About Roto Grip

For over 60 years, Roto Grip has been leading the way in bowling ball innovation and technology. Founded in 1957 by brothers Joe and Harry Neff, Roto Grip pioneered the use of polyester coverstocks which allowed for unprecedented hook potential in bowling balls. This kicked off decades of groundbreaking equipment from the Roto Grip name.

Today, Roto Grip continues to push the limits of ball motion and scoring with its cutting-edge core shapes, reactive coverstock materials, and finishes. The company’s headquarters and production facility remain in Akron, Ohio – the heart of the bowling industry. This allows Roto Grip to partner with the best chemical and polymer suppliers and rigorously test each new ball design.

The Roto Grip product line covers high performance tournament-level gear as well as equipment for recreational players. Some of their most iconic balls include the Roto-Grip 440, Top Weight, and No Rules. A large team of professional staffers like Jason Belmonte and Liz Johnson provide input to maximize each ball’s capabilities.

Beyond balls, Roto Grip offers a wide range of bowling accessories including bags, shoes, grips, gloves, towels, and more. Their apparel selection also covers anything a bowler needs from performance polos to team jerseys. Roto Grip’s commitment to innovation and service has made them a leader bowlers trust for over 60 years and counting.
