First Time w/ Roto Grip - What should I drill up?
« on: April 07, 2007, 06:16:30 AM »
Hey folks,

I have heard you Roto Grip'ers are one of the nicest people when coming for suggestions, well, I think I am going to need some of it. I am really looking in to drilling up something Roto Grip. I am interested in the Epic Saga, because it has a higher hook rating, good off of break point, and is pretty versatile. Now my question is, is there anything better than this ball I can drill up? Here is my arsenal as of right now:

Storm Special Agent - Heavy
Brunswick Vapor Zone - Heavy to Medium
Hammer No Mercy - Medium
Ebonite Whirl Wind - Medium to Light
Brunswick Viz-A-Ball Spare

Now, I am fairly into very strong cores with very strong coverstocks. I am a high rev player, with 400+ RPM's, with some speed at 18-20 MPH. I am a Right Hander and can basically play any line I need to have.

I am looking for something I can crank, something that once it hits its break point, the ball just flat out moves. Is the Epic Saga the ball to go with by my specifications on what I want the ball to do?

Thanks folks, I really appriciate it.

Best comment in the thread.

Get the Neptune, Odyssey, Saga and SD73 and you can bin all that other stuff.

It will be tough to decide. I will most likely be getting rid of some balls soon, so hopefully I can bring in some of those. The SAGA still really is calling me. haha.

I would venture to say stay away from the Epic Line, unless your going to drill them reallllyyyy weak. Its not that these balls aren't great balls, because they are, but they don't need any help to hook. Norm Duke could throw one of these and look like Robert Smith. Having stated that, I think that with your hand it would make the ball roll up too soon.

So I would go with either the Mystic or SD-73 if you want something for more oil...and yes the SD-73 flares a lot, but it doesn't spin up as fast as the Odyssey and has a weaker coverstock.
 
Or Take a look at the Neptune or Saturn for something  a little weaker.
