Title: 3 FREE AGENTS THROWING ROTO ON SUNDAY
Post by: Mustang Guy on January 18, 2008, 03:35:06 PM
That's right!

Jack Jurek, Tommy Delutz, & Mike Scroggins will all be throwing Roto Grip this Sunday.  I believe all 3 of them will even be using the CELL.

Very exciting to see 3 guys throwing Roto Grip this weekend!  Good luck to everyone, including PDW.

That will make 3 out of the last 4 tournaments that a free agent used the CELL on tv or to get them to the tv show.  

This is, THE ball.

The pro shop guy in my house drilled up a Cell this week and said that for the 1st time in his life, he had 100% pin carry when he hit the pocket. He had 7 splits (all opens) and a 700 series. Damn hard to get a 700 with 7 opens.

I have been interested to try this ball.  I bowl in many scratch tournaments in the Northeast and I have had much success with other company's equipment (mostly Hammer and Lane #1), but have not had as much success with Roto-Grip.  I am looking to upgrade my arsenal before the next eastern PBA regional in April, and I must say, I am giving the Cell a hard look right now.  The core dynamics look fantastic, and from what I have seen from other guys who bowl with me, the ball looks great!  I can't wait to see it in action Sunday, and I might just have to pick up some Roto stuff before long!!

The Cell is THE BALL.  I can't wait for my second one to go with a weaker layout and polish to use on more conditions.

It was good to see you as well Gene.  You will have to at least take a few pictures of your pro shop and send it to me when you have time.  

Talk to you later.

luv2,

I think everyone can agree that most balls are round objects...overall a majority of them are good.  The pba guys, yeah they can bowl well with almost anything.  I think we have seen our fair share of top players switch to different balls over their careers and still they have done well.  

The fact is Jurek has used morich primarily all season and struggled.  He saw what most of the free agents saw in this Cell when wiseman threw it on tv 2 weeks ago.  This ball is different and helped him make his first tv show this year.  Fact is, it just matched up to him better.  Delutz is also making his first tv appearance this week and he just started throwing the cell two weeks ago.  And Scroggins has made many shows with storm and roto all year.

Post by: toomanytenpins on January 19, 2008, 03:51:01 PM
the more i read about this ball and how everyone is in awe by it the more i consider the fact that my game truly sucks. I tried it again last night and honeslty it was the only ball in the house that would finish in the oil. I had to pipe it up 17 . Thats not my game i need area and if i miss right with the cell it came roaring thru the nose if i moved left to get some area i got washouts. My accuracy is not the greatest,and this ball gives me no miss room.. Testament of a bad bowler not the case of a bad ball.

Roger, all I can say is that I can't wait to get mine to replace my Epic, SD-73, Quest, etc.  (just kidding)  I just drilled one for my friend and through he has smaller fingers then me, our spans are the same and I threw it on day old carrydown lanes.  All I can say is that this ball does what it is supposed to do. My Quest would skate on the carrydown because of the particle needing dry boards to work, my SD-73 would pick up, but hit like a pillow.  But the Cell, would rev up, read the lane, turn and hit the hole and carry great.  One lane had about 5 more feet of carrydown and the other was closer to fresh and the Cell would work on both lanes great. Drilled it the 4 x 4 with the 2 1/2" pin buffer, very easy to drill but man, what a reaction.  I know my friend, and Roger, said I don't need another dull ball, but I can't help it.  I WANT ONE!!  Once again RG does it again with another ball that hardly anyone will know about until it kicks your opponents butt on the lanes.  Keep up the good work Roger.

Local rivalry..?  

That's okay Jarrett, thanks for the positive feedback.  Definitely a great win for Mike Scroggins and a good day for Roto Grip.  Hey, after that match Barnes might want to be able to throw that Cell.

Sorry Miles, he didn't show up again on TV. (Choke!!)  Like Roger said, should have thrown the Cell.  He definitely wouldn't have left the dinner bucket like that or the washout on the next shot!  Ha Ha.

HAHA, he was throwing another weak pos Rival. The momentum looked ok, untill he hit it in the tenth. Oh well, Columbia won last week, they will get there again soon...

So when we going to punch up a cell so I can try this nugget out? i know what I'm going to bring to nationals but you never know... haha

Now for the $64,000 question...drum roll please...  How much did they get paid to use the ball on TV..? What were the posted incentives to use the ball..? =:^D
Title: Re: 3 FREE AGENTS THROWING ROTO ON SUNDAY
Post by: Mustang Guy on January 21, 2008, 09:59:52 AM
The posted incentives are all based on using Roto Grip specifically or any other brand, not by ball.  It is illegal to offer separate spiffs for using a specific ball or changing the amount of the incentives last minute.  

Roto Grip offers one of the lowest posted incentives of any company.  You would have to call the pba to find out what the posted incentives are.

I wasn't suggesting that you changed the incentives at the last minute. I was just wondering what the posted incentives were for using Roto Grip equipment vs the incentives of using Brunswick stuff. That's all. Congrats on getting 3 balls on the show..!! =:^D
Title: Re: 3 FREE AGENTS THROWING ROTO ON SUNDAY
Post by: Mustang Guy on January 22, 2008, 11:44:06 AM
Thanks T-GOD.  TO be honest I don't know what the incentives are for everyone else, but I know our posted incentive is nearly 1/2 what Storm is.  

Just didn't want anyone thinking we went out of our way to pay these guys more to use that ball specifically.  It truly just happened that way.  

It was also a quite expensive day for Roto Grip Sunday for all those guys to be on TV.  Not just the incentives we offered, but our ransom we have to pay the PBA.

Must have been quite a CELL-abration at Roto Grip this week.

I know it was lame, but someone had to say it.  Too corny for the next ball name, but I'll take a free one if it's picked.
