Game-Changer Alert! Roto Grip Optimum Idol Reviewed!

Roto Grip Optimum Idol Review. Storm Regional Staffer Andrew Halvorson gives us an in-depth run down on Roto Grip's latest catalog release, the Optimum Idol! This ball packs a punch and is going to be a great seller this season. Available March 22nd, 2024 a pro shop near you!
Tough patterns. Easy patterns. Issues with fresh over reacting backends. Struggles on transition. We say BRING IT ON! Between the original Ikon™ block encapsulated with A.I. Core Technology, and our MicroTrax™ Solid Coverstock wrapped around the outside, this beaut is definitely like using a cheat code on the lanes. And there is no doubt this combo of core and cover will increase the confidence and playability for bowlers of all skill levels on a variety of lane conditions.

Always love Andrews reviews. Wonderful video :)

[@aydenyepez6566]

I loved the review I would of really liked the see the OG idol roll down the lane once or twice since you have it. 😅

[@RichardHalvorson-gr3eo]

It is thrown in the raw shots at the end of the video along with a Phaze 2. The Optimum is slightly earlier and overall more hook but very similar shape to the original.

[@a2handedskittle]

Maybe there's a video completely dedicated to comparing the 2 coming soon...

[@Wspre_]

But just like bowlersRant said the ball is just old we have to look at the optimum as a new ball alone and review it

[@RichardHalvorson-gr3eo]

As a pro shop operator, I can assure you that this ball has a lot of buzz and almost everyone wants to know how it compares to the original Idol. And an original Idol and a Phaze 2 (which is a current symmetrical solid) was thrown in raw shots for comparison.

Yo fam, I’m trynna not go to grips man. I bowl conventional fingers and my middle finger gets swollen a lot now. Any tip or this as I do see you wrap yours a lot. How do you recommend me just trying to go into grips. I don’t have sweaty hands and I’ve always liked the feel of the ball with conventional , but when it gets down to having a bowl a tournament with the swollen finger the bowl becomes finger tip for me and I know that not a good thing at all. I also really love the sound of the fingers popping out of the ball when you release it right …it’s just something about that sound!

I’m sure Andrew and his dad will get back to you on this! They will have some solutions for sure. :)

[@RichardHalvorson-gr3eo]

Andrew isn't full conventional but it is close. He doesn't have any issues unless long multi day tournaments then he has issues with the middle finger. That's why that one is taped. For prevention. He also uses 1/2" white tape in the ball in both fingers. The norm is 2 pieces in the middle finger and 1 on the ring. If his fingers are swelling he can remove tape and if they are down he can add.

[@RichardHalvorson-gr3eo]

Finger pitch also comes into play. Make sure you have enough reverse pitch to clear the ball quick and clean also. With conventional I would say at least 1/4 reverse or more depending on flexibility.

Thanks for the help on this!! 🌟🌟🌟

[@jago07]

[@expvsed4766]

its a ball review the guy is gonna say his opinion on the bowling ball lol...

[@a2handedskittle]

Considering this is the most anticipated release of the year by far, was simply trying to give as much information on the ball and talk people through my thoughts on it best I could. Sorry.
