Roto Grip Idol Helios Bowling Ball | BowlerX Full Uncut Review with JR Raymond

[@Mikey-1990]

As someone who's religiously used the og Idol for the past three years, I can tell you right now they were listening when we said we want it back. This new version is even more versatile, which is impressive enough that they somehow made it even better. Both my sport and house shot leagues I can back out of it playing straighter, or really get around it moving into the pattern and it just doesn't quit. It goes through the pins extremely well and delivers excellent carry. If you were a fan of the Idol, this is for sure a suitable replacement.

[@ptorres928]

Just ordered it over the weekend ! RG was listening to our prayers and we have a better idol for it.

[@Redsox3600]

I've been hearing that this ball is cleaner through the heads than the original Idol. Great Video as always!

[@Soullessdad]

This man makes me buy so many bowling balls lol

[@AndrewWarrenPatriotsfan]

This ball is very impressive. My guy at my bowling center at the pro shop was telling me about the Roto Grip Idol Helios. He told me that if I want that ball I have to start going left more. It's the ball I was thinking having my bag soon. If I was not living in the Boston area and live in Michigan I would go see you for sure.

[@racincowboy86]

How do you think this idol will compare to the blue IQ tour? That’s my current benchmark ball but that orange ball is very appealing!

[@sportsfntc]

For someone like me who likes to play straight and if I pull the phaze iii a little in the oil and get the hydroplane effect, would this help?

[@prestonkovarsky4972]

This is what I’ve been waiting for. I love my OG Idol, it’s my highest scoring series ball, but I can tell she’s starting to get a little tired. The Helios is what I’ve been waiting for.

[@newcenturygoldllc9253]

Love your video's. I like the versatility of your game.

[@nickpressley6166]

I have the idol Helios and the original idol that kris Prather uses both bowling balls are very good

[@michaelellan956]

I just bought it today. Love the reaction and power when it hits

[@amarrbryant5571]

Are you gonna review the new rubicon as well

[@upstatebassing3437]

Hey JR, I know this is an older review but was wondering if you could compare this ball to the original web tour. I'm about to drill a helios and am doing the same layout as my web tour. Im hoping to see it be stronger overall but still that silky smooth roll!!

[@jasonsiegel3869]

Hey JR, what's it mean when u say " Get my hand around it"..? I'm a bit new and trying to learn the jargon.. so a little help buddy😸 Jason from Florida

[@joshg218]

Is this a good benchmark ball?

[@mcdowec.2020]

This vs Columbia power torq would be nice

[@richardgandia5700]

JR, I have the Power Torque, Knock Out and Melee Midnight which I am averaging 215+ with this ball when lanes dry out a little. Would you feel like this ball would fit in the bag somewhere or just give me an additional option to go to ? Thank you for your opinion

[@jerryhollon6153]

Usually all about the Motiv, but I just picked this Helios up from BowlerX for $117 !!!! (Had a 10% off coupon code) - Before this beauty is gone! Got her punched-up at 50 x 4 1/2 x 30 and headed out tonight to see how she looks. Pretty excited to see how she stacks up against the others in my bag. I really want to see what she looks like against the good ol' Shock ;)

[@paulb4259]

How does it compare to your shock?

[@jerryhollon6153]

@@paulb4259 If the Helios is coming up just a little short where I want to play, I can usually stay put and pick up the Shock (Pin Down) and it takes up the slack

[@Zudoarichidoari]

Do you know how this would compare to the Power Torq?

[@hughcarr6535]

Helious or phase 2 my credit card is waiting 😆 ? For house shot typically with few tournaments a year

[@accordracer619]

what drill did u do? just curious if it was 4x4x2?

[@kylespadine9729]

Looks like an eruption and rolls like the pink idol, love it. Idol was one of my favorite balls. Picking up my Helios today. Good timing since I noticed my phase 2 is starting to get stress crack around the fingers. How do you think the compares to the phase and the hyroad max?

[@addii578]

Do you happen to flare over your finger holes?

[@chadhusted3251]

The Helios looked really good going down the lane! Might have to put it on my list, along with all the others that I want lol 😂 Thanks again JR for another great ball review! 😊

[@iamatrashcan5614]

Would a slower and lower rev rate bowler still be able to bowl with this one? Or would you say it’s way too big and not feasible? Looking for a strong symmetrical ball in my Arsenal

[@addii578]

I know I'm not JR, but I think the idol fits for anyone personally. I bought my original idol used off my buddy. He's an older guy, not a whole lot of speed and lower Rev rate. He said he didn't like it because he couldn't get much out of the ball.

[@roguegeek]

When I see this ball go down the lane and I hear people I trust talking about it, it sounds like they’re talking about the Axiom. How would you compare it with the Axiom?

[@addii578]

Pretty sure JR pro shop has a video with either the original idol or the helios compared to the axiom pearl

[@ParkerMiller300]

I have one and it does look better than playing straight

[@googleuser7662]

Love the videos, thank you

[@cameronmorgan0203]

That’s an amazing ball 👍🏾🔥

[@brandooo-_-]

I want this ball so bad omg

[@scottythompson940]

Cool video talk to tech bowling ball roto grip helois more strike and spares hitting power

[@TheSilverbolt709]

Looks like the old Piranha from Columbia 300

[@shorty808100]

I miss the idol pearl

[@dylanharris6081]

That lane looks dry has no oil or no gloss to make it look like it has oil on it

[@mikecurtis3694]

JR, I noticed people ask you questions and most of the times you never answer unless they say something you don't like. Why can't you answer all questions.

[@denmanfite3156]

This seems almost exactly like my Beyond Ridiculous that I threw last night. It's a great looking ball and definitely an interesting one but I think it's too much of the same for what I already have.

[@petetoemmes6673]

You're gonna need a bigger bag.

[@davidwhite478]

Nice looking ball but hard to beat a storm iq tour

[@Brian_B300]

They are miles apart though. Not a fair comparison

[@michaelhertzog7093]

Cores are completely different but okay....
