover to compensate, and the Bigfoot was extremely playable at both 1000 and 2000 grit, making a defined motion, but also able to handle the amount of inside oil and blend the pattern as the night went on. I was pleasantly surprised how well it went through the pins, giving me more messenger strikes than I have seen from a symmetric ball in quite some time. I am looking forward to using it on more of these patterns and at different surfaces to see the true nature of the Bigfoot’s versatility.
35 ft. Ballard pattern: The Bigfoot really shines on this pattern. It is a shorter, medium volume sport pattern that allows the best features of the Bigfoot to be utilized properly. I went 244, 255 in league last night, playing 12-3 and really getting the proper shape through the pins with the Bigfoot. I had taken the ball back to box finish for this pattern, and it matched up perfectly. I really look forward to using the Bigfoot on more of these shorter to medium length sport shots, as it will be one of my “go to balls”. This is a homerun here from Radical.
If you are looking for that slam dunk down-lane reaction for your “go to” symmetrical pearl ball, look no further than the Bigfoot. This will be the first symmetrical ball out of my bag when I want defined motion off the spot. Available to pre-order now from Bowler Builders Pro Shops, and from pro shops everywhere on 3-25-2022!
