Must Buy Ball By Spanish from North Jersey
Reviewed on: 1/19/2010
Verified Reviewer Pros:Flawless Surface Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Currently a bowler from Monmouth University, I received this ball from the sponsorship deal with my university. Currently, I only throw Roto Grip equipment. I made the switch from storm last year and have not disappointed me. The rogue cell is drilled basically for house patterns or high volume patterns. It's called a 5 x 3 pin up drilling. Every sport bowler should have a ball drill this way and this ball is just perfect to do so. I throw the ball about 17 to 18 miles an hour with a high rev rate and average about 220. My normal line is about 15 to 4ish on most patterns if I miss out to 2 the ball still comes back hard. The only pins left on the deck would be the ten pin and some nine pins. Out the box I went 750 with a 299 game. This is one of my favorite balls on the market and it is a must buy. This ball will improve your game. Roto Grip lives up to their name "King of them All". Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

I will never throw another brand of ball By Joey Pemberton from Bloomington, In
Reviewed on: 2/14/2010
Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip, Great Weight, Flawless Surface Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I'm a left handed bowler and ive struggled to find a bowling ball that works for the way i throw the ball. So i asked my proshop owner what ball he would recommend for me and he said the rogue cell would be the best. So i tried it and ever since i bought it im in love with it. It reacts so great in medium to heavy oil and with little adjustments you can even play in light oil. The best thing about this ball is how hard it hits it carries like no other ball ive ever thrown before. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

What a Ball! By Blue from New York

Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface, Attractive Design, Great land read Cons:None Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Upgrade, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I had the ball drilled today and this thing is a MONSTER! Since it was only practice for our Varsity team today, we had some very bad leftover oil. This ball's reaction was just perfect. I could throw it fast, throw it slow, just plain throw it bad, and it would find the pocket beautifully. Amazing ball! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Unverified Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I am considered an elderly bowler. I throw a slow ball and like a hook. I also like a ball that finishes in the backend for me. I am also left handed. This ball brings back positive memories of earlier days in bowling when I could strike on the hook. Thank you. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

It is the ball with the most hook I own. By jerry from jacksonville florida
Reviewed on: 12/15/2009
Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip, Attractive Design, Great Weight, Flawless Surface Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend It seems that the rg point on the ball was made for a left handed bowler. I am a right handed bowler. The professional who drilled the ball had to put an additional hole in it to keep it legal. It still hooks so much I'm having a hard getting used to it.
