Roto Grip

Bowling... that great pastime that allows people of all ages to energetically toss a bowling ball down the lane to knock down ten bowling pins. This has by far become one of the most sought after stress relieving games in the world.

The great part about bowling, when compared to other sport activities is that it's relatively inexpensive to start and maintain. There aren't many sports that supply you with the equipment needed to play the game. With bowling you can choose to use bowling alley balls and rental shoes or purchase your own.

If you're going to be serious about bowling, I suggest you invest in your own equipment. This can cost you from just a few dollars to a couple of hundred depending mainly on the type of ball you decide to purchase.

Bowling balls are always a hot topic among league bowlers, as well as novice players, when in search of a new ball. The question is always "what ball should I get?" Hopefully I can shed some light on that question.

Bowling balls are spherical balls with three finger holes drilled into them to form what looks like a triangle. Bowling balls usually range in weight from 6 to 16 pounds. Bowling balls are customized in appearance for the bowler as well. They often have unique color blends, artwork, or logos to personalize them.

Urethane balls perform best in dry lane conditions but if you're a league bowler more often than not, the lanes are not dry. Urethane balls can also be polished or sanded down to increase or decrease the balls hook potential with polished balls hooking less and sanded balls hooking more.

A resin ball is more "tacky", which increases the balls grip on the bowling lane and will hook "harder" which another term for quicker. Reactive balls give you a "skid-snap" reaction.

Plastic is the most common material found at bowling alleys. They are generally the most affordable and provide the least amount of friction which makes them the ball of choice for league bowler when shooting spares. This way, the ball will not hook away from their intended target on spares.

How a ball is drilled will also affect what it does on the bowling alley. Where the holes are drilled in relation to the balls core can make a ball hook sooner or later down the alley. This is where a professional bowling ball driller can be of great help in deciding where you need the holes drilled based on the type of bowler you are.

Some bowlers throw very hard and fast, while others try to be more precise and slower. Therefore, your style of bowling can determine how your ball gets drilled and what type of ball you need.

There are many types of bowling balls from various manufacturers so the decision on which ball to get could be a difficult one. If you're new to bowling, this is where a professional ball driller can be helpful as well as asking more advanced bowlers at your bowling alley.

Roto Grip Dark Star Bowling Balls $89.99 Value and Performance have always been synonymous with the Roto Grip brand, and the all new Dark Star stands to continue that tradition.Our first goal was to develop a stronger Shield Line ball to fit into the Roto Grip line. The team felt that there was too big of a gap between the Nomads and the Planet series balls. The intent was to create more mid-lane read with stronger backend motion, so we developed the Photon Core with a lower RG value and a higher differential.To enhance this core motion we also added the Ultimate Vision pearl coverstock to this ball. This performance proven coverstock found on the Epic and Illusion series of balls. It boasts a higher coefficient of friction and surface texture for added traction in the oil and superior backend performance.This combination of core and coverstock was the ideal fit into the line. Our tests showed that it filled the gap between the Nomads and the Planet series balls perfectly.Product Type: Bowling Balls Type: Bowling Balls Size: 16 Pounds Color: Orange Color Mapping: Orange Coverstock: Reactive Resin Performance: Advanced Performance Core Type: Symmetric Finish: Polished

Roto Grip Mutant Cell Bowling Balls $134.99 The Evolution of Technology has Mutated! Introducing the Roto Grip Mutant Cell. The success of the Cell series continues to grow, and so does the technology involved in the newest edition. The signature touch to the line has been its continuous motion and versatility. This stems from the Nucleus core and its unique shape. This asymmetrical part maintains its dynamic integrity and differential value after drilling better than any other ball on the market.Our intent was to utilize this same premise in the newly designed Nucleus II core. We have strategically removed mass along the axes of the core to increase the intermediate differential or mass bias strength. This translates into a quicker revving part along with increased motion potential down the lane. The final touch is the utilization of the Cytoplasmic XL solid reactive coverstock. This second generation coverstock has an extreme amount of surface topography (Ra value). This means more friction from foul line through the pin deck.The Evolution of Technol Type: Bowling Balls Size: 12 Pounds Color: Multi-Color Color Mapping: Multi-Color Coverstock: Reactive Resin Performance: Pro Performance Core Type: Asymmetric Finish: Sanded
