BOWLING BALL INFOS

First Impressions
With the Silver Streak, 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 Streak Core, which with a 2.53 RG and a 0.045 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 nature of the surface with a polished finish massively supports this trait by letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually it's 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 Silver Streak with the Storm Tropical Surge, the striking differences in backend reaction are immediately apparent. The Storm Tropical Surge tends to read a bit earlier, while the Silver Streak holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That trait makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Tropical Surge starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls are aimed at lighter oil patterns, the Silver Streak offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It's the ideal solution for situations in which the Tropical Surge 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 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 lets you systematically move further inside and attack the pocket from a much deeper angle. It's excellently suited to medium to dry conditions and an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, responsive surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on shots missed to the outside, it should keep scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
