Roto Grip Mars Review

[Cory Rockteschel]

I drilled the Mars to be used on short sport patterns. I drilled it 40x6x60. The tall that I drilled has a 2.5” pin. This layout put the pin just to the left of my middle finger. This Mars reacts just like I wanted and predicted it would. It does not hook immediately upon leaving the oiled part of the lanes. It makes a controlled move to the pocket and still hits with power. I threw the ball on the cheetah pattern. I played 4 board at the arrows and was standing on the 17th board with the center of my left foot. The ball made a predictable smooth motion to the pocket. The only drawback was the drilling. If I got lazy I did not get the ball to finish.
The Mars in my opinion will be an excellent ball for the beginning bowler looking for an entry level performance ball or for the experience tournament bowler looking for a good ball for light oil.
