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™ Pearl Coverstock wrapped around the outside, this beaut is definitely like using a cheat code on the lanes.
Due to the overwhelming success and popularity of the first Optimum IDOL™, we felt it was a must to spin it forward with a version that perfectly complements it. Not to mention this marks the first time ever we have introduced an IDOL Series ball in the domestic market with our nanoparticle pearl coverstock formula.
ON THE INSIDE… just like the Optimum IDOL you will find the Ikon + A.I. Core Technology.
ON THE OUTSIDE… you will find the MicroTrax™ Pearl Reactive coverstock (most recently used on the Exotic GEM™) which provides the optimum traction footprint in oil while providing plenty of responsiveness to friction down lane.

First time out House I shot a 710 with the ball first game was low game to 215 in a second. I got locked in 247 and 243. For all types of bowlers I’m down and in will be trying to excel next week after getting it drilled, clean and superb performance ball.
This one is everything I expected from an Idol Pearl. Extremely strong in the back part of the lane and definitely picks up in the middle part of the lane. It can easily be a game 1 ball on most house shots. I drilled mine 5x4x1 and it does tend to get a little forward at times down the lane due to the strength of the core (2.47 RG and .056 differential), but easily scoots through the first 25-30 feet with ease. A versatile piece, I would say best for at least speed/rev matched players, or speed dominant, Rev dominant players may struggle keeping this one on the lane. Overall a great complement to the Optimum Idol!
The Optimum Idol Pearl from Roto Grip is one of the newest releases in the HP3 line and it’s been a staple in my bag since it came out. With its bright pink MicroTrax pearl coverstock and AI core as the engine, the Optimum Idol Pearl continues to pull its weight alongside the previous Idol. With an RG of 2.47 and differential of .056, this ball wants to dig early, often, but also never slow down. I’ve drilled one so far and really like it. It’s mapped out as 5.5 x 4 x 2.5. This puts the pin nearly above my middle finger with a kicked CG. I’ve had the most success after a pattern blends out and I need something to create a left-to-right shape. Even though it’s lower on the RG scale (2.47), the beauty with that pearl coverstock, is that it still gets through the front of the lane pretty easily without bogging down. It’s been a perfect ball to go to after my Ion Max as well as my Summit Ascent need to be put down. From a surface standpoint, the Optimum Idol Pearl has been really good with some lane-shine. I haven’t touched the surface at all and have had no issues. If you start to see too quick of a response time or any type of inconsistent reaction, I’d recommend changing the surface to 2000 or 3000 on a spinner at your local pro shop. Go drill one!
