Layout 55 x 4 1/2 x 70.
I drilled this ball using a 55 x 4 1/2 x 70 dual angle layout. This puts the pin below my ring finger with the cg kicked out. After throwing this ball for the first time all I could say is WOW! Even with this layout the UpRoar made an amazing move off the spot. On the house shot I could move as far left as I wanted and this ball would get down the lane and go left.
When I drilled this ball I was under the impression that I would be able to begin moving back to the right when things broke down. The great thing about the UpRoar is that I really do not have to move right. If I am throwing a stronger piece of equipment and it just becomes overly aggressive, the UpRoar allows me to stay in the same spot and keep on going.
Here is an example. I was throwing a Hyper Cell at 3000 grit. After about a game the Cell was just too much ball. I decided to move right and throw the UpRoar. First ball BOOM Solid 9 pin. After a few frames I was throwing the UpRoar from the same spot as the Hyper Cell and it was great.
The UpRoar pushes down the lane with ease. Don't let the HP2 rating fool you because this ball does move. If you are looking for a ball to use later in blocks or if you have problems getting some of the more aggressive balls to get down the lane this is a ball you should consider.
OOB surface on the UpRoar is 1500 Polished. The UpRoar did roll good with this surface but seemed to go a little bit long for me. I hit the ball with a 2000 grit pad to get rid of some of the polish and this ball came to life for me. It also made this ball very forgiving.
The following video shows the UpRoar compared to the Asylum. This was done after a few games on the pattern and before I changed the surface on the ball.
