Hi All,

I'm proud to present to you The Roto-Grip Grand Illusion Video.

http://www.videoballreviews.com/grandillusion.html

My Take on the Ball:

Your prayers have been answered people...ok be honest, how many times have you tried throwing your cell on a house shot and it is just way too much ball...but you throw it anyway cause its just fun to cover that many boards?

Go ahead, raise your hands, dont be scared

Well now you can have the perfect compliment to the cell...the Grand Illusion is an awesome piece.  Gives you the same continuation and forgiveness of the Cell, but it retains energy so much better for a big backend move.  Its like roto-grip took the best parts of the cell and the best parts of the illusion and smacked them together into this ball...the funny part is, i think the ball actually compliments the Dimension a even better as far as ball motion goes.  The Grand Illusion gives me the same angular look in the backend as the Dimension, but about 5-6 boards right.

I have yet to find any negatives with this ball, but when i do ill let you know...i have used it on everything from cheetah to shark, with success...

GREAT follow up to the Cell...

Nice Video)

Outstanding video, i have 1 slight request/question.

Any idea what the GI will do compared to a cell at 500 abralon + medium polish?  Thats now my cell is right now & i want something with slightly less hook, but a little more of a skid snap without being something that goes 55ft & makes a u-turn.

I guess the request would be for u to take your cell to 500 + med polish & let me know how it reacts compared to the GI.


Let me know

throwing the ball the same way doesnt really make that big of a difference, & in reality, our games are similar enough that yes, it would help me.

Plus, im not demanding that he does this, its a request for him to do something that would help me out a ton.

His whole purpose of the video ball reviews is to help people make smarter choices in their ball purchases.  I dont think he will be offended by me making a request, im not asking for another video, im just hoping he would have the extra time to change his cells surface really quickly & let me know what the outcome is.

That first Illusion is what Roto-Grip has always been to me:  flat.  Blah reaction with some pop.  But the past 4-5 releases of Roto, and talk about a total 180.  The Grand Illusion looks a lot like a Storm ball, both in color and reaction.  I wouldn't be surprised if that's the Reactor coverstock (it reminds me SO much of my Pyro and my buddy's Fired Up).

Im with noodlejester on the Grand Illusion is really seems to look like and has similar movement to alot of Storm balls. I know Storm pours Roto, but this seems like a Storm made ball
