What ball will fit?
« on: March 12, 2013, 02:01:51 PM »
So I'm looking for a Roto that will fit a hole in my bag. I currently have a Defiant Soul, Pink Panther, and Misfit Pearl.

The Defiant Soul and Pink Panther have similar hook potential, drastically different shapes. The misfit pearl is a great ball once the lanes are broken down or the heads blown, giving me a nice skid-flip reaction on drier conditions.

What I'm looking for is something that fits between the Defiant Soul/Pink Panther and the Misfit. I have an idea that the Wrecker might be the answer. I think the Shatter would be too close to the Misfit, and the Disturbed too close to the Panther.

For those of you who have thrown some of these balls, am I on the right track? Lmk what you think.

I would say the berserk would be your best choice for roto grip. The wrecker has not given me a consistent roll since I bought it. Since then, I've been using my frantic, which has never been over and under. But to me, your best option would be the tropical heat black/purple hybrid. And I would also say the fore road after a 3000 surface change. These two would fit nicely in your hole. Question is,what reaction to you want?

What reaction shape are you looking for? There are several balls between these balls in total hook but they would give you a very different look. If you are looking for something to skid I would go with a Shatter but if you are looking for something a little smoother maybe a Wrecker or even a Disturbed with some polish. So it really comes down to what shape you want.

The wrecker has given me a great look after my hyr-road has broken down the pattern. However, my hyroad is at about 4000. I still have a hard time with the transition because the wrecker is a stronger ball than advertised. I strongly advise a smoother drilling on that ball. This thing turns into a victory road when it drilled to have a strong drilling. However, im going to buy a scream for the transition i face.

I would look at the Berserk and if you can find one a Rising Star. also possibly a Defiant Edge may also work as well.

I like the Defiant edge pretty well.  Pearl surface gives me length, but it is still rolly, which I like in my game.
