ROTO GRIP WICKED GREMLIN

ROTO GRIP WICKED GREMLIN

The Gremlin is Back. And It’s Feeling Wicked. When we launched the original Gremlin, it wasn't just a ball—it was a problem for the pins. But even the best mischief-makers need a darker side. Introducing the Wicked Gremlin, the next evolution in high-performance lane destruction. We kept the heart of the original alive, but we’ve wrapped it in something far more sinister.

Core Technology
Rondure MaxD Core
Maxed Out. Again.
The heart of the GREMLIN Series is back. The Rondure MaxD Core continues its legacy as the highest RG and highest Differential option in the family. Why change perfection?
The Design: A precision-tuned density profile in the block and slug.
The Motion: Maximum length through the heads followed by a devastating, continuous backend.
The Benefit: Incredible "room for error" that turns "almost-strikes" into "no-doubters."
Other Balls with Rondure MaxD Core

The Engine: Same Heart, New Attitude
The WICKED GREMLIN features the exact same Core that made the original a staple in bags everywhere. You already know the motion; you already trust the backend. Why change a legend? We kept the Core's predictable, high-torque shape to ensure that when this ball makes its move, it's a move you're ready for.

The Shell: G-R1 Solid Reactive
This is where the mischief turns into a masterpiece. The WICKED GREMLIN introduces the all-new G-R1 (Grip-Response) Coverstock — a nano-free formula engineered for a uniquely "tacky" adhesion that reads the mid-lane with incredible stability. Designed specifically for Medium/Heavy Oil, it bites through the slick stuff to deliver strong, continuous motion without burning up too early or overreacting on the backend.

Ball Maintenance
For a bowling ball with a 2000 GRIT PAD ABRALON® factory finish, the key is keeping the surface clean and periodically refreshing the finish before lane shine changes the reaction. Wipe the ball with a shammy after every shot, clean it with an approved ball cleaner after each session, and touch up the surface with a 2000 GRIT PAD ABRALON® bout every 20 games to maintain the original texture.

Who is the WICKED GREMLIN designed for?
The WICKED GREMLIN is built for bowlers who need heavy-Oil traction with a more controlled, continuous motion. It's the perfect option for fresh house shots and transitioning tournament conditions, and a great step-down when your aggressive asymmetrics start hooking too soon.

How does the WICKED GREMLIN differ from the original GREMLIN?
Both balls share the same Rondure MaxD Core, so the overall motion profile and backend shape will feel familiar. The difference is in the Cover. The original GREMLIN uses the V-R1 Pearl Reactive Coverstock for a clean, angular snap, while the WICKED GREMLIN introduces the new G-R1 Solid Reactive Coverstock — a nano-free formula that provides more mid-lane traction, a smoother transition, and a more predictable, continuous read through the pins on heavier conditions.

How do I maintain the 2000 GRIT PAD ABRALON® factory finish?
To keep the WICKED GREMLIN performing as intended, wipe the ball after every shot and clean it with an approved ball cleaner after each session. Refresh the surface with a 2000 GRIT PAD ABRALON® approximately every 20 games to restore the original texture and maintain the strong mid-lane read the ball was designed to deliver.
