Because, unless its changed this season, Roto Grip equipment is not approved for use on the main PBA Tour.

It costs big bucks for companies to get on tour... Sounds like R-G prefers to stay grass roots as it provides them a healthy bottomline... just look at the line up they have built... Wow...

Mr. Ingraham is correct.  We are a grassroots sponsor of the PBA tour and have been the last two seasons.  The price the PBA demmands from the manufacturers is extremely over priced and requires to much of our budget for what you get in return.  Not a smart investment.  By going grassroots it has allowed us to help support the pro shops more who do sell our equipment, which the PBA does not.  

We are looking at possibly being involved on the 2007-08 PBA tour season.  

More to come later...
