Roto Grip RST Hyperdrive Pearl Bowling Ball

The Roto Grip RST Hyperdrive Pearl pairs the U-R1 Pearl Reactive coverstock with the RST + A.I. asymmetrical core and a Power Edge polished surface, creating a strong ball that is highly responsive to friction and delivers a sharp, aggressive move once it sees the dry. This makes it a reliable choice on medium to heavier oil and when you need strong backend motion. By comparison, the Gremlin is smoother and rounder off the spot, offering a more controlled shape and serving as a natural ball down from the Hyperdrive Pearl when lanes transition or dry out, making it the better option when the Hyperdrive becomes too much to handle.

No surprises its the pearl version of the very successful RST Hyperdrive. The RST X2 was a favorite of not only mine but many bowlers so I feel as though many of us were waiting for this one. The Hyperdrive Pearl again features the RST BLOCK + A.I. CORE TECHNOLOGY this time surrounded by a new clean pearl cover called UR1. No nano in this one its just a pure pearl. I tested the RST Hyperdrive Pearl on our 44 ft house pattern. I've mentioned in basically every review that our front panels hook a lot, so I was excited for a new pearl without nano additive. The test lane had been dressed before a morning senior league and I found it in transition. The Hyperdrive Pearl didn't have any issues clearing the front of the lane. It had a nice consistant move in the middle of the lane, rolling very nicely off the back-end of the pattern. It wasn't a super sharp motion, but definitely not slow either. I was pretty happy with how predictable it was. It didn't give me catastrophic results from small misses, which is welcome on a 12-1 pattern. I stayed in the hyperdrive for a few games. I had to do a little manipulation with my hand as I moved left, but no more than i would have expected to with any other ball, and far less than with some of them. I threw the Origin and Attention Star S2 at the same time. These turned out to be good choices for comparison as all three had pretty similar layouts. I could strike with all three in the same place but they had distinct motions down-lane. I felt I was pretty much as the limit of where the S2 would keep going through the pins and the Origin was a little more responsive so i had to be a little more careful with my speed. The Hyperdrive Pearl will be a popular ball this year I think. It's continuation and reliability should keep it in play on a variety of patterns.
