Roto grip Riot is a Beast for the price!! (lengthy)
« on: February 26, 2010, 05:41:19 AM »
SPECS: please see profile
DRILLING: Rico
THOUGHTS: Tons of ball for the money!!

I got this ball and drilled it up Wednesday and took it with me to my morning league. Wood House 43 ft oil. Loaded in the middle tapered to the outside (Med-High scoring). I usually play around 12-7 at this center. I started there and I got way to much reaction so I ended up standing 25 going 17-10 and this ball never quit! The ball rolled outstanding and was very continuous throughout the pin deck!!

I go to my night league 2nd shift carrydown shot on Synthetics. Usually I can get in with a pearl drilled fairly strong. Anything solid wants to flatten out as it enters the pocket. We followed 2 teams rolling all plastic :-D so that makes for a mess. In practice I rolled my 2nd dimension (pin under), Hyroad (pin under) Reign and got some over/under due to what Im following. So my last ball in practice I went to the Riot and actually had to get deeper!! I stayed with this for all 4 games never lost reaction and surprisingly stayed super continuous. I ended up shooting 936 for 4 with it. Im very excited to roll it Monday on the Fresh.

OVERALL: Im very impressed Its not very often I can throw the same ball at the Wood House and the Synthetic House on a wednesday. Also this ball is a solid that seems to ignore carrydown which Im a huge fan of. Thanks for taking the time to read this I hope it helps. Ill be glad to answer any questions you may have.

How does this compare to the Storm Furious. I'm thinking of drilling one of these up but just got a Furious and didn't want them to overlap.

In the bag. Virtual Gravity, Virtual Energy, Nomad, Nomad Pearl, Furious.

I agree with TJ this is an incredibly strong ball for the pricepoint...We will be filming the videos for these this weekend.  TJ will be comparing the Dark Star and Riot to the Nomad Series and i will be comparing them to the Mars and Pluto.  We will also be rolling the dark star on viper and the riot on Shark plus doing some surface changes...so lots of information in video form is coming your way!
