BigFoot Ball GOOD
The BigFoot is the best symmetrical ball I have thrown in some time. I appreciate the way this ball shapes he lane. I found when I missed out it saw the lane in just the right spot and when I missed in it gave me just enough hold. I drilled mine 60x 4.25X 30 In the case of the BigFoot core and the moment arms of the core the drilling angle matters now on symmetrical cores. The 60 degree drilling angle caused the thumb hole to fall on one of the moment arms and thereby increasing the drilled asymmetry of the core and causing a stronger roll and backend motion. I clearly saw this in the performance of this ball.

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!

He's out of hiding
A sneaky symmetrical ball. When you drill it the Bigfoot becomes an asymmetrical ball with a very continuous shape. Very angular when you have defined friction, you still need friction. Great for many conditions.
