Chris Beans Bowler's Rant
New Overseas Roto Grip Bowling Balls April 2021 | RST X-1 Squad & Idol Purple
Early 2021 New Bowling Ball Releases for Radical Bowling Technologies
Chris Beans of Bowlers Rant breaks down the new overseas Roto Grip bowling ball releases.
RST X1 Squad bowling ball
Behind the X-1 name…
When it all began back in the early 1950’s, Roto Star (later known as Roto Grip) quickly became known as the “High Performance Bowling Ball Specialists.”
Because of this industry leading mantra, and with the latest creation of the Roto Star Tour Core, it only made sense to go back in time to recapture the vibe and pay homage to those balls that set the standard for technology and development.
That is how the RST X-1 was born!

Bottom line, in the HP3 line we have been looking for the next generation of Haywire. Needless to say, the new IDOL is that and then some. You will see a similar motion in the midlane compared to the Haywire, but with the new core and new cover you will see more overall hook.
