Thrown in a assym/stronger cover like a PROTON PHYSIX or REALITY and something a little smoother and longer like RST-X2, RUBICON UC2, or DARK CODE and you have a really good start to a versatile 5-6 ball tournament bag. If you own all 3 of the solid versions of the IDOL to date, then you can see a lot of utility out of these 3 to start a tourney bag with. Your bowling game just got hotter, thanks for the Idol Helios from Roto Grip.
#Idol helios pro
To summarize, it looks like RG split the gap between the IDOL and the IDOL PRO and has done it very well. The HELIOS looked more like the IDOL PRO with a 2000 surface on it. The original picked up a couple of feet sooner for me. The HELIOS is a strong reaction but not as early as the original IDOL. I also have thrown it on house at both places I bowl league at. I have thrown the HELIOS so far on a 42' 6:1 ratio/26 mils volume challenge pattern and also on a Kegel Beaten Path pattern which is 41' 5.8:1 ratio with slightly lower volume than the 42 foot pattern. It also shows some characteristics of being a benchmark type ball for some styles that are lower rev/higher speed. I wanted to be able to just blend into the edge of the wet with this one. The intent was to have a stronger cover symmetrical in my bag for longer (41-43') patterns that start to burn early and tend to go wet/dry in the track. I have thrown it at box finish which is 3000.

The bright orange color is a hit with the customers. The Helios fits between my Phase 2 and Proton Physix in total hook. The carry was equally good on both balls. My first Helios is pin up for length so I drilled a pin down and got the same hook with a smoother shape. I was also able to move in and find a nice line with good carry. I was also able to roll this ball on a heavy oiled house shot and the Helios came back to the pocket easily from outside of board 5. This ball just keeps on hooking! The only thing to keep in mind is when to ball down because as the lanes break down this ball will be too aggressive. The Helios reads the mid lane even on heavy oil and then makes a strong move to the pocket. I was 4 boards left with my feet and 2 boards left with my target than what I had expected. This Idol will continue the success of the Idol line of balls. Speed at release 17 Review: The new Roto Grip Idol Helios is an eye catching, very strong ball.
