So don’t just sit there and admire from afar, make a difference in your game and in the lives of others, visit your local VIP Pro Shop and add one to your bag today.

Dynamic power to the core, the symmetrical Mentor™ Core was built to produce plenty of positive motion. From its mushroom/bulb shape structure to the heavy density flip puck on bottom, (to give it extra giddy up) this part was constructed to deliver added forgiveness in the back part of the midlane and down lane where you need and want it most. To be perfectly honest, this latest addition to the HP3 family of cores was erected and developed from the inspiration of the Madcap™ Core numbers (DareDevil™ Series) from yesteryear. It’s ok, you can thank them later.

This coverstock technology is a banger regarding performance in the pearlized category . Featuring a 100% nanoparticle load dispersed evenly throughout, this pearlized concoction provides traction and response to friction while maintaining its surface profile over a longer period of time to ensure you get maximum performance each and every time. For the record, the pearl version of MicroTrax displaces oil at the highest rate of any of the pearl covers RG offers today. Basically, as their token of appreciation and thanks to you, they gift you added forgiveness on those not-so-great shots off your hand.

Roto Grip Idol Pearl Bowling Ball

Because you can never have too much of a good thing, the Ikon Core has changed the way everyone looks at the HP3 line. The low RG symmetrical shape with high differential not only provides plenty of flare throughout the lane, it also provides superb motion down lane and through the pins.
With the original IDOL showcasing a solid cover built for heavy oil, we knew we needed something to compliment it. After a couple rounds of testing various pearl materials, we finally dialed in combination of the footprint in oil and responsiveness to friction. That is how the eTrax-P18 Pearl Reactive coverstock was born.
Hands down, this is the best pearlized ball we have ever created in the HP3 line to date. Between the core and cover, this ball will take down almost any condition you want to throw it on. Ideal for those Medium to Medium/Heavy conditions with some friction visible, this ball provides superb performance from almost any angle on the lane. And just like any pearl ball, it can be sanded to battle a bit more oil if need be.
