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!
VTC-S18 Coverstock
Plenty of traction without gripping too early.
