http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=26261&ForumID=16&CategoryID=5Check out the above post where another user why I do not know said the same thing about the sonic as I did. In fact he rates the sonic for low rev players not medium players. And he said a little bit of hand, not pchee hand with manly revs.
Roto is misleading people by saying these ratings for for medium players and if you say that these ratings are accurate then you also mislead people. If you think I am basing my reviews on my normal style you are dead wrong. I never do that to any ball. I threw these balls with all different types of releases many of which were average player releases and much more involved than your player 1, 2 and 3. In fact I threw these balls a lot with pure fluffer releases. I tilted them, changed rotation from 10-90, played in oil, light, dry, everywhere from 1 board down and in (like the obese JeffNoRevs) to lofting over both gutters with a set down point of 39 board and breakpoint of 5 board. Still these Roto's are much stronger than their ratings. IS this good or bad? Like I said I don't know. But I, unlike many butt kissers and brown nosers, I will call the shots like I see it without misleading anyone. So to all you that base your selection on Roto's ratings, you should take into account that Roto's ratings are largely incorrect.
When Nicanor comes back from vacation he will tell you the same. Nicanor is an average player in terms of speed and revs. The only thing he will say differently is that when I threw the SSP the first night it did not snap. Well that was because the heads and mids were too dry for it so it burned up and lost too much energy to snap on the back. But the last night we bowled there was plenty of oil up front and the SSP snapped like a bat outta hell. Other than that, he will tell you about the Sonic being incorrectly rated by Roto. Even with his normal game the Sonic still needs PLENTY of oil up front. That is not the meaning of a med-dry ball.
Doc Hollywood threw my sonic today and even though he couldn't throw it well because our spans are completely different (he lost a lot of revs but threw his normal speed), the sonic was more aggressive than his Buzzsaw XL and stronger than his Savage pearl off the dry, yet weaker in carrydown and more skiddy on oil upfront.
I'll give credit where its due and that is hitting and carrying power of Roto stuff. They all hit and carry much better other companies I've thrown.
If komike sees this post he'll verify everything as well and maybe give you some of his opinions. Its not just me Roger there are a lot of people that feel the same way so there is no need to get so defensive. I truly feel your rating system misleads people. And no this is not a conspiracy against Roto. I like a lot of Roto balls like the silver streak solid, SSP, Assault Pearl and Retro Blue. I just call the shots like I see it and I shoot straight from the hip without sugar coating.
Roto Ratings<~~~was it just another honest "misteak" or is their average player based on the women's senior leagues.

pchee2<~~~strokin the ball with cranker revs and spraying the lanes for an average of a buck 62. This guy is full of STUFF!
