Roto Grip Idol Pro Bowling Ball

HOMERUN! The Idol PRO is the Perfect fit between the Original Idol and the Idol Peal. The Idol was/is very good when the lanes are fresh but when you were chasing the transition left, you definitely got to a part of the lane where the Idol would just stop creating enough angle. Where as the Idol Pearl was never strong enough for me to use on the fresh. Once I migrated enough left or there was enough traffic that the shot burned up a little, The Idol Pearl was amazing. This ball won me a boat load of money. The Idol Pro is going to be a benchmark ball that you will be able to use all night long. The Pro Fills the perfect gap left by its predecessors. The Idol Pro is ball that could be right up there with the !Q Tour Solid...yes i just said that. The Idol reads the middle part of the lane better than the !Q while still being able to generate plenty of angle down lane. This ball will be in my bag for a LONG time! My Layout for this ball is 60x5x35, my typical pin up layout. Here is my comparison video of the whole Idol Series!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0pf-S90oH8 Balls getting a lot of time on the lanes for me right now: Idol- 60x5x70 pin down with a p3 hole Halo Vision- 60x5x35 pin up Halo Pearl- 60x5-1/2x35 Physix- 60x5x35

The Idol line has been one of my all time favorites. The Pink Idol provided consistent, early, heavy rolling ball motion that I love to see on the harder oilier lane conditions. The Idol Pearl was also a favorite of mine because its one of the smoother pearl balls Storm/Roto has released. It was a nice transition between the two balls that allowed for maximum scoring when the conditions allowed. Upon the release of the Idol Pro, I was a bit hesitant because we already have a solid Idol and the recent release of the Pro-Motion. I honestly thought it would just be a ball that would fade into the background. Boy do I stand corrected. IF you can imagine the strength of an Idol(Pink) with the angularity of an Idol Pearl-- then BAM you have the Idol Pro. This ball has every bit of the strength of the original idol with the pop off the end that the Idol Pearl provides. In my opinion this ball will work well for the rev challenged players as well as the players with higher ball speeds. In sum, this ball is a combination of the Idol (PINK) and the Idol Pearl. Its a few boards weaker than the Pro-Motion. I think this ball will be a great choice on the harder conditions especailly when the Idol is too early but its not time for the Idol Pearl. The Idol Pro is also an excellent choice on the overwalled house conditions because it will blend the wet dry nicely.

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.
