What new ROTO release are you planning on getting? I have a BERSERK and a SHATTER on order.
-
My pro shop will be holding a Shatter for me as soon as they arrive.
-
I might look at a Berserk to add something cleaner up front and longer length with my mediums. I may also potentially look at a Critical Theory if I decide to sell off my 919C, Hy-Road, and Vital Energy. I'm thinking that that along with my Rogue Cell and Defiant will give me a complete line for medium-heavy to heavy.

hey tommyboy74 - I would also look at a BANDIT for length. also another gem to check out is the RISING STAR.

I have thrown the Rising Star and it is a great ball. That would definitely be on the short list. Only reason that was kicked out of the arsenal was when I made the move to 16 from 15, and wanted to explore some options with EBI. But, I have found myself throwing my Roto gear more than my EBI stuff. I think overall, I just match up better.
The Bandit- I hadn't really thought about it that much actually. Historically, I haven't matched up well with pearl covers for some reason. Yet, the hybrids do a great job for me. But, I have seen what the Bandit can do and it could be a good option. Also, I could always change surfaces if need be to get the best reaction.

tommyboy74 --- I would defiantly add the RISING STAR in a 15lb -- its been my go to ball -- along with my CRITICAL THEORY. What I would do if I were you is check and see if there is a STORM/ROTO demo coming to your area, then you can try out the pearls, maybee they will have the CT and the BANDIT for you to throw. You cant go wrong with any pick in my opinion, from these mentioned. ROTO is KING.

I drilled one of each: Scout, Scream, Shattered, and Berserk... I LOVED the Berserk and Shout the most so far, but once I get into more tournament play and bowled at different centers, I will loved them all... Drilled the SCREAM and Shattered for Hanover Bowling Centre and Gilly's and the leagues there did not start yet, but did practice at HBC with them and I loved them even with only 4-6 games on each of them on fresh and used THS..

Getting an edge on wednesday...wont punch it up for a few weeks tho. (and a storm vivid!)
-
The Shatter looks like a good ball, and I really want to pick up an Edge. My Mutant Cell Pearl was just punched, and that ball is a beast.

We test a lot of balls, but I'm actually keeping the Critical Theory and Berserk in my arsenal this year.
I'm also considering a Rising Star. They are just perfect compliments to each other. Then if you like a different look, you can fit some of Storm's stuff in between.
For example, I have a Nano which sits at the top of the arsenal and a Hy-Road which is between the Critical and Berserk. I also have a Tropical Heat Hybrid underneath the Berserk.
I do have a couple of non-Storm/Roto stuff in the bag, but might bench them with how well the arsenal is shaping up.
