Are you a straighter player with low revs? And do you like to play straighter lines and angles? Then pay close attention because the RST Hyperdrive by Roto Grip is a perfect fit for your arsenal! Roto Grip has done a superb job of combining the RST + A.I. core with their MicroTrax Solid reactive coverstock to make the RST Hyperdrive a ball for straighter players to get excited about! So, let's take a closer look at the brilliance behind the RST Hyperdrive!
The RST (Roto Star Tour) + A.I. core is an excellent combination of torque, explosive energy, and strong continuation. I liked how the RST block inside the A.I. technology created an intense and persistent torque off my hand and down the lane. Unlike other asymmetric cores that tend to be lazy and rev later, I like how the RST core was vibrant in the mid-lane and kept building its energy as it headed down the lane. And with the addition of the A.I. Core wrapped around the RST block, there is no stopping the RST Hyperdrive! I loved how the combination of RST + A.I. core technology gave my straighter hand the explosive and striking impact at the pins I can count on. And when my low rev hand is kicking out corner pins from that steamrolling continuation the RST Hyperdrive provided, I know I am in for a great night of scoring! So, the RST + A.I. Core is an excellent fit for straighter players.
The MicroTrax Solid Reactive coverstock perfectly complements the RST + A.I. Core. It brings the RST Hyperdrive to a whole new level of striking power! Being a rev-challenged player, the coverstock on a ball can make or break my game, especially in medium to heavy oil conditions. However, with the MicroTrax solid reactive cover, there was no doubt that the MicroTrax solid and the factory 2000-grit Abralon surface would bring excellent results. The MicroTrax solid cut through the front part of the lane crisply yet had smooth and predictable traction in the mid-lane. Surprisingly, I loved how the MicroTrax solid responds to friction with a continuous, assertive bite without being so overly aggressive that it causes the ball to roll out. Lastly, as a straighter player, I liked how the MicroTrax Solid gave me the confidence to stay in my A-game for most of the night. So, if you're a straighter player, the MicroTrax solid coverstock is an excellent choice for game one and even game two on a THS, depending on your speed and rev rate. And suppose you're thinking about trying or dabbling with pattern bowling. In that case, the MicroTrax Solid reactive coverstock makes the RST Hyperdrive a great choice.
In closing, I was highly impressed with the RST Hyperdrive by Roto Grip. And there is no question -Roto Grip is undoubtedly keeping the legacy of their RST line alive with the RST Hyperdrive! The RST Hyperdrive is an excellent combination of RST + A.I. core and MicroTrax coverstock that will complement any straighter player's arsenal. So, if you're a straighter player looking for that first game ball to get you striking on medium to heavy oil conditions, the RST Hyperdrive is a great first choice!
