After countless months of research and development, and after multiple tests and discussions with players of all skill levels, the Roto Grip ROCKSTAR provides a new motion and reaction for both the competitive player ranks and the advanced player ranks to shred and rock on those Medium to Heavy Oil Conditions.
Offering new state-of-the-art technology in both the coverstock material and weight block shape design, the ROCKSTAR was developed to provide greater versatility on more oil conditions and lane surfaces than previous HP3 level balls since there have been plenty of advancements in the world of lane maintenance and lane surfaces in recent years.
The new NanoStar™ coverstock material is Roto Grip’s latest nanotechnology remix. This union of nano particles mixed with new chemistry provides similar traction in the midlane to that of our legendary MicroTrax™ material. However, the difference you will easily see is that the NanoStar™ material does not dig into the lane as early as MicroTrax™, it generates more responsiveness to friction down lane in terms of nanotechnology materials. In other words, breaking it down a little more for you… NanoStar is not as early as MicroTrax, and it’s not as clean and responsive as our eTrax™, eTrax PLUS™, or eTrax ULTRA™ materials. Therefore, it fills the gap between MicroTrax™ and eTrax™.
Showcased at the center of it all you will find our newly developed weight block shape that is destined for greatness, known as the ROCKER Core. Its authentic shape encapsulated in A.I. Core technology provides a more centralized rotation plane to better provide more continuation through the pin deck. As always, the Roto Grip team of R&D rockstars aim to develop weight block shapes that perform for bowlers of all skill levels not just the ones you see on TV. Meaning, the ROCKER Core is no different, it was designed for the masses. Let’s just say, the combination of amplified power and amplified motion results in sheer amplified awesomeness.
So, if you are indeed ready to rock, then look no further, ROCKSTAR is here and ready to make you famous!
The Virtual Energy Blackout builds on an already concrete foundation created by the Shape-Lock HD Core. But now, and sleeker than ever, the Blackout has taken the reigns with a tour-inspired 1-tone design. The shape you didn’t know you needed until it was gone is back!
A long time ago in a bowling center far, far away…the world of bowling entered a new level of ball reaction unrest. There were countless oil conditions which added to the complexity of the game. During this revolution very few centers of bowling chose to follow the path of slicker conditions, while the greatest number of centers chose the path of less volume and less length which created more overall friction.
During that time frame, Roto Grip elected to develop bowling orbs that cleared the front of the lane more easily to combat those higher friction conditions and higher friction lane surfaces to better serve the bowling republic.
More recently, however, the cries for help have echoed loudly from all around the bowling galaxy. Those cries for help all requesting greater traction with asymmetrical power to combat and fend off those heavier and longer oil conditions. So, they enlisted the help of our R&D Troops to lead this mission to restore the peace against the oil rebellion.
They wasted little time in tossing their research efforts into HYPERDRIVE to create what was needed for the masses in both the competitive and advanced levels of bowling games. In reviewing their current roster of asymmetric bowling orbs, the team of R&D troopers found that they were in fact in dire need of a more advanced propulsion block encapsulated in our MicroTrax coverstock traction system.
It was determined during this intergalactic review process that the best block to insert into their A.I. Core technology was in fact the RST (Roto Star Tour) block design. The combination of this singular density asymmetric shape encapsulated inside of an A.I. Core created an ideal amount of accelerated spin and torque thus leading to greater propulsion, thus resulting in the name HYPERDRIVE being given to this beautiful galactic bowling orb.
So, as you find yourself battling the sinister lane man at your local bowling establishment, may you find yourself at peace with the assistance of the HYPERDRIVE to combat and destroy those heavier and longer oil conditions.
The Level bowling ball is the groundbreaking debut of the Lab Series, a line designed to redefine performance through limitless innovation. Wrapped around the new Level is a new coverstock material that has physical properties never seen before in the bowling industry. This makes the Level a great choice when consistent, continuous, predictable ball motion is needed.
Wrapped in the revolutionary RPM (Regenerative Polymer Matrix) coverstock, the Level offers oil absorption rates never seen before, delivering consistent ball motion with less response to friction. Unlike traditional coverstocks that lose surface integrity over time, RPM maintains its surface profile for a predictable reaction on every shot. Built for bowlers who demand top-tier performance, the Level delivers unmatched consistency, control, and innovation for the modern game.
At its core is the Equalizer A.I. Core™, a tall, low-density weight block engineered to deliver a higher RG for a smoother, more controlled transition without sacrificing differential or consistency. This precision design ensures unparalleled repeatability and shot-to-shot reliability.
The most crucial part of the design is the overall density of the weight block itself. A lighter density was chosen in order to increase the RG value so the Equalizer™ A.I. Core™ would take longer to respond to friction. Lighter densities raise the RG, but they simultaneously decrease the total differential. Traditionally, a shape of this design would require a higher density slug to increase differential into a zone that would be more manageable for a majority of bowlers. The cuts towards the middle of the shape combined with the increased overall length of the weight block create more differential than would normally be seen with a shape of this size and density.
Brace yourself— a lethal dose of Venom is coming. The Venom line, already legendary, introduces the latest game-changer, the Lethal Venom. This wicked new addition offers the predictable and smooth motion you loved from the Venom Recoil but dials it up with the latest cutting-edge technology. Leverage MXC coverstock with Duramax technology pairs with the asymmetrical Gear APG core for a deadly combination.
At the heart of the Lethal Venom is the Gear APG asymmetrical core, and it’s an absolute powerhouse. With a fast-spinning low RG of 2.47, a controllably low differential of .036, and an intermediate differential of .013 — this core strikes the perfect balance of control and versatility. What does that mean for you? It’s like having the precision of the original Gear core from the Venom Shock—but on steroids. The Gear APG lets you adapt and attack the lanes with confidence.
Now, let’s talk coverstock—the Lethal Venom features the same Leverage MXC Solid Reactive cover originally found on the Subzero Forge. That means the Lethal Venom is the first Venom to contain the game-changer of Duramax additive technology! This means that the cover will hold its surface longer, have better traction in the oil, create a smooth down-lane motion, and allow for maximum control. This isn’t just innovation—it’s domination.
