Roto Grip Halo Vision Bowling Ball

The new Halo Vison by roto grip shares the same core as the previous Halo's with the eTrax-H19 hybrid coverstock. The centrum core is one of the best rolling asymmetric cores on the market with its versatility and overall strength. The versatility of this ball is amazing allowing me to move inside and play the third or forth arrow. I can also more left, play this ball up the boards and just watch it slam into the pocket. I used the same Layout that I used on the halo pearl which is a pin in the ring layout 61x4-3/8x58 which is my favorite layout. What I wanted to see was the difference in the coverstock motion and it did not disappoint. The halo pearl allows me to stay left and play 2nd arrow out to 6 and get to the pocket with ease. The Halo Vision allows me to move my feet 4 to 5 boards left, rolling the ball across 14 and out to the 6 board and it makes it back. For me this ball is at its best on heavy oil but can handle medium lane conditions with a tweak to the surface. I love my roto grip hybrids and this one is no exception to that rule.

The Halo Vision is something I was missing at the top of my bag! Yes of course there is the original Halo but for whatever reason, the motion wasn't exactly what I like to see with my eyes. The Vision is cleaner through the fronts than the OG Halo but it is MUCH stronger in the mid lane than the Pearl. I was a big fan of the Defiant Soul and this ball definitely feels like a stronger sibling. For be the balls at the very top always struggled to get any action (SureLock, Halo) but this version seems to be a very usable, strong option that already has a familiar motion. If you are/were a fan of the Defiant Soul or you are looking for a motion that is similar to the Halo Pearl but with more read in the middle part of the lane...this is your answer!! The Layout I used was 60x5x35 which puts the pin above my ring finger. Here is my comparison video of the Halo Vision and Halo Pearl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amJq8zEDWcY Balls getting a lot of time on the lanes for me right now: Idol- 60x5x70 pin down with a p3 hole Idol PRO- 60x5x35 pin up Halo Pearl- 60x5-1/2x35 Physix- 60x5x35

The new Halo Vision has instantly become one of my favorites. I was a HUGE fan of the Defiant Soul, so when I saw the color scheme and heard that it would roll similar to the DS, I was instantly eager to drill one. Not only did I end up drilling one, I drilled TWO. You will not be disappointed. For me the Vision is slower downlane than the original Halo. Both the Pin up and down versions offer slow predictable motion off the breakpoint while offering exceptional pin carry. I see myself throwing these Visions on the fresh when the lanes are the oiliest. For me, the original Halo reads the mid lane much quicker and is sharper off the spot-- I think it goes without saying that the Halo Pearl will also be sharper off the spot than the Halo Vision. In terms of overall ball motion I think the OG Halo offers the most motion, running second is the Halo Vision and following that the Halo pearl is the sharpest downlane. In essence, the Halo Vision is the smoothest Halo yet. Heavy handed players who are eager to drill this ball should drill it fairly weak because its A LOT of ball. Players with lower higher balls speeds, and lower rev rates will absolutely kill the pins with the Halo Vision!

I have been going with weaker pin positions on the last couple releases with shorter val angles. I am looking to find some different options when the lanes begin to transition where I do not lose shape down lane. I did this with my Pro-Motions and with the new Halo Vision and MVP. I kept a layout I typically like on the Idol-Pro because I thought it would work real well with it. My thought was to jump from the Idol Pro on the fresh to the weaker drilled Halo Vision then ultimately to the MVP. Idol Pro: The Idol Pro is definitely in-between the original Idol and Idol Pearl. I got more length than the Idol but more control at the breakpoint then the Idol Pearl. This is in part to the sheen finish of the Idol Pro (sheen-3000 grit). The layout was on the stronger side for me so I saw a lot of overall hook with this ball where I could easily cross a lot of boards and the ball would still get back to the pocket. This will be a great ball on a multitude of patterns, house and sport. It, also, reacts well to surface changes if you need to see it pick up sooner or later. Halo Vision: We placed a longer pin and shorter val on this to have the ball get down lane with angle. I wanted to see it be clean yet controllable at the breakpoint but not lose any energy. The goal here was when the Ido Pro was too early I could get into the Halo Vision jump a little more inside and see the ball properly shape again. I believe we can see that from the video. I was able to get into my comfort zone with the slower ball speed by jumping in more than I was with the Idol Pro and still maintained good shape through the pocket. MVP: This ball is perfect for when the lanes are completely depleted up front. The MVP is high RG yet as a hybrid provides control at the breakpoint. This ball will allow you to ball down even more from your HP4 and HP3 line balls to something even cleaner without sacrificing energy out of the bowling ball. After the Idol Pro and Halo Vision I was able to move back right with the MVP and saw very good ball reaction. A ball like this should always be in your bag as in today's environments sometimes weaker is better.
