your best ever ROTO GRIP ball?
« on: February 25, 2012, 01:31:12 AM »
The title speaks for itself. what do you think is the best ROTO ball ( so far ) past / present and why? I have recently started to use Roto so my pick is the CRITICAL THEORY -  very consistant, seems to be my go to ball most of the time. I have 2 Criticals with different layouts. The RISING STAR is just as good as well so I may have to say both are the best.

The best "house shot" RG ball, and I have thrown everything since the the Nomad series, has got to be the Nomad Dagger...Pin-Up ;)

Heavy: RG Theory, RG Rogue Cell, Storm Virtual Gravity
Medium: RG Nomad Dagger, RG Bandit, Storm Marvel
Light: RG Rising Star

Mine has to be either the Pluto, or the Cell. Both have been my go to balls in the past. That job is not being filled by a Storm Tropical Heat though.
Always be sincere, even when you don't mean it.

I would have to say the original Cell...with the Rogue Cell coming in a close second. I shot all my honor scores and career bests with those balls. I wouldn't mind a reissue of the Cell Pearl, never had the pleasure of throwing that gem.

I had to come back to my own post and update it. I still do love the Rising Star, but since the release of the DEFIANT EDGE and the BERSERK I might have some second thoughts, I also cant forget about my CRITICAL THEORY either. I guess its pretty hard to pick just one because ROTO makes so many great balls!

Ive had good success with an Apocalypse back in day...  Since then the other good stuff was 2 mutant cells. pin up (skid flip surface at 5000 ish by hand) and pin Next to ring (stacked leverage). Grabbed a mutant cell pearl (pin down) and loved that ball the for the first 40ish games!  Touched up the cover and lost reaction. Have tried about 5 or 6 grits/polish , even no polish.  Nothing has really seem to give a good reaction.
Got a defiant when if first came out, first game was a 300, 279, 201 and 244 in a local tourny.  Dont use the defiant much due to the lack of volume around here.. Lol. Tho when it doenst finish, i touch it up by hand with a used 2000 abralon. Brings it right back to life!!

It's always been the Original Cell, but the Critical Theory is really beginning to  grow on me.
