The Intel Core Gets a Stronger Hybrid Cover

About the Intel Recon Hybrid

Hot on the heels of the Intel Tour, Radical adds another ball to the Intel line: the Radical Intel Recon Hybrid. It features the same core as the original Intel, with an RG of 2.483 and a total differential of .032, numbers that are synonymous with control and consistency. It streets November 19, 2026 in Aquamarine / Blue.

Radical has had several Intel balls in its line, starting with the Intel Solid in 2018. With newer chemistry, Radical found a hybrid formula that perfectly matches the Intel core: the HK22 Hybrid cover at a 500, 1000, 1500 Siaair / Factory Compound finish, with DynamiCore, offers stronger motion than both the Intel Recon and the Intel Tour.

Understanding the Radical Modified Intel Symmetric Core and Radical HK22 Hybrid Reactive

Radical built the Intel Recon Hybrid for control and consistency with a little more strength than the rest of the Intel family. Specifically, the Modified Intel Symmetric core measures a 2.483 RG and a .032 differential at 15 lb, a low-flare, predictable engine, while the HK22 Hybrid cover at a 500, 1000, 1500 Siaair / Factory Compound finish adds traction over the Intel Recon and Intel Tour covers. The 13 and 12 lb weights use a dedicated core (2.574 RG, .040 differential at 13 lb). The full per-weight numbers are listed below.

The Proven Intel Engine, Built for Control and Consistency

At the heart of the Intel Recon Hybrid is the Modified Intel Symmetric core, the same core as the original Intel. At 15 lb it measures a 2.483 RG and a .032 total differential, numbers Radical calls synonymous with control and consistency. The low differential keeps flare modest, so the ball reads the lane smoothly and predictably.

That is why the Intel line has lasted since 2018: a stable, repeatable core that lets the cover decide how strong the ball is. The 13 and 12 lb weights carry a dedicated core tuned for those weights (2.574 RG, .040 differential at 13 lb).

A Hybrid Formula Matched to the Intel Core

Wrapping the Intel core is the HK22 Hybrid coverstock at a 500, 1000, 1500 Siaair / Factory Compound finish. Radical says that with newer chemistry formulations it found a hybrid formula that perfectly matches the Intel core, and it delivers stronger motion than both the Intel Recon and the Intel Tour.

With DynamiCore in the outer core, it also hits harder and holds up longer than a conventional build. The compound box finish gives it a clean look through the front with enough traction to keep the Intel core’s controlled shape on a little more oil.
