Roto Grip Winner Ball Review
Layout: 65 degrees x 5 1/2" pin x 40 degrees Weight hole: Not required Surface: 1500 grit polished What I wanted from this ball: With the Intense Fire in place to cover the medium oil range that I see in most of my league and practice sessions, I wanted a ball that would clear the midlane with less effort, while still retaining a very strong backend motion.

I was hoping this would be my middle of the road, everyday league ball. I wanted it to be something I could throw on a pretty wide variety of conditions, with a fair amount of backend movement. This is a pretty standard layout for "everyday" ball motion for me. What I ended up with in this ball
