The Intel Benchmark Core With a New Hyper Control Cover

About the Intel Tour

The Radical Intel Tour carries the same symmetric core that made the original Intel a true benchmark ball, now wrapped in Radical’s new Hyper Control Solid coverstock. Radical built the Hyper Control Cover (HC) to add a new dimension to the urethane-style ball motion many players want, while still absorbing oil like a reactive resin ball. That means it stays legal in all PBA and USBC events, but it reads the mid-lane with the kind of smooth, controllable roll bowlers look for from urethane.

Where a strong reactive piece can over-react in today’s high-friction environment, the Intel Tour is meant to settle the lane down. The Modified Intel Symmetric core posts a low .032 differential at 15 lb for an even, predictable read, and the Hyper Control Solid cover keeps the motion smooth and forgiving rather than sharp. Radical positions it in the Reliable category as a control piece that belongs in every league and tournament bag.

Understanding the Radical Modified Intel Symmetric Core and Radical Hyper Control Solid Reactive

Radical built the Intel Tour for control in high-friction conditions. The symmetric Modified Intel core measures a 2.483 RG and a low .032 differential at 15 lb, numbers that produce an even, predictable read without excessive flare, while the new Hyper Control Solid cover at a 500, 1500 Siaair Micro Pad finish absorbs oil like a reactive ball and rolls through the mid-lane with a urethane-style smoothness. The result is a controllable, benchmark-friendly motion that calms down friction instead of jumping off it. The per-weight specifications are listed below.

The Intel Benchmark Core for an Even, Predictable Read

At the heart of the Intel Tour is the same symmetric Modified Intel core that made the original Intel a dependable benchmark ball. At 15 lb it measures a 2.483 RG and a low .032 differential, a combination that produces a smooth, even read with controlled flare rather than a sharp, angular move. The symmetric design keeps the motion consistent and easy to repeat, which is what makes a benchmark ball useful: it shows you the lane the same way shot after shot.

That lower differential is the key to the Intel Tour’s identity. Less flare means a calmer, more controllable shape, so the ball reads the friction without over-reacting. Paired with the new Hyper Control cover, the Modified Intel core gives you a piece you can trust to tell you what the lane is doing before you reach for stronger or weaker equipment.

A New Cover Built for Urethane-Style Control That Stays Tournament Legal

Wrapping the Modified Intel core is Radical’s new Hyper Control Solid coverstock, finished at 500, 1500 with a Siaair Micro Pad. Radical’s chemists developed the Hyper Control Cover (HC) to add a new dimension to the urethane ball motion many bowlers want in today’s high-friction environment. It is not a urethane cover. It absorbs oil like a reactive resin ball, which keeps it legal in all PBA and USBC events, while delivering a smooth, urethane-style mid-lane roll.

That blend is what sets the Intel Tour apart from both a standard reactive ball and a true urethane piece. You get the oil absorption and read of resin with the controlled, settled motion players associate with urethane. Leave the 500, 1500 Siaair surface as it comes for the most control, or adjust it at your pro shop to fine-tune length when conditions change.
