« on: August 30, 2024, 09:09:52 AM »
The Roto Grip Optimum Idol Pearl: a revolutionary addition to the IDOL series, now featuring the MicroTrax Pearl coverstock for the first time in the domestic market. This is a milestone, as Roto Grip's renowned nanoparticle pearl coverstock has never before been paired with this legendary core shape.

You'll find the Ikon + A.I. Core Technology inside, just like in the original Optimum IDOL. On the outside, the MicroTrax Pearl Reactive coverstock (recently used on the Exotic GEM) ensures a perfect balance of grip and friction response.

Bubblicious!!!

The Roto Grip Optimum Idol Pearl is a standout performer, especially for those who love a strong backend reaction. With an RG of 2.47 and a differential of 0.056, this ball is designed to be clean through the front half of the lane while delivering an aggressive motion at the breakpoint. This makes it perfect for medium oil patterns and when the oil transitions down the lane.

The pearl finish on the Optimum Idol Pearl not only adds a touch of style but also contributes to its performance by providing a smoother glide on the lane. The ball's IKON core with AI technology ensures a heavy roll and a forward motion, making it a reliable choice for those seeking consistent strikes.

Drilled mine pin down 4.5 x 3 x 4, which was more than enough ball for games 2 - 3 in league. A perfect compliment to the Solid OP and easily a great 1-2 punch combo.  Once its cover hits the friction it immediately shows its versatility, As I am able to stay close to the track and migrate left without losing control or carry. My layout allows me to stay straighter longer. I did break the cover with a 2000 pad at first because it was to clean like my 900G Zen GL.

Overall, the Roto Grip Optimum Idol Pearl is a versatile and powerful bowling ball that should enhance your arsenal for league and tournament play. Whether you're a seasoned bowler or just looking to improve your skills plus the ball looks so damn good. The OIP is worth considering for its performance and striking potential too :)

Roto Grip Optimum Idol Pearl
Coverstock: MicroTrax™ Pearl Reactive with Reacta Gloss
Core: Ikon™ A.I. Core (Symmetrical)
Color: Bubblegum/Iris

Review:
Our style: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 4x4x2 (pin is above bridge). Our first experience with this ball was a little interesting… it looked terrible on the fresh and couldn’t really get a consistent look on the burn where it makes you confident in switching to this ball. After the Phaze AI came out and the release of Power Edge we took reacta gloss off and switched it to the PE… and wow did it make a huge difference. Now the ball looks great on the fresh and even better on the burn. If you had a poor experience at first with this ball we recommend trying the new polish. The ball seems more smooth (which you can expect from an Idol line ball) and more stable through the end of the pattern while the pearlized cover really helps this ball stay continuous through the pins. Just another reason to make sure to alter the surface of your equipment to help match YOUR game.
