FIGJAM: 836 w/ 300 with Wrecker
« on: January 07, 2016, 09:45:20 AM »
Just here for a little bit of FIGJAM. Managed to throw my first sanctioned 300 and 800 series with a Roto Grip Wrecker. Pretty unbelievable feeling.

Congratulations on your 300 game and 836 series.  I guess you were wrecking those pins that night.  :)

I've been considering trying this grip lately. How do you like it

I prefer it to full fingertip. People have a lot of different opinions on how the sarge easter grip alters one's bowling style, but in my experience, it does the following:

- Additional comfort with the hand and fingers
- May change axis rotation
- Change in ball revolutions. Since it takes the ring finger out of the equation, one has to utilize wrist motion more to create revs. But, in my experience, it's not difficult to maintain a high rev rate with the sarge easter grip
- Reduced pressure on ring finger; more pressure on middle finger

Hope that helps.

Congrats on a great night of bowling!! 

I know the right ball can make a big difference, but I really give most of the credit to the bowler.  He still has to find the right line, roll the ball great, and follow the shot as it transitions.  The Wrecker has been a good ball around here.
