List your favorite older Roto Grip balls!
« on: April 24, 2009, 03:09:50 AM »
I was just wondering how long some of you guys and ladies have been using Roto Grip and what are some of your favorite balls or ball line, plus what did you like about this ball or ball and the line: Fuel line, Silver Streak line, Assault, etc....
Mine are in no particular order:
Assault-strong roll with finish
Apocalypse-length with great midlane read with awesome break point
Top Fuel-similar to Apocalaypse with a little earlier read and still big finish.
RSX-still using one! When all else fails I go to this ball for control with strong finish.
Horizon pearl-Clean through the heads with a super strong finish!
Thanks for reply and especially for using Roto Grip-King of them All!

past roto winners for me, top fuel, saturn, oralce vision, silver streak, If I could use it, the oddesy was MONEY. The only downside to that ball is I rarely found enough oil.

Roto RH (the bleeder)
Retro Blue
Pearl Assault (I even called Roger from a stop once asking if there were any in corners of the warehouse anywhere but to no avail)
Sonic X
Gold Grenade

oh, and if I opt for plastic that doesn't bleed, there are a couple of the Clear Grenades at the house, including one that is still undrilled.

I didn't list in my original post that my 1st balls were the XR black rubber with the X2 on it and the blue poly all with the RH, then came the RC5 and then I moved to the hooking ball back in the day the UC2 in about 84/85. Wow, it's amazing to think of all the bowling balls that I used and drilled back in the early 80's! I did mention the Assault line and the Assault pearl was a sweet rolling ball and with the Assault made a great 1-2 combo! Keep posting!!!

Silver Streak SE (hybrid cover) still carry it in my bag - great carry on most conditions - almost immune to carry down. The core is similar to the Storm Hy-Road but because the densest part of the core is further from the center it delivers a bigger back end. This is a core I would love to see again at RG - although I guess Storm may not want to share

Hey Dave_in_Rio_Rancho,
The weight block is a R/G Weight block with similar numbers to Storm's T-Road line and I believe R/G is going to use this or a similar weight block in a new release this summer! If you're not using a ball from Utah, you're getting beat by a ball from Utah! Go Roto

I liked the Epic Saga, until it split in half on me.
