Price is UNDRILLED.
The legend grows, but the footprint gets more precise. Roto Grip is proud to introduce the Gremlin TOUR-X, a ball designed specifically for those who demand "professional-grade motion" without the unpredictability.
When the lanes get tough and the original Gremlin is a bit too "wild," the TOUR-X steps in to provide the control, predictability, and punch you need to stay at the top of the leaderboard.
Why the Gremlin TOUR-X?
In the modern game, "more hook" isn't always the answer—better hook is. The Gremlin TOUR-X is built for the competitive bowler who needs a ball that blends the wet and the dry. Expect a medium-flare pattern that keeps your transitions smooth and your carry high.
The Bottom Line: If you loved the shape of the original Gremlin but want a more disciplined, "Tour-ready" version for league nights or tournament blocks, the Gremlin TOUR-X is your new go-to.
RONDURE™ TOUR-X CORE
While the original Rondure™ MaxD Core was designed to push the limits of length and continuation, the Rondure™ TOUR-X Core was built for the surgeon on the lanes.
By strategically recalibrating the densities of the internal block and slug, we’ve shifted the performance profile toward total control. Unlike its predecessor, we’ve intentionally lowered the RG and Differential to create a more stable, centered engine.
What does this mean for your game?
By bringing the weight closer to the center, the Tour-X Core generates a "professional-grade motion." It provides:
Predictable Mid-lane Read: No more guessing when the ball will pick up.
Controlled Medium Flare: A tighter, more manageable flare pattern that excels on tricky transitions.
Enhanced Accuracy: By smoothing out the backend "snap," this core offers a more continuous, predictable arc that keeps you in the pocket when the lanes get demanding.
If the MaxD was about raw power and length, the TOUR-X is about mastery and placement. It’s the same legendary Rondure DNA, now tuned for the competitive "Tour" look.
V-R1™ HYBRID: THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
Building on the success of the original V-R1™ Pearl, the Gremlin TOUR-X introduces the next evolution in shell technology: V-R1™ Hybrid Reactive. By blending the "Versatile-Response" pearl material with a solid component, we’ve created a coverstock that offers a more disciplined, heavy-hitting footprint.
Traction Meets Transition
While the original Pearl version was all about ease through the front of the lane and a sharp response to friction, the V-R1™ Hybrid is designed for a more "filled-in" motion. It retains the signature consistency of our nano-free materials—responding to friction with incredible reliability—but with the added mid-lane stability that only a hybrid can provide.
The 4000-Abralon® Advantage
To further refine this professional-grade motion, we’ve finished the TOUR-X to a 4000-Abralon® surface. This specific grit selection does two things:
Smooths the Peaks: It tames the "jumpy" response often seen on high-friction surfaces.
Maintains Energy: It provides enough teeth to read the mid-lane without burning up too early, ensuring the ball has plenty of "pop" left for the pins.
Ultimate Adjustability
Just like its predecessor, this material remains incredibly pliable. Whether you need to scuff it up for more bite or polish it for more skid, the V-R1™ Hybrid takes surface adjustments better than most, making it the most versatile weapon in your bag.
