Tommy D. is leaving Roto Grip?!?!?
« on: May 24, 2005, 12:57:10 AM »
Now mind you, I heard this through the bowling grapevine, so I have no idea if it is true or not. But I heard that he might be leaving RG because of some equipment issues or something like that. Has anyone heard any such rumor?

When you've moved up, moved back, adjusted left and right, cupped, flattened out, have thrown everyting in your arsenal, and the pins still don't cooperate, just say, "Aw to HELL with it!", and throw the ball!

I wouldn't put it past him, I know  a guy that was on staff that said that he just couldn't compete on the new Brunswick oil with the covers that RG is putting out, he said they just were aggresive enough.  I hope he stays though, thats my boy. But I always wondered what he would do with the discontiunuation of the Silver Streaks (Particle and Solid), those were his babies!!!  I dunno, we shall see.....

I think the Vision cover and the RSX cover are addressing those situations with the pba oils..........I think......

Wanted to get the Apoc and Retro Roto Blue after seeing what he did with them against PDW....Guess they weren't using Brunswick oil when he came in 2nd at the regional using his Apoc....

i dont think he is. I was talking to him yesterday and he was praising rottogrip. HE used his RS1 and RSx all the time. I really think it would be stupid for him to leav because we can expect to see great things from rotogrip/

I hope not he is good for Roto Grip and the game, I was hoping that they bring back the Silver Streaks Pearl, Particle and Solid there is no harm to bring back the best bowling ball that RG ever made.


Not going to happen, sorry to say.....HOWEVER.........

Roto "has" been known to 're-release' a special edition ball here and there...remember the SD-73 a couple years ago ?!  I hope they do this w/ the SS solid,.....that would be great!!
