Shout Blue/Orange

Thanks for reading all and as always the video link associated with this review is here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUfI3mgj8Ds&feature=bf_prev&list=UUUdapKcbpNzp3PGwdo7P6GQ Rotogrip Shout is a great entry level addition. This ball drilled with 55 x 4 x 50 layout for me is in the bag all the time for me. When things get squirrly for me on the lane I can pick up the Shout and push the ball based on my ball speed through the chewed up section of oil or hook around it easily. The Core is a modification of the Rising star Shooting star and the SHatter. Changing densities has allowed Rotogrip to make a ball that can be used for multiple skill levels and multiple games. Surface changes are easy and last a long time with this ball. Box this ball comes polished but I have used it box surface and scuffed surfaces on cheetah, viper and chameleon. The core just enhances the natural rotation put on the ball and when it encounters friction you can see how the ball picks up slowly and turns the corner rather than jumping off the spot.Great ball for the money and its not leaving my corner anytime soon.

Ball specs – 15 lbs 2 oz, 2.89 top weight, 3 1/2-inch pin. The Shout, which is a polished solid, was drilled using the dual angle method. The layout is a 4 inch pin, 50-degree drill angle and a 70-degree VAL angle. An x-hole was placed in the P3 location. Using Storm’s layout terminology the layout would be 4 by 4 3/8 with a 3 5/8 pin buffer. The cover was left OOB which is 1500 polished. The pattern bowled on was a 41 foot, 24 micro-liter broken down house condition. I had used a Defiant Edge and a Berserk earlier and was playing around 22 with them. With the HP1 Shout I was able to move my feet 10 right and my target 5 right to get closer to the friction and get to the pocket. The Shout was very clean through the fronts even on the broken down pattern. The Shout made a smooth, predictable move off the friction into the pocket. The hit and carry, especially on light hits was well above my expectations based on my experience with the Roto Grip planet balls. Compared to the Scream the Shout was a little earlier and smoother off the break point. The overall all hook was about the same as the Scream, just a different motion. The new Roto Grip HP1 lineup of the Shout and Scream will provide additional ball choices and motions for those lighter oil or broken down conditions. John Brodersen RG amateur staff

ROTO GRIP SHOUT I TOOK THIS BALL TO A SLIGHTLY USED LANE (39' HOUSE SHOT) AND STARTED OFF GOING UP THE BOARDS USING FIFTH BOARD AS MY BREAK POINT..STARTING THE BALL AROUND THE TENTH BOARD AND GOING OUT TO FIVE. THE BALL JUST ROLLED FOR ABOUT 37' THEN MADE A BIG ARCING MOVE TO THE POCKET. IT WAS KICKING 10 PINS TO THE MIDDLE. PLENTY OF HIT FROM THIS ONE. FOR ME ON A FRESH LANE, I'M GOING TO CHANGE THE SURFACE A LITTLE AND TRY IT THEN. ON THE FRESH LANE FOR ME, IT WAS A LITTLE SPEED SENSITIVE. SO AFTER I CHANGE THE SURFACE I'LL POST MY FINDINGS.
