 I know it’s been done here before, ,but not in awhile, maybe some of your favorites have changed with all the new pieces that have come out recently.My all-time favorite is still the outlaw, with the global assault second and third is the critical theory. Great old pieces.

Kind of a tie for me, but the original Cell and Cell Pearl

Aw man! So many great Roto Grip pieces! This is a hard one but I'll say:

Horizon, Nomad solid, and Outlaw!!

Even though I shot 300 with a Theory! Waited too long to get a Mystic and settled for the Horizon.

For me, it's the Nomad Dagger.  I still have one as a bail me out ball.

Honorable mentions would be the Defiant and the Rising Star.  The Defiant was a great heavy oil ball for me and loved how consistent it was.  The Rising Star was versatile and loved throwing that on a variety of patterns.

@Tommyboy74:

That Defiant series was really something! I should have archived each and every one of the balls they released in that series. I had a Defiant Edge that was the ONLY ball I could depend on, in a house that used heavy oil! Agreed! Those balls were very consistent.

Totally Defiant. I'm still holding out hope that they will bring back the Paragon core.

I feel your pain don. My critical theory cracked as well. Good luck finding another one (new) No ball hit harder than the CT for me as long as there was oil up front. Ball was a truck.

RSP, Particle Pearl. Had a 300/800 and a 299 before it cracked. :(
