1-Odyssey or RSP
2- Saga
3- Like the looks of the Illusion
4-Horizon solid or Battle
5- Mystic

This is hard!!!
In no particular order:


Horizon Solid - Great ball for volumes of oil and reliable finish and hit. (Shot a Sport Condition 300)

Original Silver Streak Solid - I cannot say enough.

Battle - Ground breaking performance!! Still unique in reaction.

Neptune - Saying entry performance does not come close to describing this ball.

SD-73 - All models.  Massively strong motor huge flare.

I threw the original Silver Streak (Rubber) X2 X3 RC5 Blue ROto

Good One!

1. Venus (versatility)
2. Mystic (ths & medium patterns)
3. Horizon (ths god)
4. Epic Battle (holy roller)(strong asymmetrical)
5. Epic Saga (inside lines, this asymmetrical is strong; not too effective on outside of 15 (=too strong), unless there is quite a bit of oil)

I'm new to Roto-Grip, but here is my list:

1.  SD-73 Classic - Ball is incredible.  I'll stock up on these before production ends.

2.  Saturn - Hard to believe the performance level for the price.  Just bought my second one.

3.  Horizon Solid - Used on PBA shots and THS.  Coverstock takes changes very well.  Great benchmark ball.

4.  Battle - Great oiler.

5.  Venus - Great performance for the price.

Here's my choices

1) Original Epic - pins have no chance against this ball.  It makes a hack like me look good!  I have several hundred games on mine and it's as good now as it was the first time down the lane.  

2) Battle - Oil?  What oil?  This ball would hook on a hockey rink and carries everything

3) Horizon - Great ball, great price, what else could you ask for?

4) Saga - Nice core/cover combo and hits like everything else in the Epic line.

5) Mercury - An often underrated ball thats great for when the lanes start to dry out.

I haven't tried the new Quest but given the fact that I love the original Epic core and the Battle has been money for me I can only imagine how the Quest would be.  Unfortunately I haven't seen any oil on the lanes I bowl on in a long time so I haven't been able to justify buying a heavy oil ball.  I've got some tournaments coming up after the first of the year so I may have one in my bag before then.
