Roto Grip Pluto Bowling Ball

I laid this ball out with no side and about a quarter ounce of finger with the pin 1.5 inches from my PAP. I did that to keep the ball stable, readable and controllable when playing straighter on the lane, which worked, but the problem was that the cover was too strong to play straight up even when I back out of it a bit. That much was probably my fault. I would say that one definite advantage to this ball (and the entire Planet Line in general) is that you get a relatively large amount of hook at a very affordable price point. You also get the stability and readability of a symmetrical core, which I'm always a fan of.

The ball is drilled with the pin under the ring finger and the CG kicked out to the leverage position. There is a weight hole low along the VAL. I have used this ball on all sorts of house shots so far with nothing but great things from it. If the lanes are broken down the ball seems to roll without over reacting. If the lanes are a little wetter the ball stores up energy and then explodes through the deck. I was able to play two separate lane conditions (during re-oiling) with only a five board foot movement and three board spot movement. This ball isn't for heavy oil just a normal house shot that every house in the area seems to put down. I have had a couple 700's with it and the rest were all 650+. Wonderful ball!!

Ball specs – 15 lbs 2 oz, 3.12 top weight, and 2.75-inch pin. Using the dual angle method, the Pluto was drilled with a 5-inch pin, 35-degree drill angle and a 70-degree VAL angle. This put the pin just under the fingers on the grip center line and the un-marked mass bias ¾ of and inch right of the VAL. The CG ended up half way between the grip centerline and the VAL. This CG placement made an X-hole required and it was placed on the VAL, 1 1/8 inches below the PAP. Polish was applied to the 2000 abralon factory finish. I wanted a ball to complement the Neptune, which is very clean and strong (please see my previous Neptune review for specifics) on medium to drier conditions. I was looking for the Pluto to provide good length with a smoother backend reaction for broken down conditions or later in the day tournament conditions where you still have an oil line deep and bounce to the right of it. The polished Pluto gave me the easy length and smooth but continuous backend I wa

Great ball for first time reactive buyers. The 2000 Abralon will give them a little surface for the front part of a medium oil house shot compared to the Neptune. Good complement to the Venus. Orbiter core is quite strong. I drilled mine with a 3" Pin/Pap label drill, no hole, box surface. On the house shot leftovers, I was able to play out in the dry with an up the back release and more speed. I could move in on the oil to dry and get the ball to hook and hit with power using medium speed. SenorRotoGrip
