Roto Grip Riot

The Roto Grip Riot is the newest addition to Roto Grip Shield line of ball and is schedule for release on February 24, 2010.

At Roto Grip we pride ourselves in providing a complete line of bowling balls in both value and performance.

The recent introduction of the Dark Star created a nice compliment for those medium to drier patterns, but we still needed a strong solid reactive in the Shield Line for those patterns with a bit more volume up front.

The Riot is just what the kingdom ordered. The utilization of the Ultimate Vision solid reactive coverstock is the key to this addition. The increased surface topography and greater coefficient of friction battles those medium to heavier volume patterns with fierce intensity.

The Photon core delivers the energy behind the Riot. This newly designed medium RG (2.58) and medium differential (.040) core creates greater mid-lane read and increased entry angle to the pocket than its predecessors in the Planet series.

It's time to start your Riot in the Bowling Kingdom!

The Roto Grip Riot is currently selling for $87.99 on bowlingball.com and rates a 170.5 on the Perfect Scale.

Roto Grip Dark Star

The Roto Grip Dark Star is the newest addition to Roto Grip Shield line of ball and is schedule for release on February 24, 2010.

Value and Performance have always been synonymous with the Roto Grip brand, and the all new Dark Star stands to continue that tradition.

Our first goal was to develop a stronger Shield Line ball to fit into the Roto Grip line. The team felt that there was too big of a gap between the Nomads and the Planet series balls. The intent was to create more mid-lane read with stronger backend motion, so we developed the Photon Core with a lower RG value and a higher differential.

To enhance this core motion we also added the Ultimate Vision pearl coverstock to this ball. This performance proven coverstock found on the Epic and Illusion series of balls. It boasts a higher coefficient of friction and surface texture for added traction in the oil and superior backend performance.

This combination of core and coverstock was the ideal fit into the line. Our tests showed that it filled the gap between the Nomads and the Planet series balls perfectly.

The Roto Grip Dark Star is currently selling for $87.99 on bowlingball.com and rates a 168.4 on the Perfect Scale.

Lane #1 Curve

The Lane #1 Curve will allow you to open up the lane. With the particle pearl cover this ball will allow you to play more in the oil.

This hot mamma is a beauty with all new skin and bones. The skin is a heart pumping Pure Explosion 9.5 on the Richter scale. This curvatious body is built with a strong bone structure deep within that bulges out to one side. As you roll this ball over, all you can see is the enormous backend this beauty has.

Simply put, this ball hooks the most.

P.S. Remember... Nothing cuts through pins better than a Saw!!

The Lane #1 Curve is currently selling for $159.99 on bowlingball.com and rates a 221.9 on the Perfect Scale.

Manufacturer description of the new Brunswick C (System)3.5:

Chemical Friction Technology – Developed with Carmen Salvino, the Brunswick C (System)3.5 is the next evolution in Chemical Friction Technology.

Let the science of friction improve your game!

Coverstock
CFT 3.5 is the next evolution in Chemical Friction Technology. The CFT 3.5 coverstock has a higher friction factor than the original CFT 2.5, which quickens response time, improves down lane traction and increases the overall hook.

Core: I-Block
The new I-Block core was engineered specifically for the CFT 2.5 coverstock to create maximum forgiveness, strong entry angels along with versatile drilling layouts.

Reaction Characteristics
Ball Motion – With its 4000-grit micro pad finish, the Brunswick C (System)3.5 offers a higher friction factor and increased response time to friction alternative than the original C(System) 2.5. The new C(System)3.5 is best used on medium-oily to oily lane conditions when a quicker response motion is needed to increase entry angle to the pocket.

The Brunswick C (System)3.5 has a world wide release date scheduled for January 25, 2010

Ebonite Mission

The Ebonite Mission is going to be released on February 2, 2010.

The all new Ebonite Mission is the latest Ebonite High Performance Product. The Ebonite Mission is the most tested product the brand has ever released. With an array of styles and on the widest variety of lane conditions and surfaces available, the Mission has been thoroughly tested and is ready for launch.

The Ebonite Mission has a new core, Mission 1.0. The Mission 1.0 core design offers dynamic properties that all bowlers look for, Medium RG levels, Medium high differential with a strong intermediate mass bias potential. With our new cover, XL1200, we have worked very hard with our R & D Department in order to bring to market a cover that not only performs at a high level, but is able to maintain performance longer in the environments that we experience today. To assist us with achieving these performance criteria, we are using an all new finishing process, 500, 1000, 2000 Abralon Sanded. This procedure yields better performance, for a longer period of time.

Storm Reign of Fire

The Storm Reign of Fire registers a 198.5 on the Perfect Scale.

Tech Specs:

• COVERSTOCK: R2S™ Solid Reactive
• WEIGHT BLOCK: C.A.M.
• FACTORY FINISH: 1000-grit Abralon®
• BALL COLOR: Scarlet / Burnt Orange

Manufacturer description of the new Storm Reign of Fire:

The key to the Storm Reign of Fire is the utilization of the R2S™ solid reactive coverstock. From its inception, it has proven to be one of the most versatile coverstocks ever manufactured. With its strong surface profile and excellent friction characteristics it was the obvious choice for this latest release.

The fuel for the Fire so to speak is the C.A.M. ™ (Continuous Axis Migration) weight block. The combination of the unique contours along the weight block with the strategically placed weighted mass blocks deliver optimum mid-lane roll with volatile backend reaction.

Manufacturer description of the new Storm Invasion:

The Storm Invasion features the next generation of advancement in core and coverstock technology. Our first goal was to develop a strong asymmetrical design different than any other. The concept was to create contours along the RG planes to ensure a stronger preferred spin axis. We did this by developing intersecting contoured bands from the X-axis along the Y and Z axes. These bands are developed at specific arcs to maximize RG and differential values along the planes. In turn, this translates into a quicker revving core with a more defined moment of inertia or breakpoint unlike any prior design found on the market.

The all new Origin™ core boasts a 2.48 RG value with .057 total differential and a .017 intermediate differential. Using C.A.T.S., we tested the Origin™ core up against the Shape Lock™-HD core with same coverstock to see the differences, and we were amazed by the results. The Origin™ core started into the “hook” phase about 3 feet sooner and created a stronger entry angle to the pocket. Usually when we get the ball started into the “hook” phase sooner we see less entry angle to the pocket, but this core with the contoured bands along the RG planes definitely showed us something different.

The finishing touch to the Invasion™ is the R3X™ coverstock. This third generation of Reactor™ series coverstock has the highest Ra values ever produced by Storm products. Based on the USBC Ball Motion Study we know that higher Ra values produce more ball motion in the oil, and this coverstock is no exception. We saw a 9% increase in friction values in the oil and an increase of 5% down the lane over its predecessor R2X™ utilizing C.A.T.S. testing.
