Roto Grip Idol Bowling Ball
Core
The newly created Ikon™ Core has pushed the symmetrical dynamics in the HP3 line to a whole new level. Measuring in with an rg value of 2.49 and a differential of .052, backend motion will not be a problem.
Cover
In testing and development we stumbled upon our strongest blend of Nano technology for the Roto Grip Brand to date, MicroTrax-S18. With tweaks in formulas and mix ratios we have created a coverstock that provides even more traction and is overall more aggressive than the Micro DNA Coverstock.
Condition
Bottom line, in the HP3 line we have been looking for the next generation of Haywire. Needless to say, the new IDOL is that and then some. You will see a similar motion in the midlane compared to the Haywire, but with the new core and new cover you will see more overall hook.

Roto Grip IDOL Layout: 55 x 5 x 60 Finish: 2000Ab What I saw on the lanes: I started where I have been looking and standing with my DD Trick on the THS and I found the ball was way stronger then what I thought it would be, and also stronger than the Haywire that I loved on SPL and Brunswick surfaces. The mid lane read was just like my Haywire, but the front end and back end were stronger. The overall hook was stronger than any other HP3 balls in the past. 4 boards right more and 2-3 boards left at the break point on THS on SPL and 4-6 on HPL, due to more grit of surface. Once again, Roto Grip and @Roto_Schlem have out done themselves again.
