Roto, did you change the cover formulations for the 05 batches?
« on: June 02, 2005, 02:24:05 AM »
It seems like the 05 batch of balls are much more aggressive than the older pours.  Namely the Retro Ressurection and the Super Sonic.  Was the cover formulation changed a bit?  Or is it just "New Ball Syndrome"?  The newer pours of the Super Sonic and Retro Ressurection are SUPER AGGRESSIVE off the turn, much more so than they used to seem to be, or is this just a product of changing oils and conditions?  FYI, I haven't seen this in just one house, probaly 4 or 5 houses with distinctly different surfaces, conditions(1 ABC tournament condition), and characteristics.

...just wanna know

There has been a few questions raised about the 2005 balls produced by Roto
Grip and how they seem to react differently.  Some say they are a bit stronger than the previous bowling balls.  The reason this may have happened is due to us switching the dyes we are using on the balls for color.  We switched vendors of dyes this year and it looks as though these new dyes seem to give us a cleaner reactive coverstock.  This is the only explanation I can give for the difference in ball reaction.  All quality checks are the same (hardness,porosity, friction).  Also, we are constantly  improving our production quality in the plant.  A little more hook is not a bad thing.  Thanks again for all your support.
