Got a new Mystic.....
« on: May 26, 2007, 04:23:06 PM »
....and I love the ball.  I'm thinking of picking up 2 more.  I need something stronger and weaker than the Mystic.

I know nothing of the RotoGrip line-up as I got this ball as part of the Pro-Am tourney.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Venus, below the Mystic (it's for lighter oil, but being a particle pearl, it owill still hook nicely. Clears heads more easily than the Mystic and does not flip nearly as violently. Wonderful ball on medium light oil!)

Horizon solid, above the Mystic (it will handle more oil and hook earlier than the Mystic)

Odyssey will be 1/2 to 1 full step above the Horizon solid, if you want a MUCH stronger ball, but it has an asymmetric core; so an extra dose of care is needed to drill it correctly.

I don't have the Mystic, but I do have the Horizon Solid.  I would definitely pick this one up above the Mystic.  This is my first Roto-Grip ball and I must say I'm very impressed.  If you pick the HS up, I don't think you will be disappointed.  The Horizon Solid, Mystic, and Venus would make a good 3 ball arsenal.

A couple of votes for the Venus.  I do really like the particle pearl coverstock.  

I will also check out the Horizon Solid.  

Damn, I need to sell off a bunch of Brunswick balls now.  

The proshop I go to specializes in Roto-Grip.  They did such a great job on the Mystic for me.  Especially since I went back to "natural" (without grips and inserts).  It fits like a glove and ZERO thumb swelling after practice yesterday.

Well, I am gearing up for the upcoming Hawaii TV Bowling Season.

The tourney uses the PBA Senior oil patterns 1 through 5, 35 to 44 feet.  I believe I can match up to any of those patterns with the Mystic, Venus and Horizon Solid/Saga.

Unless you have any other suggestions.  I guess I should make a new video as to have an idea of how I roll.
