Dark Star

Value and Performance have always been synonymous with the Roto Grip brand, and the all new Dark Star stands to continue that tradition.

Our first goal was to develop a stronger Shield Line ball to fit into the Roto Grip line. The team felt that there was too big of a gap between the Nomads and the Planet series balls. The intent was to create more mid-lane read with stronger backend motion, so we developed the Photon Core with a lower RG value and a higher differential.

To enhance this core motion we also added the Ultimate Vision pearl coverstock to this ball. This performance proven coverstock found on the Epic and Illusion series of balls. It boasts a higher coefficient of friction and surface texture for added traction in the oil and superior backend performance.

This combination of core and coverstock was the ideal fit into the line. Our tests showed that it filled the gap between the Nomads and the Planet series balls perfectly.

The Roto Grip shield line has always been known for amazing performance for affordable prices, and this time they’ve raised the bar without raising the price! The Roto Grip Dark Star is currently selling for $89.99 and is rated at a 168.4 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale™!

Riot

At Roto Grip we pride ourselves in providing a complete line of bowling balls in both value and performance.

The recent introduction of the Dark Star created a nice compliment for those medium to drier patterns, but we still needed a strong solid reactive in the Shield Line for those patterns with a bit more volume up front.

The Riot is just what the kingdom ordered. The utilization of the Ultimate Vision solid reactive coverstock is the key to this addition. The increased surface topography and greater coefficient of friction battles those medium to heavier volume patterns with fierce intensity.

The Photon core delivers the energy behind the Riot. This newly designed medium RG (2.58) and medium differential (.040) core creates greater mid-lane read and increased entry angle to the pocket than its predecessors in the Planet series.

It's time to start your Riot in the Bowling Kingdom!

Roto Grip continues to add necessary pieces to their arsenal, and as always with the Shield line you’re getting unbelievable performance at an amazing price. The Roto Grip Riot is currently selling for $87.99 and is rated at a 170.5 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale™!

Bowling Shoes

Whether you’re an experienced tournament bowler, or someone just starting to bowl, having your own shoes is at the top of the list of things you need. If you’re bowling tournaments or leagues in different houses, being prepared to slide on any type of surface is so important. And, if you’re just starting, having your own shoes is imperative so you can learn to have consistency with your approach every time you bowl. And plus, who wants to play 4 or 5 dollars every time you hit the lanes?

The Dexter Men's SST 8 White/Black and Dexter Women's SST 8 SE are the ultimate in bowling shoe technology. Interchangeable heels and soles on both feet will enable you to slide the same amount in any bowling alley you come across!

Men's SST 8 White/Black

Some great shoes for beginning bowlers are the Dexter Women's Andie, Dexter Men's Ricky II White and Dexter Youth Cranium Jr.!

The newest addition the the Roto Grip Cell line of bowling balls is a freak of nature! The Roto Grip Mutant Cell expands on the success of the original Cell Series by introducing the Nucleus II Core. The Nucleus II Core takes the original Nucleus Core and removes mass from the axes to create a higher mass bias differential to have an earlier revving ball for heavier volumes, but still save enough energy for the backend to ensure Roto Grip’s world renowned hit and carry.

Mutant Cell

The Roto Grip Mutant Cell carries a 217.5 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale™, making this the most aggressive ball Roto Grip has ever created! It’s time to take the freak off the leash and let it loose on your competition!
