- Golden Globe

First Impressions
With the Golden Globe, Roto Grip brings a fascinating new development to market that impresses above all with its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Pancake core, which with a 2.69 RG and a 0.019 differential ensures very clean motion through the front part of the lane. The Polyester cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The nature of the surface with its Polished finish massively supports this characteristic by letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately conveys that this model was designed primarily for later, sharper direction changes. The technical match between core and cover has been achieved here in an extremely harmonious and purposeful way.
Comparison
Comparing the Golden Globe with the Ebonite Maxim, the glaring differences in backend reaction stand out immediately. The Ebonite Maxim tends to read a bit earlier, while the Golden Globe holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That characteristic makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Maxim starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls are aimed at lighter oil patterns, the Golden Globe offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Maxim no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once 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, the ball allows you to systematically move further inside and play the pocket from a much deeper angle. It is very well suited to medium to dry conditions and an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, quick-reacting surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on misses out to the outside, it should keep your scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
