rouge, virtual(a lot of polish), cell pearl or nomad pearl, mars or neptune
that sound good? was going to drill the cell pearl similar to the "tommy jones" layout with the mb above the thumb and the pin way up.

i have a rogue and also like it.
while i cant always find the perfect line for the rogue what it does offer me is a look on not just heavy oil but it also allows me to get deep as the lanes turn towards medium and it still carries. my rogue is drilled with a weak MB.... i could just imagine what it must do with a really strong drill on it!

I have a NIB Neptune I haven't drilled yet. How is your's drilled and what type of reaction do you get? Thank you.
I drilled mine pin up, but fairly strong (4x4) because I don't have a lot of hand. Sails through medium and light oil, reacts predictably once it hits the dry. Wouldn't call it a skid/snap...more of a hard turn. A little sketchy on carry down, but that's to be expected.

Rouge
Virtual Gravity (polished)
Nomad Pearl
Storm Natural
Spare Ball
That sound like i can cover just about everything? for long distance tournaments where i only take my 3 ball tote on the plane, i was thinking i could just take
Rouge
Nomad Pearl
Natural
please let me know what you think. i have a couple tournaments on the way and dont have anything i can use besides the rouge and emerald vibe which makes it a big gap. thank you!

Rogue Cell
Grand Illusion
Neptune
but a 5 ball bag would consist of:
Rogue
Cell Pearl
Grand Illusion
Neptune
any spare ball (maybe Storm Natural but that golden globe looks SWEET)
my usual bag has the rogue, grand illusion and my Neptune and i believe they would make a fairly good balanced tournament bag
the rogue is defiantly for the heavy stuff but it can also play a inside line a little better than a cell solid, the grand illusion is very underrated and could be a great benchmark ball, the Neptune is a little stronger than what people give it credit for but with a weak layout and the ability to kill the wrist on spares, it would be great dry and spare ball, instead of the Grand Illusion, you might be able to sub in the new Nomads, they look like there a little stronger than the illusion line and can swing a little better as well
all of roto grip's stuff takes surface change REALLY REALLY well so you can tweak them as you see fit but this is what i would go with if

if you have had luck with the urethane like the natural then go with it, i was just thinking in a 3 ball bag, you want the least amount of equipment that covers the most about of conditions that you might see, thats where i thought about the mars and how you can really change the cover stock to match up better with a pattern to where the natural could leave a bigger gap when dropping down to it

Rogue
Nomad
Neptune
I like the thought of solids as get smoother reads with them. Can put a touch of polish on the Nomad and should cover a wide variety of conditions. With the touch of polish will take the front part of the lane out til it really gets burned up.
If going with a 5 ball....
Rogue
Cell Pearl
Nomad
Mars (Nomad Pearl)
Neptune
Strong 5 ball lineup that will be able to handle anything thrown at you...
Hope this helps!
