    look at where they have the name Radical on the ball. Theres a pin prick mark, a little circle with a dot in it.

    Draw line from the pin to the Mb and look around near where it pass's through the Radical name shoud be near there.

    You can see one here. Its between the D I

    What really threw me off was that this is a Radical Time's up which is a symmetrical core ball. I assume that means there is no mass bias mark. On the picture you posted the small R near the bottom is the mass bias whereas my ball has a large R on the opposite side of the pin from the CG.

    The Times up is a symmetrical core and checking some pics of it. It doesnt have the mb mark just the pin, radical name, cg mark and ball name. I cant find any with a large R on it. Can you post a picture? I cant think of what it could be, unless its just a R logo.

    Okay that "R" is just a company logo, it's not marking anything.

    I have never thought about CG before. I found it interesting that they out the name "radical" in such a way to mark this on a ball. Do any other balls have CG or anything else marked in this way?

    I'm sure there are balls that the CG isn't marked but I haven't seen a reactive ball yet that wasn't.
