Gremlin™
HP3
INFORMATION DATE: 6/30
STREET DATE: 7/18
Core: Rondure™ MaxD Core
Coverstock: V-R1™ Pearl Reactive
Finish: Power Edge™
Sometimes it's just better to let the R&D Team play around with various core and cover combinations and let them see what kind of chaos and havoc they can create. Such was the case with Roto Grip's latest addition to the HP3 Line known as the GREMLIN™.
Cove™
800 Series
INFORMATION DATE: 6/30
STREET DATE: 8/15
Core: Magna™ A.I. Core
Coverstock: RB 85 Hybrid
Finish: 4000-Grit Abralon®
The Roto Grip Cove™ is the latest offering in the 800 Series. Fitting just above the Zen 25, the Cove™ features the All New RB 85 Hybrid Cover and symmetric Magna A.I. Core. The RB 85 Cover is a new dynamic creation by 900 Global's R&D team that will ensure you a proper read of the lanes. The Magna Core with its balanced dual-hemisphere design, will give you one of the most continuous and stable shapes available.
________________________________________________________________________Ember™ 800 Series INFORMATION DATE: 6/30 STREET DATE: 8/15
Core: Magna™ A.I. Core Coverstock: RB 82™ Pearl Reactive Coverstock Finish: Power Edge™
The 900 Global Ember™ will complement the Cove™ perfectly. Fitting just below the Zen 25, the Ember utilizes the same All New Magna A.I. as the Cove. The difference is the cover. RB 82 is an aggressive pearl cover that was designed to give you more backend while sacrificing very little traction in the oil. The Magna A.I. Core helps keep the Ember on-line and will be sure to balance out predictability and backend performance. |
Ion Pro Solid™

STREET DATE: 6/20
Weightblock: Element™Tour A.I. Core
Coverstock: TX-16™Solid Reactive
Finish: Power Edge™
Scent: Blueberry Donut
The Ion Pro Solid further strengthens the Premier line with its continuous asymmetric benchmark shape. Enhanced with Power Edge technology, the TX-16 solid cover delivers a more pronounced backend motion compared to the Ion Pro Hybrid. The single density Element Tour A.I. Core, featuring a low RG, moderate differential, and a relatively conservative PSA, offers the ideal blend of predictability for challenging patterns and a smoother transition to tackle wet/dry league conditions with ease.
Hy-Road 40™

STREET DATE: 6/20
TEAL
Weightblock: Inverted Fe² Technology
Coverstock: A1S™ Pearl Reactive
Finish: Power Edge™
Scent: Pineapple Apple Crisp
The Hy-Road 40 represents a throwback to the Hy-Road Pearl with a twist. At the heart of things is the venerable 2-piece Inverted Fe² technology. The very same found in all Hy-Road Series releases and the most successful weight block in the history of Storm. The A1S Pearl cover features one of the fastest oil absorption times across our family of brands. This helps the Hy-Road 40 combat the thicker oils of today while still providing that famous Storm backend shape.
APRIL 30, 2025 PROFESSIONAL BOWLERS ASSOCIATION
BURBANK, CA – The CW Network today announced it has entered into a multi-year broadcast agreement with the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA). Beginning in 2026, the CW will air ten action-packed live professional bowling events annually in dedicated, two-hour windows on consecutive Sunday afternoons. The CW’s national reach and consistent scheduling will amplify bowling’s accessibility to both casual and devoted fans.
“We are thrilled to partner with the PBA and add live bowling to our CW Sports lineup,” said Mike Perman, Senior Vice President of Sports, The CW Network. “Bowling is one of the leading participatory sports in the country, so we are eager to introduce the top players and exciting competitions its professional circuit brings to new audiences nationwide.”
Since its inception in 1958, the PBA’s title events have been a mainstay on American television, defining the legends of the game. Today’s PBA stars, including 3-time Player of the Year EJ Tackett of Indiana, 7-time Player of the Year Jason Belmonte of Australia, and major champions Kyle Troup and Anthony Simonsen, bring electric and diverse playing styles, with personalities to match. When the best bowlers in the world face off in the most prestigious events in the sport, big strikes, seemingly impossible spare conversions and high drama are guaranteed.
“We are excited to become a part of the CW’s growing commitment to sports broadcasting,” said Lev Ekster, President of Lucky Strike Entertainment. “The CW’s commitment to consistent, high-visibility broadcasts offers a game-changing platform to grow our fanbase, celebrate the immense talent and big personalities of our athletes, and bring a fresh energy to one of America’s most beloved sports.”
The PBA joins a growing roster of sports on The CW, including the NASCAR Xfinity Series, which has drawn over one million viewers per race for the first ten events of the 2025 season. The CW will also broadcast another season of ACC and Pac-12 college football this fall, as well as three more Grand Slam Track weekend events in 2025 and AVP professional beach volleyball on Saturdays this summer.
A full viewing schedule will be released at a later date.
