- Rubicon Attack

First Impressions
With the Rubicon Attack, Roto Grip brings a fascinating new development to the market that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Centripetal Core, which with a 2.49 RG and a 0.052 differential ensures a very clean motion through the front part of the lane. The pearl reactive cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The surface condition, with a 1500-grit polished finish, supports this characteristic massively by letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually it is a real eye-catcher and immediately conveys that this model was designed primarily for later and sharper direction changes. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Rubicon Attack with the Storm Hy-Road Pearl, the glaring differences in backend reaction stand out immediately. The Storm Hy-Road Pearl tends to read a bit earlier, while the Rubicon Attack holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. This characteristic makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Hy-Road Pearl starts to lose energy in the pocket or enter too flat. Although both balls have a similar orientation toward lighter oil patterns, this ball offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Hy-Road Pearl no longer develops sufficient drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength when the lane has already been played on a bit and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which delivers maximum, explosive carry. As the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, it allows you to move systematically further inside and attack the pocket from a much deeper angle. It is excellently suited to medium to dry conditions and an excellent choice if you are looking for a clean, responsive surface. With its forgiving nature on shots missed to the outside, it should keep your scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
