Outlaw Review By SenorRotoGrip from Grafton, Ma
Reviewed on: 7/25/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:Pro Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I drilled the Outlaw using a 50 degree, 4 1/2" pin/pap distance (pin above ring finger) with an extra hole 1" from my pap off the VAL. This layout combined with the 2000 grit abralon box finish, provided good length and a strong, smooth move off the breakpoint on a fresh house shot. The new symetrical Caliber weight block kept the pins low on the deck and provided good mixing action on light pocket hits and strong pin hit on full pocket hits. The 2.57 Rg and .48 differential will provide bowler's of all styles with a strong, moderately priced ball for most house conditions and for medium oiled tournament conditons Was this review helpful to you?

1st Ball out of the bag. By The Legend from Atlanta Ga
Reviewed on: 8/27/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Benchmark ball Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I am so pleased with this ball. It does everything that you want your everyday ball to do. It gets through the heads easily, I did have to polish it. It is angular and continuous on the backend, and hits as hard as any ball I've ever owned. This ball is the perfect compliment to the Bandit in a 4 ball arsenal, you have the 2 medium balls for medium light to medium dry covered. You'll be seeing a lot of these balls in the future.

Outlaw By Cmsubowler from Connecticut
Reviewed on: 9/9/2011 Verified Reviewer Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Hello all and thanks for reading..... Here is the video that goes with RotoGrip's new Outlaw:[@]Wow Wow WOW!!! Not sure I can say this enough. If anyone ever felt like the Nomad Solid wasn't enough for you then this is the ball for you. The new core in the Outlaw and the Bandit allows you to have the versatility of the original Cell line at a mid price point and let me tell you....... they are worth so much more than what you will pay for them. The Outlaw starts in the midlane with a great even roll and the surface allow you to play in the heaviest of conditions or will allow you to tame a ridiculously strong backend. I have used this ball on every single patter from Cheetah all the way to the Shark with success. I mostly enjoy using this ball on the shorter patterns where I can play further out and maintain a strong yet controllable backend reaction. In the video, which is the house shot, you can really see how the ball likes to rev up and then pick up a very heavy controlling roll on the back part of the lane. As the fronts start to break down a little bit have not fear of moving more toward the inside part of the lane as this ball will cut right through the heavy concentration most houses will put between boards 15 and 25. Comparing to the Nomad Dagger the overall shape is similar but the Outlaw allows you to be inside of your opponents lines that will get kinda chewed up as your league night moves forward. So if you are looking for a good controllable ball that won't squirt passed breakpoints then this is the one for you. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Stealin' Some W's G By THE HOFF from Bothell, Washington
Reviewed on: 8/18/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design Best Uses:Upgrade, Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:Pro Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Layout- Pin above and right of ring finger, CG stacked with a narrow/deep hole out on the midline. The new mid-range Roto Grip balls were the 2 new releases from the Storm brands I was most excited to get my hands on. The new weight block looked like a nice middle ground between the angularity in the Storm Victory Roads and the rolliness in the older mid-range Roto balls like the Mystic, Illusion and Grand Illusion. What ended up surprising me was how angular the Outlaw turned out to be for having a solid cover and a weight block that was pretty big around the equator. After throwing it a bit, I added the hole and some polish- the reaction reminded me A LOT of what my Roto Grip Riot had rolled like, except on steroids (quite a bit stronger). What is totally counterintuitive is the fact that adding the polish (and the hole) smoothed out my reaction quite a bit (I know what you're thinking and it made little sense to me, but it's true)- which is ALSO similar to what I got from my Riot. It actually does a really good job of blending out over-wall now- a lot like my polished Theory and 2 polished Riots, so the reaction is quite handy to have in my bag. I think folks with weaker hand that like to pla up the lane will really like this ball the most because of its relative strength in the price point and its ability to round the corner pretty well for a solid (see Storm Reign of Fire).

AWESOME By Kingpin from Nashville, TN
Reviewed on: 9/18/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great reaction Cons:NEVER Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I took this ball and a Nomad solid to try out, and on the fresh house shot the Outlaw was smoother with more overall hook than the Nomad. I used both the Nomad and the Outlaw at 2000 abralon finish. The Outlaw read the mid lane better and cleaner with a stronger, more continuous backend movement. For me, this ball never lost much, if any, energy down lane until they got really burned up. I then took the Outlaw and applied Storm Reacta Clean and Reacta Shine and moved back right and played up the drier part of the lane. The more I bowled with the Outlaw, the more impressed I was. This ball really responds to cover stock changes really well. This ball is a must for anyone on anything!! Great Job Roto Grip on the core and cover combination.

Roto Grip Rick's review on the Outlaw #1 By Roto Grip Rick from East Berlin, PA
Reviewed on: 8/2/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design, Love the reaction, Great new core, Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface, Great coverstock, Great Weight Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley, KEGEL pattern Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend OUTLAW #1 – 40 X 4 ½ X 20 PIN UP-BOX CONDITION – 11RLWF08E036 INTENDED FOR HEAVIER OIL AND CARRY DOWN CONDITION AND A HOUSE CONDITION WHERE THE SURFACE IS NEW OR NEWER AND HAS LESS FRICITION. TESTED ON AUTOBAHN AND TURNPIKE AND THS ON A NEWER HPL AND OLDER SPL LANE PANELS THE BALL EVEN IN THE O.O.B. CONDITION WAS SHARP OFF OF THE DRY AND DID DELIVER A STRONGER THEN NORMAL ANGLE INTO THE POCKET. ON THE OLDER LANE PANELS, IT WAS ACTUALLY A LITTLE STRONGER THEN I INTENDED TO BE. I PLAYED DEEPER AND WAS ABLE TO CREATE ENOUGH HOLD, BUT THEN THE BALL TENDED TO HIT A TICK BEHIND THE HEAD PIN. OVERALL, AN OUTSTANDING BALL FOR THE PRICE POINT. I LIKE THAT THIS SOLID, UNLIKE THE NOMADS SOLID IS A TRUE DULL SURFACE BALL. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Outlaw Versatile By Rotomike from Baltimore, MD
Reviewed on: 8/16/2011 Unverified Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Outlaw – Let me start out by saying that I am a huge fan of the Nomad Solid and the Planet solids Saturn and Pluto. The Outlaw is the best of both worlds. Whether you want to call the ball a Pluto on steroids or a Nomad Solid that clears the fronts easier but still reads the mids and is strong on the back; I'm okay with either description. Since I was going to only bowl on PBA Experience Patterns this summer I set my Outlaw up 45 x 4 ½ x 65. The pin is under the ring finger with the weight hole drilled at P3. I left the surface at box finish. Night one I bowled on a version of Viper that had more push in the midlane than I was expecting. Instead of using either the Grenade or the Bandit, I pulled out the Outlaw. I played out and was able to control the lane. I made 2 and 1 or 3 and 1 moves in as the night went along but I never lost hit or even thought about changing balls. I threw a couple of shots very deep in the pattern and still struck. Bottom line is that I led the whole league by over 100 pins that night. Night two I bowled on Chameleon. With two other players working the same part of the lane as I was (One playing up 5 and the other playing up 10) I knew the lanes would get choppy in the fronts with a big traction area down lane. Game one was a bit of a mess but as they broke down I moved in big time and switched to the Outlaw shooting 211, 200 and 236 winning the last three games. Bottom Line: Whether I was playing up the edge or swinging the middle, the Outlaw gave me a very confident look and carry. For players that prefer solids to pearls this will be a ball that is extremely versatile. I will be drilling a pin up Outlaw as an addition to my arsenal for the upcoming season. Did I mention the ROTO GRIP $100,000. Roto Grip is also unveiling the Bandit & Outlaw Challenge. This gives any USBC bowler the chance to earn $100,000 by bowling a 900 series using either the Outlaw or Bandit in any USBC certified league! Was this review helpful to you?

ROTO GRIP - OUTLAW Review By John Brodersen from Helena, MT
Reviewed on: 9/16/2011 Verified Reviewer Bottom Line: Image Submitted by Reviewer:Customer Image (ROTO GRIP - OUTLAW Review) Ball specs – 15 lbs 2 oz, 3.14 top weight, and 3 3/8-inch pin. Using the dual angle method, the Outlaw was punched with a 4 1/2 inch pin distance, 70 degree drill angle and a 30 degree VAL angle. Using Strom's drilling method the layout is 4 ½ X 5 ½ X 2 pin buffer. An X-hole was not needed. The surface was initially left OOB (2000 abralon) but then polished. With the new cover stock (Inception) and OOB surface the Outlaw is a surprisingly strong piece in the mid-performance Sword line. If you have some hand or slower ball speed the Outlaw will need some oil up front. (I ended up leaving mine at 2000 but added some polish) The mid lane read was strong and the ball continued to hook down lane. Hit and carry are both very good. The Outlaw started up about three feet sooner than a similarly drilled Bandit with the Bandit being quicker off the friction (more angular) down lane. The Outlaw is a step up in overall hook compared to the ball it replaces, the Nomad solid. The Outlaw will be a great choice on medium to medium-heavy conditions depending on hand and ball speed.

Outlaw By mikelj from Hebron KY
Reviewed on: 10/10/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface, Attractive Design Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:Pro Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I tested the Outlaw on a typical house shot. This ball will be ideal in a typical league condition. My Outlaw is drilled with the pin above the fingers keeping the box finish. This ball was clean through the front end and produced about 4 inches of flare. The ball rolled strong off my hand and in the mid-lane the ball revved up nicely and made a solid, smooth move to the pocket. 
 The Outlaw has a very predictable reaction, which is ideal for the league player. As the lanes transition, I could simply move left, play a little deeper and continue to use this ball. I found this ball to be a bit stronger than the Riot. The duller cover of the Outlaw makes it start to roll sooner than the Bandit. What I enjoyed the most about this ball is the predictability of the cover. It produced a nice steady hook to the pocket. I was getting 4-5 inches of flair and bouncing the ball off the dry all night. The Outlaw will make a nice addition to anyone's arsenal. Was this review helpful to you?

Super Mid-Range ball By Lefty Larry from Fountain Hills, Az.
Reviewed on: 11/15/2011 Unverified Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Accomplishment: My Outlaw has about the same layout as my Bandit, 3 inch pin left & below ring finger.Since the Solid Reactive surface is more aggressive then the Bandit and as a LH Senior stroker and Avg. speed of 14-15mp, I have to move in a little deeper on house league conditions between 8-15 which helps me get down the lane in the oil for a strong smooth roll to the pocket & super hit & carry. With the new weight block & surface I can see why the Pro's like this ball & some had good results in Vegas the week of Nov. 3rd..Another great mid-priced ball from RG.....Larry Hoffman, RG Advisory Staff Was this review helpful to you?

It reads the midlane real well and is very hard rolling off the spot. I really like how this ball handles the puddle but does not jerk when it hits friction. I have kept it 2000 abralon on the ball, and in league when the backs are not real clean, the Outlaw opens up the lane for me. If your looking for a controllable solid symmetrical , the Outlaw is the choice. The Outlaw has a very predictable roll to it, thus is very good choice for PBA and sport patterns. As it will keep you in play a lot more than other balls. Another great ball from Roto Grip.... Dislikes: It tends to roll a little early on the medium to dry lane conditions.. But a little Storm Step 2 compound or light polish will help create the needed length. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.
