Roto Grip Ultimate Wrecker Bowling Ball

Drilled 4.5 x 2, the Ultimate Wrecker delivers a smooth, clean look through the fronts without being overly angular on the backend. The Wrecker AI core paired with the hybrid coverstock gives it a controlled, continuous motion—making it a reliable step down from stronger pieces like the Zen25 or Zen Gold Label, yet still a step up in strength and versatility compared to benchmark options like the Hy-Road or Hy-Road Pearl. A great option for blending wet-dry or transitioning from earlier, stronger looks. If you were a fan of the original Wrecker, defiantly pick up the Ultimate Wrecker

Pattern: 43’ House Shot Layout: 30 x 3 3/4 x 30 Surface: Box (Power Edge) The Roto Grip Ultimate Wrecker is the “Ultimate” revival of the once popular HP2 line of balls. Just like many of the modernized releases, the Ultimate Wrecker now features the Wrecker symmetrical core wrapped in the A.I. outer core creating a stronger and cleaner finish. Also, the Wrecker is finished with the premium Power Edge finish that can be seen on other hybrids such as the Origin. This combination provides some length down lane, snappier motion and clean finish through the pins. For me, this ball fits as a transitional piece that I can see myself using a lot deeper into league sets or high game blocks. Depending on your rev rate and ball speed, this piece could even fit to start your league night if some of the middle of the road pieces are a little too much. Overall, the Ultimate Wrecker will be Wrecking racks for anyone who drills one up. Trevor Kopas Storm Staff Ambassador Pro Shop Operator #Bigboybowling

A blast from the past! The new Ultimate Wrecker is special. Perfect for the medium house shots or when the lanes break down on sport shots. Where it fits? Step up from the hustle line / step down from the stronger pieces = perfect middle ground. The original HP2 line with a new kick of the A.I. Core makes this a must have in the bag.

The Ultimate Wrecker is a well-designed combination of Roto Grip’s proven Wrecker Core, wrapped with the powerful A.I. core technology. Then, when you add Roto Grip’s new Pure-Response Hybrid Reactive coverstock, you get an HP2 level ball that delivers excellent results at a price your pocket can afford. So, let’s take a closer look at the new Ultimate Wrecker! The Wrecker Core + A.I. Core Technology combines a smooth and predictable Wrecker core with the explosive power of A.I. Core Technology. I liked how the Wrecker core rolls to find its center without over-revving early in the mid-lane, which allowed the Ultimate Wrecker to store a good amount of energy as it comes off the pattern. For my straighter game, the Wrecker Core with A.I. Core Technology was surprisingly crisp and vibrant as it turned off the pattern. Then, as the Ultimate Wrecker gets into the roll phase, I liked how the A.I. Core technology turns the Ultimate Wrecker into an explosive pin-crushing machine with a continuation that rivals some of the larger symmetric core cover combinations. So, a straighter player like me will find that the Wrecker Core with A.I. Core technology will give you predictable results you can count on. Roto Grip certainly delivered with the Pure-Response Hybrid coverstock! The Pure-Response Hybrid fits my straighter, low-rev hand like a glove. I liked how the Pure-Response cover is clean through the front part of the lanes and has a smooth and predictable grip in the mid-lane, making the Ultimate Wrecker an excellent choice for straighter players who like to play down and in on a fresh THS and aren’t afraid to move in as the conditions begin to break down. I found the Pure-Response Hybrid coverstock delivered a smooth and consistent shape I could count on all night of typical league bowling without the fear of watching the Ultimate Wrecker suddenly “jump” off the pattern or “glide” past my break point as the conditions started to break down. So, straighter players like me will like how the Pure-Response Hybrid blends the over-under and breaking down conditions that we usually struggle to stay in our line as the night plays on. The Pure-Response is an excellent fit to surround the Ultimate Wrecker. In closing, I found the Roto Grip has reignited its HP2 line with the Ultimate Wrecker. The Ultimate Wrecker is an excellent combination of core and cover that will deliver outstanding results for any straighter, low-rev player like me—the innovative combination of Pure-Response Hybrid coverstock and Wrecker Core +A.I. Core Technology makes the Roto Grip Ultimate Wrecker a cost-effective striking machine. It’s stronger than a Hustle and rivals some of the larger symmetric ones on the market.

The Ultimate Wrecker has been a good ball for me. It is very versatile. I can play straighter with it, but I can also move left and get around the ball more to make it shape down lane. My carry percentage has been excellent as the ball rolls through the pins the proper way. I have not tried it out on any sport patterns but I will do that in the weeks coming up. For me the ball if a perfect blend of length and strength. Glad to see this ball back in the lineup.

The HP2 Line is one of my all-time favorites and the Ultimate Wrecker will surely become a new favorite. This ball was a bit stronger than the Hustles but yet not too strong. I felt like this ball really gave me a nice smooth motion the entire way and just walked itself right into the pocket. I was able to use this ball on the fresh and when I went to use it on the lanes after one of the leagues it still gave me a nice smooth roll but the response downlane was a touch more than the Hustles.

When I’m looking for a ball that blends power, control, and a modern motion shape, the Roto Grip Ultimate Wrecker delivers in a big way. It features the updated Wrecker + A.I. Core Technology, which lowers the RG and boosts the differential, helping the ball rev up faster and produce a more dynamic overall motion. The new Pure-Response Hybrid Reactive coverstock, finished with Power Edge factory finish, gives the Ultimate Wrecker a clean look through the fronts with a strong, controlled move in the midlane and a punchy continuation through the pins. Compared to other balls in the Roto Grip lineup like the Duo or Hustle M-M, the Ultimate Wrecker offers more shape and traction than the Hustles but with a quicker response and more downlane pop than the smoother-rolling Duo. It’s the kind of ball that shines when the lanes start to open up or you need a reliable read without sacrificing hit. For league and tournament players alike, the Ultimate Wrecker is a versatile, modern update to a classic name. Go to your local VIP proshop today and get yours!
