Title: new roto balls
Post by: tcrank on May 20, 2009, 06:18:28 AM
Roto Grip is the only company without info on new products. Does anyone have any info???

I heard awhile back that a Cell replacement would be coming for next season but so far nothing. Not that it needs one. There is a new line coming in the Sword (mid range) line. They are bringing back the silver streak core I believe. Should be pretty good.

Didn't they say the Illusion line was gone and the cell's were staying.

From what I read from Roger a while back - there is no new Cell coming (and why would they discontinue the best selling ball on the market - DUH) but there will be an illusion replacement with a possible old core...

Back in the "old new ball thread" that disintegrated in some petty squabble, Roger mentioned that two Rotary Core balls were coming out. These balls should be winners for most bowlers. I throw both a Roto Grip Silver Steak SE hybrid and a Storm Hy-Road hybrid. Both are controllable OOB. The Storm has a softer coverstock, however the RG SSSE has quite a bit more backend reaction for me. I see another ball of the year award coming - LOL

For those who haven't seen the cores of these two balls they are similar but the Rotary core has the dense bulb further towards the outside of the ball opposite the flip block, while most Thunder cores have it near the center and closer to the flip block.

Most of the Rotary core balls were noted for (at the time) extreme entry angles and the ability to follow the shot inside.

Bowl expo is june 25th so i would expect the info by then. you will likely see release dates by mid august. unfortunately sometimes storms gets first pours in the summer. so expect some RG balls like always to smell like something.

In addition to what Britton said, the Crown poly is coming too.  This is a HAND PAINTED core under a clear cover...looks awesome.

That sounds nice. Roto's answer to the Crystal diamond, but most likely much cheaper, this I am interested in. Good thinking Roto

1 more week everyone.  Just have to finalize a few things so we can release the information to the Distributors.  For fun, how about a good old fashion guessing game?  

I can't say regardless until middle of next week, but how about this:

If they had that ball, instead of coming with a drill sheet, it'd have an instructional book on how to update your voice mail message on your Blackberry while on the phone with Bob & Tom, and while on another phone berating a failure of a coworker.

These appear to have a new cover?  Not as strong as Ultimate Vision?  But the core is stronger than the one in the Illusions so would this make for similar overall strength but different reaction shapes?

In keeping with their Rotary Core predecessors they will most likely save all the energy for the backend.
