Title: If I could bring back 1 Roto Grip ball...
Post by: Rotoguy300 on March 24, 2011, 08:26:04 AM
If you could get Roto to reissue any single ball from the past, what would it be?
 
I'd love to see the SD73 Classic again, albeit I'm not sure as to what hurdles there would be to jump through due to the changes in USBC regulations...

Storm  (why throw anything else!)

For those of us that are rotationally challenged, I would love to see the SD-73 brought out of retirement.

Although it hasn't been gone long, the RS-P would be nice.

My first pick will be the SD-73 Classic... Still have one that I use in tournaments because I don't want to wear it out...

2nd pick would be the CELL.... That ball was and still is incredible... i think those two could still do damage on the lanes...

I'm in the process of trying to find out where I fit in the bowling world. I do not know my tech specs of my game, but it's all a learning process.

I know its only been two years but I would have to say the Mercury. I have never had a more consistent ball in my bag.

This is a question I cannot answer. There are so many great Roto pieces that I love, including the RSP, Silver Streak, and the whole Horizon line!

 

If I just had to....it would be the Battle as well. One of the sneakiest, strongest pieces I have ever owned, and.....I didn't know it's versatility until I applied some polish to it!!!



@ Locke.....did you throw your Mercury WITH....or WITHOUT polish?
Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, but it still holds the universe together.

OOB polished surface. I am still throwing it but it is getting pretty beat up these days. I actually just used for all 3 games this week, swept my points and was high on the pair. I was the only one that never had to change balls.

Well first choice would be Silver Streak SE - but I have an overseas Nomad Hybrid which, if a little stronger is still perfect.

 

Second Choice: Horizon or Mystic

 

Third Choice: Neptune

 

Fourth Choice: Mars

I would bring back the Mystic, (great Particle Pearl ball) and the Cell (great Solid Reactive) and hope that it would not crack!  LOL!!  I had both of these peices and I loved them both!  One ball that I did not have but I think that I would really love would be  the Fuel peice!

The original Cell is such a phenomenal ball. If they remade it, I'd buy one or two to have on hand if my current one ever dies or cracks.
