The Critical Theory was one of the most popular balls in Roto Grip history and it's back in a new form, the Roto Grip Critical bowling ball!

The Triliptic core that was made famous in the Theory line is back! This high flaring core provides a ball reaction that doesn't quit on the backend.

The new addition to the equation is the new 67MH Hybrid coverstock which is finished at 3000 grit with no polish, just like the Critical Theory. This new coverstock will mimic the strong, smooth roll on medium-heavy oil that the Critical Theory provided, only for today's conditions.

The Critical is the perfect combination of old and new which will deal a deadly accurate blow to the pins and the competition.

Here's what Roto Grip has to say about the Critical:

Oh yes we did. Given the success and admiration of the Critical Theory from back in the day, it was time to bring back the part that provides constant motion no matter how it is drilled. Meaning this one is for anyone and everyone! Now of course today's materials are a little stronger than the past, but don’t worry you will still be in control.

67MH Coverstock
Type
Hybrid Reactive

In recreating the Critical Theory from the past, this modern generation 67MH Hybrid cover is finished to a 3000-pad just like its predecessor. Now of course today's materials are a little stronger than the past, but don’t worry you will still be in control.

Triliptic Core

The Triliptic™ asymmetric core generates a consistent axis migration and dynamic motion throughout the lane.
