Performance Analysis
Performance Analysis
The Radical Max Bias was designed as a heavy oil destroyer, featuring the Radical Maximum Results Asymmetric Core paired with the aggressive HK22+ Textured Hybrid Reactive coverstock. With its moderate RG of 2.49 and solid differential of .050, plus a significant mass bias of .030, this ball creates substantial flare potential of 5-6 inches, translating to impressive hooking power and pin carry on heavily conditioned lanes. The 1500 grit factory finish provides the right amount of surface texture to bite through oil while maintaining energy for a strong backend reaction.
This ball excels in heavy oil environments where other equipment might struggle to find traction. The asymmetric core design creates a predictable but aggressive motion that experienced bowlers can rely on when lanes are flooded with conditioning. However, its specialty design means versatility is limited - this isn’t a ball you’ll want to throw on medium or lighter oil conditions. The hybrid coverstock provides a nice balance between the early roll of solid reactive and the length of pearl reactive, making it more controllable than pure solid options while still maintaining the traction needed for heavy oil play.

If you were ever a fan of the Radical Maximum Results, then you will be very impressed with the new Radical Max Bias. This ball has one of Mo Pinel’s last core designs in it and it was an absolute winner in the Maximum Results. The Max Bias now features the HK-22 additive to it, which allows a bowler to move the breakpoint further down lane but retain its energy and create dynamic ball motion off the spot. I have the Max Bias drilled with the mass bias on my track side, allowing the ball to have a smoother, yet controllable and stronger ball motion through the pins. This ball is super clean and rolls very consistent. This ball is best used when lanes have heavy oil and you want to have predictability when the ball is going down lane. The Max Bias from Radical is a fantastic add to any bowler’s arsenal and this ball will not disappoint!
The Radical Max Bias will be that long oil, heavy volume ball in my bag. I anticipate using early this weekend bowling on the Billy Hardwick Pattern, 44' & 30 mls. I have only used it on a THS so far, but I like the shape it creates. Picks up early but is very continuous for a snow tire type ball. That is probably due to the addition of HK22 into the textured cover-stock formula. It also has a high asymmetry core that will add to the flare potential. If you are a speed dominant player or have low revs, this very well might be the everyday ball you need. I like what I see so far.
Max Bias I’m a left handed bowler a ball speed around 14.5 mph. My Rev rate is around 275 rpms. This ball is a beast. I compared it to my max results. The Max Bias cover is stronger. This ball has more continuous than the Max Results. If you are looking for a ball for heavy oil. Well then this is a great choice. Thanks, Robert way
Max Bias The Max Bias was created to be the ascension of the Maximum Results. It is just that in my opinion. I have the Bias a few boards stonger than the Max Results. It has a strong cover that re Iquires oil to retain energy at the pins. If there is oil the ball has great continuation through the pins. The Max Results was one of my favorites when released and I believe the Max Bias will be a great replacement.
I drilled the Radical Max Bias 90 x 2.25" x 45 to give me a short pin layout, big ball, that would churn in the mid-lane and keep going to deliver predictable motion in the heaviest of oil. The Max Bias is a new version of the Maximum Results, featuring the new HK22+ Textured Hybrid cover, and a stout 0.030 int. diff, the Max Bias gives bowlers the strong ball they're looking for, with the predictability you've come to expect from Radical. I have used this ball on everything from Earl Anthony to Cheetah, and have been able to play inside and outside angles with great results. This ball picks up earlier than The Hitter, but is smoother with the same amount of overall hook. If you are looking for that big ball with pattern versatility, then the Max Bias is for you.
