Idol Helios
Roto grip Idol Helios
Your idol continues his journey - with the idol Helios from Roto grip . This Ball uses the same symmetrical Ikon core, with its low RG, but introduces the XtremeTrax surface formula. The Roto grip R&D team took their time to carefully analyze and fine-tune the chemistry and ingredients behind this XtremeTrax Solid Reactive. This core/shell combination on the Idol Helios digs deep into heavily oiled lanes, but creates more angle and movement later in the lane.

Our EMAX tip:
- A successor to the popular purple idol. What can you expect: Same core, probably a slightly weaker shell. A little smoother in overall movement, the Helios gives you more options. The Original Idol always struggled with the fact that it burned out too early for some players and generated little carry. With the Helios, these problems will only arise when the oil pattern is very busy or your track is naturally rather "dry". The Idol Healios doesn't start rolling quite as early as the Zen Master , but rather stores its energy for the backend a little longer. This is particularly appealing to players with less ball speed, as they then don't have to "press" the idol Helios as much to keep him on track. Compared to Storm 's Phaze II, the Idol impresses with a slightly stronger overall movement, but the same dynamics.
- The Helios is the strongest rolling idol, but the flattest at the back end. So a new reaction in the Idol series, which we very much welcome. This controllable movement makes it suitable for many playing styles. Whether fast, slow, high or low rotation, you get a Ball that can be played continuously and evenly. A perfect benchmark ball.
- Due to the abundance of balls these days, our EMAX team has thought about what else can help you choose the ball. Below you will find an overview of the conditions for which, in our opinion, this Ball can be used sensibly.
- But please keep in mind that there are also fast and slow track surfaces; we cannot go into these.
