Post by: BabyHammer on November 07, 2007, 01:13:51 AM: yes i got the same email.....
well i hope its something that is stronger then the Epic line...dont get me wrong, i love the line, but something stronger then the Oddesey would finish my needs.
i am sure that whatever it is, it will be fairly good, i havent had any ball that i truly didnt like....except maybe the Saga...that is by far my least favorite ball. but i dont get rid of it cause i might end up regretting it sometime down the road.
well hopefully they dont keep us in suspence for too long

Where do you bowl? The fact that anyone would need a ball stronger than the Odyssey just boggles my mind.

Post by: EboHammer4ever on November 07, 2007, 02:04:27 PM: My complaint is, why didn't they produce an Epic with the pearl Ultimate coverstock that the new Illusion has on it. That is what I thought the Saga would be and for me it was nothing like I thought.
Title: Re: New Roto Grip
Post by: shelley on November 07, 2007, 02:20:45 PM: Stronger than the Odyssey would be the Quest, no? Solid particle, more surface.

any other questions!
thanks Shelly for the Info, i have the battle and its great! i dont need another particle ball at this time. I like the Origional Epic, and my Odessey didnt do Crap if there was polish on it, but sanded to 800, its great. I didnt say that i didnt like the Epic Line...so sorry if your mind got boggled NORTHFACE28

Yeah, I knew those were international...the names give that away.

Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be good. Are we still going to see a limited edition ball for the holidays, too?
Title: Re: New Roto Grip
Post by: mttmar1975 on November 09, 2007, 11:13:32 AM: No, but you should take a look at the Illusion if you haven't already...its awesome. We have heard of alot of really big scores already. one guy shot 300 on back to back nights with it. I shot 279 with it last night...Good ball!

Post by: northface28 on November 09, 2007, 11:20:00 AM: FWIW, I had 742 with it last night. Uncanny recovery, huge backend and unlike some other roto balls the pins don't "explode" as the ball enters the pocket. The Illusion keeps the pins really low. This ball behaves like a shiny solid, minus the early read. The reaction is hard to describe, you have to own one to know where I am coming from.

January.. looks like a Morich-ish core
is the best way I could think of to
describe it...

Ehh, you could put the Roto Star inside the badge.

I'm still thinking ALL new. They brought the Epic line cover to the Illusion -- meaning there is a good chance of a new cover -- and I just can't see them making another ball with a Maximus (I or II) core, unless they modify it again. It was a great core in some great balls, but everything has its time...
Title: Re: New Roto Grip
Post by: tekneek on December 07, 2007, 06:23:33 AM: from what I saw yesterday it is something you've never seen before (core) plus a totally new cover, whew-hoo !!!!! Too bad it won't be here until after X-mas.

2 newbies coming real soon.

Same here! ME WANT TO SEE! I always keep a Roto-Grip ball in my mind to buy.

First I need to find some oil so I don't have to use virtually only plastic balls everyday!! My next purchase should be a Big-B Purple Rhino Pro!! LOL.

Can't wait to see what The Cell is all about, though!

C'mon, a little leak never hurt anyone so give the board some love!! What's the worse that can happen? Roto police show up at your door?

A new spare ball? Or maybe a solid Neptune? Or maybe a pearl Epic? Or maybe a partical Horizon? Or maybe a retro reissue? Or maybe something else entirely? A pearl blend Rush would be pretty cool. Just thinking out loud here...:-)

Mark

I would be first in line for a pearl blend Rush.
