Description: The mid-performance ball by Roto Grip called the Roto Grip Disturbed grips the lanes better than it's sister the Berserk and even rolls earlier.

Whether your a Cranker, Tweener, or Stroker this ball would be a great one for you and as always they are made in the USA.

I drilled my new Disturbed 55x4 1/8x50,  it is very clean through the front part of the lane and heavy rolling through the mid lane.  I left surface at factory, and it definitely reminded me of a much stronger version of an outlaw.  Rolled fantastic on scorpion, viper, and typical houe condition.  This is definitely one of the better solid symetric balls I have thrown in a while.

Hello all and thanks for reading.  As always you can find our video that goes along with this review here : http://www.youtube.com/user/CompetitiveEdgeBowl

Disturbed....  what to say... um Incredible.  This is the most talked about ball at the Storm and Rotogrip matchmaker.  One of the most versatile bowling balls to come out in the Roto line.  Incredibly predictable ball motion, strong rolling and the perfect mixture of angularity and arc.  This new core design is a definite hit with all players of all skill levels.  Anyone looking for benchmark ball this is certainly the hit.  I drilled this ball with a 65 x 5 x 50 layout and it just does not quit.  Put a little polish on it and it does down the lane with ease but keep the box surface and it can handle even the heaviest of conditions.  This is a great all around ball and shall remain a hit for a long time.  Can't wait to see this core make its second mark in the Roto Line......

Disturbed

One of Roto Grips strongest symmetricals yet.  This is a good starting point on fresh lanes.  This ball will read the mids better than any I’ve seen.  Cover is versatile to give you some different options depending on the volume of oil.  I will likely start with this one out of the bag at nationals.

Not only is this probably the most versatile ball I have ever thrown, I watched a fellow league member throw 35 out of 36 strikes with it. If you want to play the dry part of the lane, just shine it up. If you want to play the middle part of the lane, just leave it out of the box. I have 2 of these balls drilled - one for oiler conditions, and one drilled for skid flip. This ball is able to read the front part of the lane perfectly, and really jumps off the dry. This is a great tournament ball, in that is allows you to be aggressive on tough lanes.

LANE CONDITION

Length:40'

Volume:Medium

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): THS OLD WOOD LANES


COMMENTS

Likes: Smooth and easy through the heads, with a predictable read in the midlane.  Response to friction is strong and continuous without being crazy.  I was able to play near the friction on the fresh, and just keep moving left chasing the head oil to get the push needed to reach the break point. 

Dislikes: It does need some headoil.  Once the heads go, its either move in and wheel, or back in the bag and shell down.

Layout 60x5x40, used on standard house shot. I found the ball to get clean through the fronts but more forward off the spot and did not go sideways. This ball reaction was easy to make moves with. As the oil carried down, I was able to move left and go a little straighter with same backend motion. I did find that the ball better served me later in the set. It did not carry as well earlier, maybe using too much energy early. Works very well for the player looking to go straighter and not see so much skid/ flip.   LOVE the name!!!

Type of bowler: Tweener
Avg Speed: 17.5
Rev Rate: 375-400
PAP: 5 x ¾ up
Layout: 45 x 4 ¼ x 65

Drilled the Roto Grip Disturbed to be at the top of my lineup and a ball that will work for heavier oil and give me good continuation. After bowling on three different patterns the ball does that and more.

Drilled it with a large VAL and a fairly aggressive drill angle and pin distance to ensure the ball was strong. The ball rolls early, which is what I want, but it’s the continuation and predictability that I love.

1st pattern: Cheetah
The first game out of the box I threw with this ball was on the Cheetah. This version had a bit of hang on the outside but was close. Understanding this was probably too much ball, I threw it anyway. I was able to move in and play a pretty wide angle. The good news is that when the ball read off the 35-foot’ish pattern it was predictable and that allowed it to stay in my hands. Once I moved in and started increasing the angles the ball became a monster and allowed me to play a part of the lane no one else around me could.

2nd pattern: Modified house shot
Threw this ball on a Sunday morning where they ran the heads over the leftovers. Was able to move in and use this ball to very good success. The ball showed the same characteristics as it did on the cheetah. Very aggressive move, but nothing uncontrollable. Despite the carry down, the ball still finished very well, a welcomed sight.

3rd pattern: Viper
Pattern was a fairly touchy early in the set. The pattern played much crisper on the backends than the Cheetah but stuck with the Disturbed to see how it’d do. Once I was able to blend the pattern out the reaction on the Cheetah was confirmed. Strong, continuous move with no overreaction. The only time it was touchy was on the fresh, but I think the surface helped blend the pattern out.

Overall, it’s a fantastic ball for my view and the money. It is the best rolling ball I’ve thrown since I had the original solid Cell and the Hammer Vicious Strike. The aggression with a controlled, strong finish is a trait EVERY bowler needs in their toolbox. Would recommend this ball to every type of bowler.

COMMENTS:

Likes: This ball is a beast. I've thrown 5 games with this ball, but I LOVE IT. It hooks like a monster, but hits like a tank. I've already been close to throwing a 700 series with this and threw my first 10-strike game with a 256. Everywhere I'd throw the ball, the ball would know how much it should hook and destroy the pins. I'm not completely used to this ball, but when I do, I hope to throw many great series, and possibly my first 300!

Dislikes: I've only thrown 5 games, so I have no dislikes yet, and I hope I won't have any :)
