I can't tell where the review part happened.

Wow, did he just cut and paste from rotogrip's site? Maybe he's on roto's marketing team.

Yeah, why guys gotta put all that company jargon stuff, that's right at the top anyway, into their review is beyond me....  We already know or can see that stuff.  And then it's just an endorsement at the end, not a review....  & for the record, I like "ole rerack", so this isn't a slam on him only, it's a slam on all of these types of "reviews"... I don't mind their opinion/endorsement at the end of an "in depth review".  I love my Virtual Gravity & have used it on all conditions, but somehow I don't think that would make an "in depth review" either.

If you look back every review he has done is basically a cut and paste from the ball companies website

LOL.....I just got done reading that and was thinking the same thing. I could have gotten most of that from the website.

Willie is staffed with Visionary, so I don't know why he would be posting stuff for RG

I'm in the process of trying to find out where I fit in the bowling world. I do not know my tech specs of my game, but it's all a learning process.
