The Roto Grip Unhinged is the smoothest symmetrical pearl I have ever rolled. I use the Storm VLS software to come up with my layouts which have been working great and for this one the pin is left of my ring finger with the cg out a little bit straight down with the pin with no hole. I kept the factory finish on it which is 1500 polish and so far won’t change the surface because it rolls like it should. It is awesome on a house shot when there is a lot of high friction on the outside and need something that is not going to make sharp turn. Comparing it to the Roto Grip Hysteria that is in the same line up the Hysteria has much back end motion for it being a solid and the Unhinged is much smoother for being a pearl. Typically you would see the solids being smoother and pearls stronger on the back end but it is the opposite with these 2 which have been great.
My experience with the Unhinged has been superb mostly on shorter sport patterns that need control but still need to get down lane. Shorter patterns normally I would have to stand left and go up around 6-8 board with a surfaced ball to help tame the back ends which I love BUT the Unhinged gives me another look to where I could actually stand in the same spot with my feet as a surfaced ball which would be around 13 and get a similar look OR I could stand a little more right when needed especially when it breaks down. Have not had great success with it on longer oily patterns which makes sense for it so for me anything around 36 to 41 feet which is short to a house shot would tremendously. For a pearl for me it is pretty versatile for me and still stays smooth overall on multiple patterns and situations.
