The February BTM reviewed both the Odyssey and Neptune.  They absolutely loved them on the conditions they were designed for.

I drilled up a horizon pearl a little while back and have been really impressed with it.  Really one of the flippier (but controllable) balls I have seen in a while.  If the mystic is anything like the solid or pearl, it should be a great ball as well.

The Mystic Horizon sounds pretty good to me, perhaps I need to upgrade the particle pearl in my bag.

That Neptune sounds so good.  An even weaker core should make it even more predictable on those dry beat up shots.  Other companies look at their low end to make a ball that will move well for people that are getting into bowling and want a ball to hook.  Roto, on the other hand is coming up with stuff that reacts great and as a reult, they have the best low end on the market in my opinion.  This is not a knock on other companies, it is just my opinion as to why Roto seems to have something for every shot, while other companies seem to be offering similar reactions at different price points.

FWIW
BTM reviewed the Odyssey in this, its Feb 2007 issue. It got the largest backend rating ever given a ball, 17.5. The only other ball to get that was the No Mercy.

The Neptune was also reviewed. In their opinion (my interpretation of their review), it is a major league Dry Lane ball, or as dry as a condition on which you can still use a resin ball. Seems like it and the Visionary Blue/Green Centaur are THE two resin balls (which still have true dynamic cores) which can be used on dry lanes.

Charlest,

After being able to test the Odyssey and
Neptune... if you are looking for a
"BIG HITTER", then wait 'til they come out!!
The Odyssey is a WRECKIN' BALL...
The Neptune is simply the best light oil
ball that I have ever had in my hands...
the box finish made it effortless to get
down the lane... the cover tunes well...
I personally liked it with the shine just
knocked down a tad.. same length but not quite
as touchy and more forgiving..

Hank B. went with some layouts to plug
holes in the arsenal... I can't wait
'til they get released!!!
