Roto Grip Bowling Balls

17 Mar

Over the past few years Roto Grip has come on strong with their product releases. With the initial release of the Roto Grip Cell, which was ball of the year in 2008 to the newest releases the Roto Grip Riot and Roto Grip Dark Star, Roto Grip has really put their name on the map.

In the Crown Line the Mutant Cell has become one of the top selling balls on the market. It is a strong heavy rolling ball that matches up to a lot of different styles. It is designed for heavier volume patterns and performs extremely well on longer patterns such as the Shark. Also in the Crown Line is the Roto Grip Rogue Cell. The Rogue is more angular than the Mutant and works really for players who like to use inside angles. The Mutant Cell and Roto Grip Rogue Cell are both great choices for the league bowler to wants to see the ball hook more on a house pattern.

In the Sword line is the Roto Grip Nomad and Roto Grip Nomad Pearl. These balls are also quite strong but with the symetrical cores they have a tendency to be a little smoother than the Crown series. I like to use the Nomads as a first ball out of the bag to see what the lane pattern is doing. They can be used on multiple types of patterns are a great starting point if you are looking to try some Roto Grip equipment.

The Roto Grip Riot and Roto Grip Dark Star have just been added to the Shield line to accompany the Roto Grip Mars and Roto Grip Pluto. These two balls are currently two of the best balls on the market for the money. Retailed around $135 they are absolutely hard to beat. Both balls utilize the Vision cover previously used on the Epic and Illusion series and have the new Photon core designed by Roto Grip. The Roto Grip Riot is fairly strong but very even rolling ball that can be used on many types of patterns and helps blend over/under ball reactions. The Roto Grip Dark Star is extremely clean through the fronts with a smooth but strong motion on the back of the lane that is very useful for lighter volume or broken down patterns

Overall Roto Grip has a complete arsenal of balls that give you the ability to play any condition without breaking your wallet. Going on my 3rd year being on staff with them I could not be happier with the equipment they have released. Every ball they release has a purpose and compliments the other releases perfectly. I am highly looking forward to see what they have up their sleeve for the rest of 2010.

MUTANT CELL REVIEW

22 Oct

I have finally recieved my Mutant. I have been awaiting this for some time now here is my review of this awesome ball!!

Layout:
55x5x35 (no hole)
(pin above middle, MB in the thumb)
Surface changed to 4000 no polish

When laying this ball out, I was really looking for something that would handle carry down better than my other balls. The specs on this ball pretty much told me that the Mutant Cell was a very good pick for this so I basically went with one of my favorite layouts.

What a great surprise this ball is. The Cytoplasmic XL cover allowed this ball to get cleanly down lane especially for a solid. (I normally change my cover surface on most balls before I throw it, hence the 4000 surface). I knew the cover would not be a issue just with the success I have had with my Rogues and the cover is the same just without the pearl additive that makes the Rogue a hybrid. The new core that the Mutant uses it what I was most interested in. This is a fast revving core which really translates into a really heavy/continuous motion on the back part of the lane. This is exactly what I was hoping for.

While testing this ball in league (40 ft house pattern) I was able to stay in the same part of the lane for a much longer period of time than I normally can. To makes things even better as the lanes started to break down my ball reaction actually became better as I started to migrate left. My carry percentage was absolutely amazing, as the really heavy rolling motion kept the pins low. (actaully tripped about 4 4pins which is not typical for my higher rev game.) I never had to change balls the entire night and moved a total of 6 boards with my feet and 3 with my eyes. Normally I will move at least 10 to 12 with my feet.

If you are looking for something to add to your aresenal for medium to heavy patterns or if you are just a Roto fan you are going to want to pick one of these up. It is a completely diffferent ball motion than anything in the current line. The Mutant Cell is a very exciting release and is going to a favorite among many types of players.

Mutant Cell Coming in NOV!

04 Oct

You think the Cell was a great ball, wait till you see the Roto Grip Mutant Cell.

This the info from Roto-Grip:

“The success of the Cell series continues to grow, and so does the technology involved in the newest edition. THe signature touch to the line has been its continuous motion and versatility. This stems from the Nucleus core and its unique shape. This asymmetrical part maintains its dynamic integrity and differential value after drilling better than any other ball on the market.

Our intent was to utilize this same premise in the newly designed Nucleus II core. We have strategically removed mass along the axes of the core to increase the intermediate differential or mass bias strength. This translate into a quicker revving part along with increased motion potential down the lane.

The final touch is the utilization of the Cytoplasmic XL solid reactive coverstock. This second generation coverstock has an extreme amount of surface topography (Ra value). This means more friction from foul line through the pin deck.

The Evolution of Technology has Mutated!.”
