Where's all the Pluto Reviews?
« on: February 08, 2008, 05:25:20 AM »
Just wanted to encourage some of you, especially the staff members, to post your reviews.

Seems like the Cell has the spotlight.

It has just come out. And, as a lower end ball, more people are likely to buy it, but fewer will "go crazy" about it, as it just goes about doing its job, like the Venus, another versatile winner.

I have one, and can't give a review after 2.5 games, but from what I see so far..it's good to go.  Once I get some more games on it, I'll post a review.

just me ,but i cant use this ball on burnt up shot. This ball in oob is way too strong for a dry lane ball. Maybe because of my lower ball speed but i need there to be some oil on the lanes . Its a good ball for med to light oil but no dry.

Yep, too strong OOB for a burnt shot...it easily handles medium conditions, even if it's not the biggest hooking ball in the world...

It was one of the favorite balls BJI tested for the Feb. issue. Very smooth rolling and very consistent on all test patterns. If you are a subscriber, you should be able to use your subscriber code (SOON!!!) to access the expanded reviews for that issue by Joey Cerar. All his reviews have video footage...so when the February ones are made available online, y'all should check it out!

Ok... Super quick review of the Pluto...

Most companies have very weak and basic balls as their entry level balls, but with Roto you are basicly getting another great ball for less money!

The Pluto really is quite aggressive... in box condition it can actually handle a lot of oil, and the roll is very heavy so carry is pretty good, especially for a "more basic" core.  Polish it at the Pluto gets decent length, but with the core and cover combo it still wants to read the midlane, and once it makes its move it rolls very heavily into the pins.

I recon that if this ball had a slightly lower RG so it revved up quicker it could easily pass for an upper-midline ball!

I drilled mine with almost a 6 inch pin to pap (pin up)distance and it just doesn't seem to have enough friction on the lane compared to my neptune drilled with a 5 inch pin to pap(pin up).  My Neptune's surface is at 2k and it's my #1 favorite ball for our leauge shot.  I've tryed the Pluto at 2k oob, and 360 plus beans and it just seems like it either doesn't want to finish strong enough or it wont hold the midlane.  I have alot more forgiveness with the Neptune.  Could anyone recommend a surface adjustment that might match up or should I get it redrilled with a 5 inch pin to pap.  I also had my driller add an x hole in the lower pos. thumb quadrant to hopefully add some track flare.
