Roto Grip Gremlin

Roto Grip Gremlin Sometimes, the best results come from letting the R&D team experiment freely—and that’s exactly how the Roto Grip Gremlin was born. The latest addition to the HP3 line, this ball is the result of pushing boundaries and unleashing a bit of controlled chaos. By maximizing the densities of both the core and the slug, the Roto Grip team achieved higher RG and Differential values, while slightly lowering the asymmetry. The result? A cleaner, more angular motion downlane than anything seen from this core shape before. But the mischief didn’t stop there. To match the core’s dynamic motion, a brand-new pearlized coverstock: V-R1™ (Versatile-Response, Version 1) was developed. Designed for enhanced skid and explosive backend reaction, this cover brings a new level of versatility and responsiveness to the lane. Get ready for a ball that’s as unpredictable as it is powerful. The Gremlin doesn’t just play—it plays to win.

Bowlers love the Gremlin's hard hook on heavy oil, sharp backend snap, and clean front-end glide that saves energy for big moves. It forgives transitions, fits all styles from rev-dominant to speed-dominant, and delivers instant score boosts like 227 games on fresh patterns. Overall, it's a versatile beast that crushes medium to heavy conditions and fills arsenal gaps perfectly.

What a great ball

This ball is phenomenal. I’m usually a motiv person but decided to take a chance on the gremlin because it looks awesome and it looked like it would fit in my bag. I’m very impressed with this ball, it hooks hard and is a pocket magnet. Right out of the box I threw a 227 which isn’t normal for me at all.
