The Slant HD is the fourth high performance release from Radical. The HD uses the same coverstock as the original Slant, but with a beefed up core that offers more drilling options as well as more hook potential.

Tweener struck the most with this ball on our medium test pattern. The added differential really allowed his Slant HD to pick up the lane quicker than the original Slant, giving him more total hook and more strikes. Stroker and Cranker were not far behind. The added motion allowed them to get deeper than they could with the Slant, but with a different motion than the Hybrid and Solid versions.
