- Scream (2012)

First Impressions
With the Scream (2012), Roto Grip brings a fascinating new development to market, one that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Late Roll 46 core, which with a 2.57 RG and a 0.022 differential ensures very clean motion through the front part of the lane. The 42L Pearl cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The surface, with a 1500-grit polished finish, supports this quality in a big way by letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction too early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher, and it 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 Scream (2012) to the Roto Grip Hustle, the glaring differences in backend reaction jump out right away. The Roto Grip Hustle tends to read a bit earlier, while the Scream (2012) holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That quality makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Hustle starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls are aimed at lighter oil patterns, the Scream (2012) offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It's the ideal solution for situations in which the Hustle no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the entry angle you need.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has been played on a bit and 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, the ball allows you to move systematically further inside and attack the pocket from a much deeper angle. It works excellently on medium to dry conditions and is an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, quick-reacting surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on misses out, it should keep your scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
