A proven “winner” in the first version, the Altered Hotshot Core provides the length and change of direction we were needing in the HP2 line. Just like the original Winner we calculated many tests to dial in the new VTC-S18 Solid Coverstock. The major key was getting the ratios of materials just right to provide traction throughout the lane without gripping too early. This ball will excel on a little bit more oil for sure. Compared to the original Show Off, the new Winner Solid will clear the front of the lane just a bit easier, yet will provide plenty of backend motion for a solid coverstock ball. I mean how can you go wrong with a ball named after what you are trying accomplish Because we all know, winning never gets old!
Altered Hotshot™ Core: Starting the with the same shape from the original Hotshot™ Core, we changed out the slug on bottom to totally change up the core dynamics. With a heavier slug, the RG value went down just a touch, while the differential went up almost 10 points. Lowering the RG and increasing the diff = more downlane change of direction!
VTC-S18™ Solid Reactive Coverstock: Just like the original Winner™ we calculated many tests to dial in the new VTC-S18™ Solid Coverstock. The major key was
getting the ratios of materials just right to provide traction throughout the lane without gripping too early.
