Ikon™ + A.I. Core Technology

The Ikon™ block itself has given bowlers of all skill levels performance for years. From the original IDOL winning multiple $100,000 paydays on the PBA Tour, to IDOL Helios racking up not one, but two sanctioned 900 series. So, we thought why not take that desirable motion and kick it up a notch. Boy did we ever. Placing the original Ikon shape inside the tested and proven A.I. Core Technology unlocked not only the amplified motion we were looking for, but it also created yet another level within our HP3 lineup of balls.


 



MICROTRAX™ COVERSTOCK

Bottom line, this coverstock technology just flat out crushes in terms of performance. Featuring a 100% nanoparticle load, this pearlized concoction provides midlane traction and response to friction while maintaining its surface profile over a longer period of time to ensure you get maximum performance each and every time. And just like the solid version, the pearl version displaces oil at the highest rate of any of our pearl covers. Basically, think of it as added forgiveness on those not-so-great shots off your hand.

Built for Medium to Medium/Heavy Oil Conditions

Here Ya Go: The all new Roto Grip Optimum Idol Pearl, aka: OIP is a ball that we in the #RG Crew have been missing for a LONGGGGG time. Just like the Big Brother, the Attention Star, this ball was created to make you think again about the strength of the Roto Grip Brand. This version of the MicroTrax Pearl reminds me a lot like the MicroBite Pearl we had on the Defiant Edge. While rolling this ball versus another symmetric pearl ball I could tell the OIP created better pin action while not under producing when the ball got into more of the middle of lane pattern where the heavier oil is. Smoother transition from wet to dry than my Summit Pearl, but definitely more length and angle the original Optimum Idol. The OIP had a shape down lane similar to the Storm Frantic from a few years ago. The Storm Frantic was one of the best balls I remember seeing PDW and other Storm staffers used in the past. YOU will see plenty of the OIPs going down the lane in your leagues and tournaments soon if not already. My current league bags for house pattern scratch league will be: Roto Grip X-Ray, Lighting Blackout, Optimum Idol solid, Optimum Idol Pearl, Harsh Reality Pearl, along with my RG spare ball.
