Roto Grip Rock Star
« on: February 11, 2025, 08:22:33 PM »
With Roto Grip’s discontinuing the Optimum Idol from the HP3 line, we were left wondering what the replacement would be. Look no farther than the ROCK STAR! The Rock Star features the all new Rocker AI Core and NanoStar Solid cover. I decided to drill mine 4.5 x 4 and after throwing this ball for awhile and watching others throw it, I know this is going to be a huge hit. It has the similar overall strength as the Optimum Idol and Phase 2 but has a little more shape down lane than those balls. The Optimum Idol is my favorite ball in my bag and goes with me to every tournament and I find that the Rock Star is the perfect ball down for me from it and is more of a benchmark ball in the line. If you are looking a benchmark ball with a little more shape down lane than a Phaze 2 or just a replacement for the Optimum Idol, pick up the Rock Star today and get your rock on !

Dual Angle Layout: 60 x 4 ½ x 30

The Roto Grip Rock Star features the Nano Star Solid reactive cover stock wrapped around the Rocker+ AI Core.  This ball is a hook monster. It comes out of the box at 2000 grit Abralon which was too much for me on a typical house shot.  I took the surface up to 3000 on a spinner and this ball really shined.  The surface change gave the ball the length I needed to get through the heads and when this ball hit the pocket it sounded like an explosion, this ball hits like a truck.  Another great ball from the Roto Grip line of products.

Roto Grip Rockstar - HP3
Coverstock: NanoStar Solid - 2000 Abralon
Core: Rocker A.I.
RG: 2.48   Differential: .050 (15 lbs)
Layout: 5.25 x 5 x 3
PAP: 6" Right, 1 3/8" Up
Axis Tilt: 16°
Rotation: 51°
Rev Rate: 450-500
Speed: 17-18 mph
Location: Vista Lanes - Yorkville, NY

Let’s get ready to ROCK! The Rockstar utilizes the new NanoStar solid cover and Rocker symmetric core with A.I. technology. The Rockstar will provide a smooth reaction for both league and tournament bowlers on medium to heavy conditions. This benchmark ball will help you make the best decisions and it can be easily sanded/shined to create the best reaction possible.
The Rockstar gave me a great look sliding on 25, looking 15 at the arrows with my breakpoint around 7-8. I was able to play multiple angles by changing my speed and hand position. It also did an excellent job blending out the wet/dry on our high friction house pattern. When compared to the Optimum Idol Pearl, it was earlier and rounder with more overall hook. The Rockstar feels very similar to the Optimum Idol, but a touch cleaner with more continuation. It will be one of the first balls out of my bag no matter what condition I’m bowing on. I’ve had great success with solid HP3 balls from Roto Grip in the past and can’t wait to put the Rockstar to the test in league and tournaments. The Rockstar will fit below the Xcell and above the Optimum Idol Pearl. Stop by your local Storm VIP pro shop to check it out! Available on February 21.
