The new Roto Grip All Out Show Off continues the trend of Roto balls that climb out of their Performance Category and Price Point. This HP2 release, like it's solid counterpart, is a ton of ball for the price. The change in motion with the change of cover gives you the same great performance and value and lets you tackle additional conditions.
The All Out features the same great Hotshot symmetric core as the original Show off. The Hot Shot "was designed to provide length and down lane motion". The biggest suprise for me about the Show Off, aside from it's overall strength, was the down-lane motion you got despite the solid cover. The Hybrid version of the Stoked cover is even cleaner, but the solid load in the mix will "provide super stability on the backend off friction". The result is great ball motion and plenty of pop going through the pins.
I tested the All Out Show off on a High Volume 41 foot blended house pattern. The Ratio is a bit lower so there is plenty of OB. The lane surface is still very new Pro-Lane. It was the first night on the lengthened pattern and I threw a few test shots with my Dare Devil Danger first. After seeing how slow the back-ends were, I switched to the All Out Show Off and pushed the ball up the oil line. It reacted beautifully. Keeping my angle straighter through the front I could get closer to the friction and let the great continuation of the ball do the work in the back-end. It didn't disappoint. Watching everyone else on the pair shake their heads as their ball slide through the pocket without creating angle while I had area and could still put ten in the pit even on my misses left was alot of fun. This ball stores energy and it was apparent right away that I had something no one else did. It was a bit surprising how much I got out of this ball. I could have easily gone to anything top line, but I got plenty out of the All Out.
