Roto Grip Ultimate Wrecker Bowling Ball

Roto Grip has officially unleashed the Ultimate Wrecker, finally filling that critical HP2 gap in their lineup! This isn't just a comeback; it's an evolution. It features an updated Wrecker core with the revolutionary AI Outer Core. My 14-pound version boasts a high 2.59 RG and a 0.046 differential, wrapped in the enhanced Pure Response Hybrid coverstock (a souped-up version of the VTC found on the Hustle and Hyped lines). Having heard tales of the original Wrecker line - especially the Wreck-Em, my anticipation for the Ultimate Wrecker was sky-high. My first few throws on a used house shot, however, were a head-scratcher; the ball seemed to sail endlessly, refusing to drive through the pins as expected. A quick surface adjustment—a light scuff with a 1500 Tru-Cut pad—transformed it into exactly what I expected to see. This minor tweak brought the reaction closer, slowed the ball down exactly when needed, and finally started kicking the 10 pins out. This experience is a powerful reminder: don't let initial reactions define your ball. A simple chat with your pro shop operator can unlock the true potential of your equipment, possibly turning frustration into your new favorite ball.

The Roto Grip H2 Line is back!!! Roto Grip introduces a new look to an old classic. The new Ultimate Wrecker features the Wrecker AI core wrapped in Pure Response Hybrid coverstock finished with Power Edge. At 15 pounds the RG is 2.54 and the differential is .045. I drilled mine 4x4x2 which puts the pin above my middle finger. This ball fills a huge void in my bag. It is a nice bridge from my high-performance symmetrical balls to my higher RG skid/flip reaction balls. The Ultimate Wrecker allows me to close my angles and stay closer to the dry than the stronger bowling balls. The coverstock provides excellent length even through burnt up heads. The backend reaction is a controlled arcing finish which provides great pin action and helps avoid those big ugly splits. This ball will be a must have for tournament bowlers and will be useful to many styles on many different lane conditions. We knew we missed the H2 line, but we didn’t realize just how much we missed it until we threw the Ultimate Wrecker. Don’t miss your chance at what is sure to be the sleeper release of the summer.

The new Ultimate Wrecker from Roto Grip is easily my favorite league ball right now. The versatility is unmatched. It's enough ball for fresh oil if my angles are a little straighter, and then the reaction only gets better as the night goes on and the track area develops and I can move left and open up. I drilled mine on the strong side with a 4x4x2, this way the clean cover and medium strength core don't miss the breakpoint if I happen to throw it less than stellar. The higher RG of 2.54 and medium differential of .045 allow this ball to continue through the pin deck quite convincingly, which everyone likes to see. I see this one being a great choice for multiple styles of players due to how many things this ball does and does very well. Absolutely a fantastic choice for league!

The Roto Grip Ultimate Wrecker, with its striking gold and red pearl cover, blends eye-catching looks with impressive performance on medium oil patterns. Featuring an RG of 2.54 and a differential of 0.045, it offers a strong mid-lane roll and angular backend reaction, making it more dynamic than the newer Roto Grip Hustles. While the Hustles provide smoother, more controlled motion ideal for lighter oil and beginners, the Ultimate Wrecker delivers a stronger overall hook and better continuation for bowlers seeking more aggression downlane.

That’s right, after a brief hiatus, we felt there was no better time than now to resurrect and revitalize this gap in our product line. We saw the posts, we heard the cries, we read the messages, we heard the yells, we jotted down the in-person requests. You SPOKE; we LISTENED! From the start we knew that to make the HP2 Line great again, we had to re-imagine what the overall performance from this line of balls should react like. And trust us when we say that this was not an easy task. Multiple bowling styles and countless tests paved the way to our final decision to bring back and modify this legend to battle the conditions and beat up lane surfaces of today. Trust us, you won’t be disappointed! So, whether you need something a bit stronger than your favorite Hustle, or you need a good step-down ball from your more aggressive higher end stuff, this wrecking ball has you covered. From the PURE-Response Hybrid coverstock to the Wrecker + AI Core on the inside, this ball checks all the boxes. Versatility – CHECK!... Clean through the heads – CHECK!... Reaction down lane – CHECK!... Style & Appeal – CHECK! Trust us when we say YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR BAG! My Review: Layout was strictly for game 2 - 3 on the quicker league transition. The hybrid cover with the new Power Edge polish gave it the cleaner path to the breakpoint and the stroinger angular motion I required. The Ultimate Wrecker is a tamer Storm Journey and slightly earlier than my Revenant with the same layouts. The Amplified Inertia "A.I." core gives it better carry on light hits and predictability. After 25 games I have the confidence in using the UW more on THS patterns. Feels real comfortable in playing the track area as a tweener and getting left if need be. Slimilar shape as my UC2 but with a bolder motion. As always cover is surface change friendly, but I prefer the OOB polish version. The Ultimate Wrecker is ready to replace or add to your league and tournament arsenal. Visit Bowlersmart @Bowlero Tampa or your local VIP Proshop today #SquadRG #stormnation

The newest addition to the HP2 RG Line is the Ultimate Wrecker. I was a huge fan of the original Wrecker. So when RG Schlem decided to bring it back I was pretty excited. Same original Wrecker Core with AI technology and a PURE-Response Hybrid Reactive cover. I drilled mine 4.75 x 4 x 1.75 pin above middle finger. I have only got to use the Wrecker on our House Shot. I was forced a little left on the fresh as the backend motion was pretty strong, not flippy just a hard arcing motion. But it gives me that good medium Roto Grip motion, where it reads the midlane and continues through the pins. Its a great compliment to the Rock Star as when it starts to labor a little. The Ultimate Wrecker is still stronger than the IQ's series, Hyroads, and Zen 25 to me. But beneath the Rock Star, Phaze 2, and the bigger Asymmetrical bowling balls. Great Addition to the RG Line!

Roto Grip Ultimate Wrecker I've been in the pro shop business since 2006, and the original Wrecker is probably in the top 3 top selling balls I've ever had in the shop, so seeing the Wrecker name return is a very welcome sight. The original Wrecker was a menace on medium-light oil conditions, which is what I essentially see out of the Ultimate, though I do think the Ultimate is stronger overall. The Ultimate gets through the fronts very easily, but picks up in the midlane enough to handle medium oil patterns. Overall, the versatility of this ball to handle both medium and medium-light oil patterns makes it a great ball to have in your arsenal. I do consider this ball to have a slightly bigger overall footprint than the other recent Storm release, the Typhoon.

Review by Nicholas Hogan on the Ultimate Wrecker The Ultimate Wrecker starts to pick up a little in the mids for me and has a pretty good violent reaction. If that is something you are looking for this is definitely your ball. This ball really isn’t for me. I don’t match up with it but I definitely have some niche spots where I can use it. Hybrids and I don’t get along and the pattern has to be something pretty special for me to pull a hybrid ball out. I just have a weird tilt and how I throw the ball typically goes pretty forward. That being said, I believe people will love the shape of this ball, when the lanes are a little beat up from play, this one will wreck right through it.

Roto Grip Ultimate Wrecker Ball Review Layout-4.75x3.5x1.25(VLS) Surface-Poweredge RG-2.54 Differential-.045 Symmetrical Core Roto Grip has brought back the Wrecker to the lineup using the orginal wrecker core with AI Techology wrapped with the new Pure Response Hybrid Coverstock.The Ultimate Wrecker is going to be a great option on medium lane conditions with a clean motion through the midlane with a strong backend motion. The Ulimate Wrecker is going to fill a void in the Roto Grip lineup between the HP3 and HP1 series balls. I feel like the Wrecker will be a great option when my Rockstar is reading to early and i need more backend and the Pearl Hustle's aren't strong enough. Roto Grip Ultimate Wrecker is available now!!!!!!!!!

The Wrecker is FINALLY back!! Even before i threw Storm equipment, I knew this one matched up well to me. This is the perfect example of a clean benchmark-type medium ball. Like other mid-RG mid-Diff symmetrical balls, the Ultimate Wrecker goes a few feet longer and transitions a little more smoothly, but unlike those other balls, the Ultimate Wrecker REALLY continues through the pins. Comparable balls for me tend to get lopey/tumbly downlane, but the Ultimate Wrecker never quits hooking. This ball has been great for me on medium/blended friction, and with so many centers now having so much built-in friction, this ball is a must-have for me in the middle of my bag. -Chase Valenzuela
