Title: 5x3 layout Rogue Cell
Post by: rvolley35 on March 16, 2009, 06:32:21 AM

I just received my Rogue and wanted to confirm from you guys the reaction I should get.
My pap is 4 7/8" x 0 and used the 5x3 layout A. 3-3.5 pin with something like 2.4 oz top. Can't remember off hand
What type of reaction should I get.
Thanks for any input.

Your reaction will definitely depend on your speed, rev-rate and condition that you use it on.

If you are a stroker, I'd say you'll probably get a hockey shaped look, especially if you're in the 15-16mph range. The faster you throw, the more that bend will even out, to an arc-shaped look.

Hockey shaped look is skid-snap. If you want more of an arc drill with pin under fingers with  3" pin Buffer

What a beast!!! Threw it last night with my first ball Stone 8.
The reaction was just as you described, I wish I had a video-skidded right down then flipped(can actually see it) and left turn clyde.
Went through the carrydown with no problem and had success getting to the pocket consistantly. Best ball I've thrown by far. I stood in the same spot with my Lanemaster Sting to get a comparision and didn't even touch the pocket let alone the head pin.
All I can say is wow!
