- Mars

First Impressions
With the Mars, Roto Grip brings a fascinating new development to the market, one that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Symmetric core, which with a 2.54 RG and a 0.040 differential ensures 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, with a 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 changes of direction. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Mars 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 Mars holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts far more aggressively to the dry area. That characteristic makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Hy-Road Pearl starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls are aimed at lighter oil patterns, the Mars offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Hy-Road Pearl no longer generates enough drive, since it creates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has been played in a little 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 lets you 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. With 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.
