What Roto Grip ball to get.....?
« on: January 15, 2013, 11:58:24 AM »
I want to add a Roto Grip ball to my bag and not sure which one to get.  Based on my "current favorites" and what matches up well with ME and my game, these are whats currently in my bag:  Nexus solid, DV8 Reckless, Virtual Gravity (polished), Black Widow Pearl, can anyone suggest a new Roto Grip ball for me??   I was thinking of:  Critical Theory, Defiant Edge & Soul as a few to look into.   I've not thrown Roto Grip before but have always wanted a Critical Theory but strayed to Brunswick for a minute.  Not happy or having success with the last new ball I got (Nexxxus) so looking for something new in Roto Grip.  (Oh, I am more less down and in player, lower rev rate, ball speed around 15 or more or less, dropped down to 14 recently also. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Cathey

Even the Frantic is very similar to the Tropical Heat hybrid and Rising Star in terms of overall boards it can cover.  Big difference is that the Frantic is a lot more angular.

I have a Critical Theory as well as I just drilled up a Defiant Soul. For me the Soul is stronger and carriers the off hits better than the Critical. Just my 2 cents worth. Love the Soul!!!!

How did you drill it? Throwing at Ob surface?

For me, I like Roto pearls. Had a lot of success with (1) Nomad Pearl, one of my favorite balls of all time; (2) Dark Star, and now (3) Defiant Edge. For me, I am starting to learn that I want to stay away from Hybrids and that pearls tend to work much better for me.
