Roto Grip Defiant Soul review, video, and Digitrax analysis
« on: December 19, 2012, 03:56:11 PM »
Hi All,
We had a chance to review the new Defiant Soul.
We tested with 4 bowlers: stroker, tweener, power tweener, and cranker on House and Sport condition.

Don't want to give away too much before you read the complete review, but suffice it to say we loved this ball.  Simply put, excellent midlane control with strong continuous backends.  All bowlers could open up the lanes with this beast.

threw this ball for the first time in my tuesday league.  mine is a 3 in pin, drilled over ring stacked.  i struggled the first game (160) very inconsistant roll.  came back and decided to put alittle less on the ball (i wear a glove as well as a pro release) and the ball came to life.  212 open 10th and the last was a 255. 

this is only me but, the ball was so strong i had to just lay it down and let it do it's own thing to make it work well.  i liked it though because it was super smooth, and hit like a ton.  i usually throw lower end stuff, rising star was my go to ball for a long time, high rg balls i could put some wrist into, but this ball is really that good.  just didn't roll so well when i tried to hard.  it felt good to just smoothly release a ball again, and still see the power

I absolutely love this ball. Drilled 55x4x40 Weight hole in p3. Clean through the fronts, with a continuous back end. I drilled it for a 41ft house pattern and sport shot league, the house i bowl at feels flooded and requires a tighter line. With this ball I was able to open up a little and still was able to maintain a good angle to the pocket. Today on Dick weber pattern, I played around with a newly drilled Disturbed and boy was that 2k grit strong, it just grabbed onto the mids too soon for my liking. Tried to manage but ended up taking out the Soul in the middle of game two. Games 3 comes around and shoot 248. Playing 40 shooting at 25. All in all, awesome ball and rolls very well for me.
