First Impressions
The Radical More Cash, released in September 2017, was developed to complement the massive hooking power of the original Cash with a more versatile ball reaction. Visually, the ball comes in a solid navy / teal color combination that projects a certain calm at first glance. Inside works the proven Cash Asymmetric Core, a powerhouse with a 2.504 RG, a 0.048 differential and a significant intermediate differential of 0.020 (at 15 lbs). These numbers guarantee an early revving up and strong flare potential. The decisive change compared to its predecessor is the surface: the More Cash uses a hybrid version of the aggressive Cash shell (often also described as a modified solid formula), finished out of the box with a 500 and 2000 Siaair Micro Pad. This finer tuning compared to the extremely coarse original allows for a cleaner pass through the heads and more stored energy for the backend.
Comparison
In a direct comparison with the original Radical Cash (solid), known as an absolute "snow tire" for maximum oil, the More Cash offers noticeably more length and a more defined move at the breakpoint. While the original Cash often seems to grab right at your feet and runs a very early, round arc, the More Cash delays the start of the hook and delivers more "pop" in the pocket. Compared to the Radical Katana, the More Cash goes noticeably earlier and rounder; the Katana is built for maximum angle and skid/flip, while the More Cash closes the gap between traction and backend. Against a competitor like the Storm Sure Lock, the More Cash often appears somewhat longer and holds more energy for the pins once the lane starts to dry up, whereas the Sure Lock tends to "starve" during transition.
On the Lanes
The Radical More Cash is the ideal choice for heavier oil conditions where the original Cash or other extremely dull balls start to burn up energy too early. It works as a perfect "step-down" ball: when the heads have been played in a bit but there is still plenty of oil in the midlane, the More Cash provides the traction needed to keep from sliding away, yet still glides effortlessly through the first few feet. It is very well suited if you need a strong asymmetric core motion to improve carry but don't want to give up the control of a solid-type cover. It lets you play deeper angles than pure "oil monsters" without having to accept the unpredictability of a pearl ball.
