Yep,me again,this I’m giving a review on the Roto Grip Fuel.The first one!Anywho, I actually got this 2 months ago.I didn’t review it,because I hadn’t become a member as of yet.Here we go,this ball was bought used.This RG fuel of mine was dull,not a polished one.I had this REDRILLED a 1/2â€inch ABOVE were the “original guys†layout was.Mine was the semi usual Low RG strong layout,but this time the 1/4â€inch shorter than my usual too.Well its my fault for coming in 10 minutes before a pro shop closes,bonehead me.I guess he was in a hurry.it looked kinda odd,but I don’t feel like replugging it again,later I explain why.I’ll give you all the “Reader’s Digest versionâ€.Actually the very first time I threw thing,It was cool.Heck man!I was glad he goofed the 1/4"inch,this ball works real well with our friend the OIL!Ya throw it out,this thing rolls and rolls and then breaks(in a rolling ways).As if someone behind me had a “remote controlâ€.I had some good 200’s,nothing over 235,but I was ok with my RG!I bowl a few more times within a week and half,same thing!
Darn it!!I forgot the oil stats,here again,didn't I!!That first night was med/heavy oil,these more recent nights were lighter oil.Ok,I was bowling good,NOW the NEW thing I’ve noticed was this Fuel is like an OIL VACUUM ball.They tire you out when the lane dries up a little,so I had to throw it a little harder and faster.Man,I thought my S-Freak got me tired!Oooooooooooooooff!I get splits too!Annnn,no big,that is why I bring other balls.That day was OK.I bowled only one 200 that night,no biggie.Well another test night(TONIGHT,about three hours ago,July 7th)yesterdays kind.I bowled with this again.Medium oil with weird oil splotches.I was told a league was here earlier.Ok,fine,Like I said before this ball works really well with oil and it did it again tonight(July 7th),ur,a,for a awhile.
Doogone if that RG didn’t vacuum up the last of the oil.So from now one if the lane starts drying up or I see myself getting tired.I’ll just get a DRY ball or L-oil ball to save my strength for another time.My N-hawk M2 saved me from embarrassing dryness!!Overall rating “ A-“.It’s a GREAT ball,just keep it the bag for oily days or nights and YOUâ€LL BE fine.OH YEAH ALSO INVEST IN A LIGHTER ONE TOO,say ya bowl a "16",use a "15" or "14".Its up to you.I used to have a Top Fuel,but I had a Wrong leverage mistake on it and I sold it the same night,NO REVIEW there,until I buy a brand new one,then I’ll think about. (I know,I know,my drillboy drills or replugs my stuff at least twice a week).On this its my fault too.I have ta remember to take my time when selecting a GOOD leverage shot!Also get to that darn pro shop an hour before they close or earlier.Be cool everyone at B-ball Reviews,I’m gonna go ta Lulabyland now!!
