X-Factor reloaded vs. Roto-Grip Fuel
« on: June 26, 2003, 11:55:58 PM »
Looking for a heavy oil ball.  I bowl in a house that has oil that seems to be straight across flooded.  Tried a trauma response drilled with the pin under the ring finger and the ball has problems hooking in. I can occasionally get the ball to the pocket but find it very inconsistent.  I've done some research on both the reloaded and the fuel and they look to be similar in reaction.  Which one should I get and why??? Need some advice.

RR,
First off nothing really hooks in a flood.....that being said......

Although the RE-Loaded has a lot of backend and a nice core, it's s particle pearl ball and routinely isn't for true HEAVY oil....maybe medium heavy, but not heavy.

I have the Fuel.....and it's RotoGrips heavy oil ball.  I'm sure Roger will chime in here too (Mustang Guy) but my Fuel is drilled 4 strong and gives me a great read on anything from fresh mediums to heavy headed longer and sloppier patterns.  Great length for a particle ball, great midlane and backend as well.

The Fuel would be my choice if you're looking for a heavy oil ball.

Thanks Jeff for your kind reply....and insight into the technology side of the issue....I will take your recommendation in mind...... Out of the three...Top fuel, the original Fuel and the new one coming in July, the Pure Fuel...which would be your choice????.....again thanks for your help.

Jeffreys nailed it, there is no ball that gives great hook on oil. I love my STORMs' but I have a recommondation for you to think about. If you are talking oil, Mo-Rich Colossus. I had and Ebonite head tell me that ball out hooks their V2 5 boards when the lanes are wet. Mo's cores tend to lend a rolling hand. Do some research and see if it fits what you want.

Good luck!

If you're looking for heavier/longer patterns.......the original Fuel by far is the right choice.  However, if your ballspeed is slower, the Top Fuel may work as well.....but I don't know that....you haven't filled in a profile !
