*~Roto-Grip Pluto Video from Videoballreviews.com!~*
« on: March 20, 2008, 12:24:26 PM »
Hi All,

I'm proud to present to you The Pluto video from ROTO-GRIP.

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

My Take on the ball:

Great ball for the Price.  The Low flaring core combined with the stonger cover will give bowlers a great control ball for most medium patterns.  This thing gives me so much room to get to the pocket on the house shot because it will sit in the oil and come pretty hard off the dry, maxamizing your mistake room.

This ball is especially good for High Rev players, looking for a good control ball that still hooks...

Enjoy! And as always comments and questions are welcome!

Britton that is not control ball or a light oil ball...That hooks more then alot of the highend gear you got videos for ..lol

My teammate throws one on Monday night and it does the same things...just flips over like in your vid.

Light oil?  When did i say it was for light oil? lol

When polished you may be able to turn it into a lighter oil ball...but you may need a weaker layout than i used as well...

This cover is strong tho, when i say control i also mean no suprises, this thing is so predictable its unreal  Reads the lane very well...

Well thats how Roto advertises it as light-med oil ball and I thought you were videoing it as.

I will say that this ball has one of the sharpest moves of anyone the balls I've seen withing the last few months.

My teammate hasnt polished it or anything..just ODB cover with pin over bridge.

No matter what, the ball is a steal for the money !

No wonder the dude says it looks controlled. Pin under with a weight hole in the thumb quadrant. If I didnt see the drilling of that ball or, I didnt know about drillings, I would not personally buy that ball based on that video unless I am looking for something for SCREAMING backends. I thought it didnt look good at all and thought for the shot it was on a different drilling could have been a heck of alot better.

That is you, I perfer to see it be smooth, I like to score and MOST of the time, a big skid flip is not the ball that gets that done.  So I think, I would be happy with it.

I agree with Crank.  I think a solid ball with the core specs like the Cell aren't meant for a big backend at all.  Control and early roll is the name of the game when it comes to combating heavy/longer oil.

Yeah smooth is great but, that ball with that drill does not seem to continue very well at all. It seems as if its rolling out a little early at the pocket. Not the best thing if you want to carry. I can totally appreciate a smooth rolling ball and one is essential in a bowlers bag IMO but, rolling out too early before the pocket aint my thing. The Cell is smooth but, it does not quit. That is my thing.
