The RST HyperDrive from Roto Grip is the newest addition to the HP4 Line and it’s been extremely good so far. I was a huge fan of the RST line in previous years dating back to the RST X1 and RST X2. Those balls rolled extremely good and when we received word that an updated RST was being developed, I was excited to get my hands on one. The HyperDrive features the older RST (Roto Star Tour ) core boosted with A.I. core technology and it’s wrapped with the MicroTrax coverstock. The numbers show an RG of 2.52 and a differential of .055 with a PSA of .017.
I’ve drilled two so far and love both. The first one I drilled is mapped out as 4.5 x 4 x 2. This puts the pin near my ring finger and a stacked CG along with the mass bias just to the right of my thumb. Because the RG is higher compared to an Ion Max or Origin, it doesn’t dig super early in the front of the lane but it still provides a nice shape down lane. I’ve been able to keep my angles in front of me as well as shape it some if needed and there’s been plenty of giddy up down lane.
The second one I drilled is 5.5 x 5 x 2. This puts the pin above my middle finger and I also shined this one with 4000 and water on the ball spinner. When I need to open my angles but don’t need a super clean / quick ball, this RST HyperDrive is a home run. It’s clean but not too quick and doesn’t miss the mid-lane.
The HyperDrive compliments the RockStar, Ion Max, IQ AI, and Origin perfectly!
Go drill one!
