Trick the competition with the Roto Grip Dare Devil Trick bowling ball. Roto Grip has taken the Madcap core that was introduced in the original Dare Devil ball and combined it with the Reckless Solid Reactive coverstock and then finished it with a 2000 grit pad. The Madcap core has proven itself as one that offers midlane roll that continues through the pin deck unlike other symmetrical shaped cores from Roto Grip. The solid version of this ball offers more traction and response to friction than the original. This ball was made for medium-heavy to heavy oil conditions but can be tweaked to handle lighter oil too.

Andrew similar to your shots in the video, I've found I have a lot of success playing mine around the 5 board, even a bit outside.

And I'll never understand chris' shot. I'm a firm believer in everyone has their own shot and it obviously works for him. But I'll never get how it appears as if he just gives up on the shot. Dude kills it, I just can't figure out how haha

This ball is absolutely amazing. I wanted this ball to complement the original. it allows me to step up when the lanes are a little more oily and still be able to use a more controllable piece then going to a no rules.  I could play deep in the oil and the ball would still have the power to kick corners or swing it out to the dry playing whole lane and still had no problems getting back to the pocket. This ball is available now. Go see you local pro shop operator today, you won't be disappointed. If in the Evansville, IN are go out and see Nick Austin at The Bowling Place located in Arc Lanes. . Roto Grip own it.

Roto Grip - Dare Devil TRICK

Ready for a TRICK?  This ball does is a ball that fits nicely into anyones bag.  With the lightbulb core and very predictable motion, this ball allows you to play many different lines.  The featured RECKLESS coverstock has bite.  If you like the Dare Devil than you will love the TRICK.  This ball is a great compliment to the pearl dare devil. Great ball to start in the oil with and as the lanes break down switch to the pearl.  I drilled 2 of them, first one was 85x5x35 which allows the ball to get down lane and respond to the friction quickly for those inside lines, and it does exactly that.  The second one I drilled 75x3 3/4x45 to give me a smoother look when you need to blend out that pattern and have a consistent look to the pocket.  Both balls reacted exactly to how they were drilled.  This will be a stronger benchmark ball but not too strong. Love the predictable motion with it and the consitentancy of the coverstock and weight block combination.  Normally I dont throw a lot of solids due to me slower ball speed and 350 rims they tend to burn out faster on me, but this ball has done a very good job of giving me a solid ball that maintains some energy down lane and gives a strong but consistent look. This is a great ball!

The Daredevil Trick is Roto Grip's newest in the HP3 line.  This is the ultimate sport condition ball, it has enough traction to be in play on heavy volumes and is smooth enough to use on shorter conditions but is most at home on all things medium.  Smooth and controllable is the name of the game for the Trick, it's like an updated version of the IQ Tour Solid for today's heavier volumes.  This is one of those balls that every serious tournament bowler needs, and should be the first or second ball in the bag.  Surface changes show a wide range of condition coverage, it's an extremely versatile ball.  The Trick is best from straighter angles, but heavier hands will be able to catch it all at the bottom without seeing it overreact on the backend.  It will need polish to be viable on all but the wettest of house conditions, and lower rev or higher speed games may not see the shape they need out of the Trick on a house shot, but this ball will play for every type of bowler on medium sport conditions.

The Dare Devil Trick is great!  When the Dare Devil (pearl version) was released, I immediately loved it, but I wished I had a heavy oil version.  The DD Trick solves that problem.  I get that same great Dare Devil shape, but the Trick can handle much more volume and is much smoother on the back.  It’s perfect for the fresh or heavy oil.  It’s definitely a must have if you’re looking for a compliment to the Dare Devil!

The Dare Devil Trick is the newest release in the HP3 line by RotoGrip.  The Dare Devil Trick has the Madcap Core and the Reckless Solid reactive coverstock.  This formulation allows the Trick to be responsive in oil and to be continuous on the backend.  The Dare Devil Trick reminds me a lot of the IQ Tour and also of the Disturbed with more overall reaction down lane.  I decided to go pin down with the layout with the cg kicked out with a medium size, which is my favorite layout.  The dual angle numbers are roughly 45 X 6 X 70.  My coordinates are rev rate around 300, medium ball speed, right handed and my PAP is 5 5/8 over and ¾ up.

I was able to throw the Dare Devil and the IQ Tour in the same practice session as the Dare Devil Trick on a Fresh and a beat up Typical House Pattern.  What I noticed was the Dare Devil was of course longer and stronger at the break point because it is pearlized which did not surprise me at all.  The surprise came when the IQ Tour and Dare Devil Trick was thrown…  The Dare Devil Trick was about 3 to 5 boards stronger than the IQ Tour with more backend motion.  Even though the Trick was stronger throughout the lane it is still predictable in the mid lane and very continuous through the pin deck.  The IQ Tour and the Dare Devil Trick blended out the over under and really opened the lane up early on.  However, when the heads started to fry up and my angles started to get away from my comfort zone… the Dare Devil was perfect.  The predictable ball motion of the Dare Devil Trick will give you a very good idea of how the lane is playing!

The Dare Devil Trick is a great all around benchmark ball.  I’ve had the opportunity to use it on a variety of patterns and haven’t found many where it won’t work.

On THS, this ball can work in the track or covering boards.  It manages transitions very  well.

On sport patterns, the Trick works quite well.  It reads the fronts and just rolls without jumping when it encounters friction.  It’s one of the best symmetric balls that I’ve used on competitive patterns.   This ball was my only/best option when I was in Vegas for the USBC Open.  It worked great on both patterns (if only I had realized this during singles).

As a benchmark, you can’t go wrong or possibly do better than the Dare Devil Trick.
