The Sneak Attack Solid joins the EZ-Use line for Radical this summer season. This ball uses the Sneak Attack Symmetric core design from the original Sneak Attack.

Despite not being an overly strong ball, Cranker found that the sanded cover had no problem creating traction for him on the heavy oil pattern. He needed to keep his angles tighter through the front because it was weaker than the Innovator Solid and Outer Limits, but the Sneak Attack Solid provided enough motion to strike easily on the fresh.
