The Intel was one of Radical’s most popular releases—and the demand to bring it back never stopped. Enter the Intel Recon: designed to match the original’s trusted motion while enhancing performance with updated cover technology. Using the same core as the original (2.483 RG, 0.032 differential), the Intel Recon delivers familiar, reliable motion with just a touch more strength—about three boards stronger overall. To stay true to its roots, we paired the core with the original HK22 Pearl coverstock and finished it with 500, 1000, 1500 Siaair plus Factory Compound. The result? A modern benchmark ball that feels just like the classic Intel, only better.
Here is what Radical has to say about Intel Recon:
One of Radical’s best-selling balls ever was the Intel. Of all the balls requested to be brought back, the Intel leads the way. Our goal was to replicate the motion of the original Intel but upgrade the cover with modern chemistry. The Intel Recon hit our performance target. It was just three boards stronger than the original Intel, maintaining the same beloved ball motion. The Intel Recon core has an RG of 2.483 and a total differential of 0.032, the same as the original Intel. We wrapped the Intel Recon with the original HK22 pearl cover to keep the motion as close to the original Intel as possible. Finished with 500, 1000, 1500 Siaair and Factory Compound gave us the ideal benchmark motion we were aiming for.
