Just bought a Roto-Grip Clone and love the ball. Just like the Idol, it was straighter. Took the shine down with a 2000 grit pad and got more hook through medium oil conditions. By the third game in league play it starts to forget how to hook.
Is it good for the first game? As much as everyone hates to hear it, it depends. It depends on your style and the house you’re bowling in. As a general rule, yes, it would help you dig through the oil in the first game and help you control the back ends. I haven’t thrown the Optimum Idol in direct comparison of them but there are some significant differences. While they all have very similar RG values, the Differential on the Ion Pro is much lower than the Idol. The Phaze 2 is less than three Idol, but much closer. The Microtrax coverstock on the Idol is much stronger coverstock than the TX-16 cover (Hybrid on the Ion Pro and Solid on the Phaze 2)
The Optimum Idol is a dangerous ball. I’ve been racking up 250+ games since I got it a month ago.
You do very good video, I love your video don't stop
Thank you so much!

So, how do we deal with such situation? Do we change balls? Throw straight?
Put a shine on mine last night rolled a 269 high game and a 694 series. Love my idol
Like you content but lighten up on the background music.
How does this compare to the ion pro and phase II? For leauge play house shot is this good for the first game.
