Can it Live UP to the HYPE?? | Roto Grip Optimum IDOL

This has a lot of potential to be added to my bag. Now towards the end of the video I did notice some loss of carry mainly due how much this ball torched the lane. This definitely is a game one ball that handle some volume.

Honestly just through one at a demo day here in Charlotte NC, got 247 as soon as I picked it up, ordered one for myself immediately, there is no doubt this ball is extremely good 😊

[@user-gt1wr1vh3i]

Another nice one Charles! I like the comparisons. Good choices so we can get an idea of where tgis Optimum Idol will fit

[@rollingreene1220]

Great format - Really compact and informative

[@nicolelatvala4386]

I bought this ball and recently had my first block of 3 games +200 and I can’t say enough about how much I love this ball!!!

[@NewVisionLCS]

I can't wait to be able to toss my Phaze 2 like this! Im still working on my mechanics!

[@aleffel9668]

Need this vs raptor fury next. Loved my OG idol, definitely buying this one

[@moistyoyster2407]

Love the Idol series, but just so you know, your face was still commentating 😊😊

[@grillmaster95]

This idol looks good, but I'm really not sure it beats the phaze 2 in useability for the average houseshot. New phaze 2 already hooks too much for my houseshot. Idk if I really need something even stronger like the idol or summit

[@andrewweltlich9065]

You could always get one and drill it pin down to give you a different look.

[@Rybread84]

I agree. The idol series rolls amazing for me but if you don’t have the oil it might last only through the first game. I like to be able to use the same ball as long as possible. I vote phaze 2

[@CharlesCramblit-mm7ih]

Idol was never intended for house honestly. The average house bowler not buying the original idol is the only reason it was discontinued to begin with.. if the house bowlers aren’t buying it, they won’t keep it in the line. Don’t see this one lasting a long while either.

[@rb8999]

The average house shot has tons of friction, so your best options are generally balls like the Attention Star, Xponent Pearl, Hustles, Hypeds...etc

[@jeramiescott3364]

Idol pearl was my money ball. Always could depend on it to win some brackets in league.

[@christophererenberg1963]

Ball looks good. Even when you missed right it didn't leave you anything bad, makeables

[@CrazyBaker1969]

Like the no commentary... would rather hear the ball crunching logs than the music..Great content as always

[@superblitz]

Seems like it maybe close to the motiv primal shock, likely earlier but similar boards covered.

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Raptor primal Shock is way quicker off the dry boards

[@Ghettonasty1914]

What music is that playing? It's fire

[@mattzegarelli2753]

13:13 9th frame, after the split I saw you opened your shoulders and took your hand out of it and it still saw it and went 4 pin. Even with the music, we both said, "Wooooow" at the same time. This ball is good. I've been with SPI for 10+ years now and thrown about 3 different OG idols... This one's different. #Shirt You've got some great content going, really well done reviews!

[@TheHype-Bowling]

I appreciate the support and yeah this idol just needs to keep some surface on it. And it works like a charm.

[@machinethesun9243]

I'm curious this Idol compared to Stealth solid.

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Close.

[@hazalmohammed]

Any chance of a Sublime and Optimum Idol comparison?

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Probably not

[@machinethesun9243]

Sublime weaker cover and longer.

[@hersheljones9467]

Idol looks good can compare it to teal rhino pro

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Different ball park as far cores go. Unlikely to get that comparisons out.

[@shaneennis3833]

This vs the Summit??

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Possibly

[@badguykp3000]

i bought a phase 2 last week and i honestly don’t like it

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Out 10 games on it. Than tell me how it rolls

[@erikknudson3077]

hahha i dont think the og idol hooks like the new one.

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Never threw the og idol.
