The No Rules introduces a new coverstock and core to the HP4 line for Roto Grip.  With this ball I was expecting it to hook and was not disappointed.  I used a very versatile layout for this ball which allows me to play in the oil and slow down some to create angle or get firm, square up and go down the boards rather across them.  This ball is also is well receptive to surface change and polish.  if you want to had some length to the ball feel free to polish it or roll a touch earlier, then hit it with an abralon pad, there is no rules to surface changes on this ball to create the match up you want.  The color scheme and shelf appeal for this ball is outstanding.  Whatever you prefer if its performance or shelf appeal this ball is a sure winner.  Go visit your local pro shop and show everyone there is no rules to your game.  Roto Grip Own It. 

The No Rules is the latest ball released in the HP4 line of Roto Grip bowling balls. The No Rules has a new core called Chaotic, and an enhanced version of the micro-bite cover from the Hyper Cell called Micro DNA. This ball is bright with the neon orange, black, and neon green color combination. The No Rules is the replacement for the Hyper Cell in the HP4 line.


I drilled this No Rules with the same layout as my Hyper Cell, 3 ¾ x 6 ¼ x 2 ½. The Hyper Cell has been very good for me on heavier, flatter patterns, that I need a slow transition of my mass bias, as to not stand up too hard or too soon, which is why I tried the same layout on this No Rules. The No Rules stands up earlier, and has a stronger change of direction than the Hyper Cell. I have used the No Rules on many different patterns, with a few different surface changes. With this layout, my No Rules has actually been the best with about  500-1000 abralon on a long 51 foot medium volume pattern (the old TOC pattern), and to my surprise, highly polished and using a forward rolling release, on Cheetah. For my game, every time I have polished the Micro-bite, or in this case, the Micro DNA cover, I get a smooth transition on the backend of the lane. It doesn’t make the ball store all of it’s energy and go sideways, like a highly responsive reactive cover usually does for me.


For me, the No Rules gives me the best motion through the pins when I can keep it in front of me with moderate head belly. When I start giving away the pocket too much, the layout I choose tends to come in behind the head pin, and if I try to go too direct at the pocket, the No Rules stands up too hard and goes through the face on me. I believe this is why the No Rules has rolled best for me either highly polished on short patterns, or very dull on longer lighter patterns.


The No Rules has looked incredible for bowlers in my area that are more speed dominate, or bowlers bowling on very high volumes of oil. If you plan on bowling on some high volume patterns, and your current ball just isn’t making the corner, talk to your local pro shop operator about a Roto Grip No Rules, and OWN IT!

I drilled the first No Rules with fairly weak drilling. I was worried when I heard how much this ball hooked that it would flare out and stop downlane. My first impressions were, HOLY COW DOES THIS THING HOOK. Even with the lower flaring layout this ball makes a big move. I could throw it on the fresh and it only looked better as the lane broke down. I was surprised at the great pin action I saw later in the night when I first threw it in league. I moved about 25 boards over the course of the night and the ball just kept coming around. In houses that had more volume out the ball felt a little speed sensitive on the fresh. I quickly resolved to drill another No Rules stronger as I hadn't seen any signs of it rolling out in the friction.

BALL LAYOUT #2: Pin above and right of ring finger: 45 X 4 1/4 X 30

I wanted to see more flare on the second layout but still wanted a quick response to friction. This ball didn't disappoint. My first outing with the ball in league was in a house that is very tight on the outside part of the lane. A longer house shot with plenty of volume. This tends to force lower rev players left early because they cant get the ball back throwing up the outside. This ball had no problems picking up in the oil and getting back to the pocket. The best part was I was expecting to have to change balls when I was forced left but even with the early motion this ball didn't stop as I moved left.

In summary this ball is one of those special releases. It is super driller friendly and whatever you decide to do with the layout, this ball flat out HOOKS.
