The Roto Grip Halo Vision is the new hybrid-covered addition to the Halo series, coming out of the box at a 4000 grit finish. Along with the Halo and Halo Pearl, the Vision is the third ball in Roto Grip’s HP4 line to use the asymmetrical Centrum core design. The combination of its eTrax-H19 hybrid reactive coverstock and higher grit finish gives this ball more length and angularity than the original Halo. This ball’s large amount of flare potential and aggressive cover make it a strong contender on slicker conditions.

Stroker was starting his ball on the 12 board, crossing the second arrow, and getting it out to seven downlane.
