Do you think the Neptune could also be the ball that fit the spot for a short pattern too?
I bowled fairly well on the longer sport patterns last year and struggled on the shorter ones like the Cheetah. I also recently bowled in a tournament with 36' of oil with anything outside 5 board was OOB (different than what I experienced with the Sports league). My first game was usually respectable but as we moved pairs, I started to struggle again.
By the numbers, I thought the Venus would be the one for short and light/dry but it actually seemed to start up sooner than my Mystic. The backend isn't as strong as the Mystic but total boards covered is pretty close.
This weekend, I tried adjusting the cover on the Venus to 4000 (by hand) and adding Bean's sauce hoping to see a longer look and still keep the smooth arc but the adjustment changed the backend reaction to make it roll similiar to my Mystic (but 3-4 boards weaker). Is there a different cover adjustment I could try on the Venus, or would getting the Neptune help fill out that spot in my arsenal?

Also there is one house I bowl at there are times where they don't properly clean and strip the lanes, would the lower diff help with that too??

- What is the drilling?
- What is your ball speed?
- Is the cover still Out of the Box and what reaction are you seeing with it now?

I do not have any experience with this ball but reading about it and watching the ball used in league (in box and polished), I would think that adjusting the cover on your Pluto would not help it for dry lanes but then again more information would be helpful.

Why this wasnt released in the USA is what I would like to know !
I Emailed Roto and they said that there is no way to get this in the US
Pretty equal to a Power Groove or a Tornado !
