I was wondering if you guys think that the Roto-Grip Neptune would be a good ball for tournaments when the lanes are really dry? thanks

really dry

Hello Aaron. There are several problems with this phrase that without additional information it will be hard for us to help. Here are some questions that may help you give us more info:

a) Where is it dry? Is it hooking too early? Too much downlane? What other balls have you tried on this condition? Did you try extreme parts of the lane like 5th and 6th arrow?
b) What are your ball specs? Speed? Revs? Tilt?

The Neptune is a very clean ball, but still has a somewhat strong cover. It's definitely the weakest ball Roto has but it still may be too much ball if you're talking the 10th game on an old wooden house where you would need to shy away from resin all together. But it's a great ball when the lanes have broken down, especially in the heads and mids because of the low flare. Much more length than the Horizon series and Epic series.

I think that if you provide a little more info we'll be glad to give you more insight.

If you bowl on wood lanes with gaurdian heads, this ball is money. I even used it on the PBA Shark pattern last week and shot over 200 every game I used it. I have also used it in second shift tournaments with up to 12 games bowled on them and this ball gave me a great look on the lanes. For the money, if you have average to above average revs, this ball is the best ball you can buy.
