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

The new Roto Grip Optimum Idol is an absolute hook monster!!! For me this piece is cleaner and sharper than the Phaze AI. To tame this big piece, I went with a pin-underRead more about review stating Optimum Idol is a hook monster! bridge layout, 5” pin with a 4. 5” pin buffer. This allows me to keep the ball a bit more in front of me but with a light 3000 surface prep, I can use this piece even on fresh patterns. This one’s an absolute league pattern killer!!!! The Idol core has proven very successful, and this piece is no exception. If you are looking for a bigger piece to cover a lot of boards or a lower rev player, this piece is for you, go check out this monster!!!

The Optimum Idol Pearl exceeded my expectations with its performance. It is one of the earliest rolling pearls I’ve ever thrown, picking up just after the mid-lane with a smooth, gradual, yet continuous motion through the pins and off the pin deck. I’ve tested the Optimum Idol Pearl on various conditions, and it consistently delivers a reliable and impressive reaction. The ball offers a generous amount of area and stands out as one of the most predictable balls I’ve thrown. Chaise shares the same positive experience, agreeing that this is truly an exceptional ball.

What I saw is you can get this ball into the friction a little early and it won’t be jumpy coming off the backend and gives a clean finish. The Optimum Idol pearl works well on medium to heavy oil conditions depending on the oil pattern you are bowling on, and could be a great transitional ball depending on how the lane breaks down. This Optimum Idol pearl is great for all types of styles. Stop by your local pro shop today and get your optimum Idol pearl. It's well worth it!!

Review:
The Roto Grip Optimum Idol Pearl is a must-have for bowlers looking for a ball that can handle medium to medium-heavy oil with versatility and power. Its ability to clear the heads and store energy for a sharp backend motion makes it a reliable option for both league and tournament play. Bowlers will appreciate how it performs on fresh oil as well as its ability to handle the transition, making it a valuable addition to any arsenal.

Another winner in the Idol line. Drilled it 50x4.5x30.  One of the strongest pearls I've thrown. Reads the midlane like all of the Idols do for me. The pearl gives it some more length and shape down lane.

This one is everything I expected from an Idol Pearl. Extremely strong in the back part of the lane and definitely picks up in the middle part of the lane. It can easily be a game 1 ball on most house shots. I drilled mine 5x4x1 and it does tend to get a little forward at times down the lane due to the strength of the core (2.47 RG and .056 differential), but easily scoots through the first 25-30 feet with ease. A versatile piece, I would say best for at least speed/rev matched players, or speed dominant, Rev dominant players may struggle keeping this one on the lane. Overall a great complement to the Optimum Idol!
