new here so excuse my ignorance on ball drillings but I've just bought the roto grip loco solid in purple

I play 2 handed with a rev range of 520rpm speed of 17mph. I was looking for something that went fairly long and had a nice smooth transition at the end of the lane and that's exactly what this ball does. hits the dry and has possibly the smoothest arc of anything I've bowled in a long time. it's been drilled with the pin in the ring finger. it's a great ball for house shot and works fairly well on shorter conditions.

I like it a lot due to its predictably you can throw it every time knowing exactly what it's going to do there's no overpowering snap and it hits with a alot of energy. would 100% recommend this for anyone with high revs that's looking for something that can move smoothly at the back end. I bowled today on a 47 foot long pattern and 34 foot short and was able to find a shot with it on both lanes.

really surprised that roto grip has stopped making them as there's a few local bowlers that have bought them here in the UK and nothing but great reviews. the people I know who have bought them have massive differences in playing style some low rev slow speed bowlers and it's worked for them also so I'm struggling to see why roto grip would pull it?

Much like Bill said, it seems like Roto's hp1 line gets replaced every year. A lot of people around me like the Loco, there are a lot of both the solid and pearl being thrown
