The Radical Snapshot Hybrid uses the same Super-Symmetrical Snapshot Symmetric core shape as the original Snapshot. This time, it is surrounded by the new HK22C+ Hybrid coverstock, which comes out of the box at a 500/3000 SiaAir finish. The original Snapshot featured a glossy pearl coverstock that provided more length and more angularity, but it has less total hook compared to the new Snapshot Hybrid. We found that this ball provided a controlled breakpoint shape and served as a big step down in motion from the new Guru Oracle.
Stroker
Stroker easily had the best reaction out of our three testers on the fresh medium oil pattern. He played a straighter angle than the other two bowlers, setting the ball down on 13, crossing 10 at the arrows, and getting it out to nine at the breakpoint. He saw a smooth arc at the end of the pattern, letting him stay much straighter than he could with balls like the Outer Limits Solid or the Guru Oracle. His adjustments to the oil breaking down were much smaller with the Snapshot Hybrid than with those bigger-hooking balls, only moving one board at a time with his laydown point to keep the ball in the pocket whenever it started to go high.
Stroker had a decent reaction on the heavy oil pattern with the Snapshot Hybrid out of the box. He made sure to tighten up his angles in
