Wreck-Em

Bowler: Keven Williams Hand: Left Speed: 18mph Rev Rate: 450rpm Pattern: Typical House Pattern The Root Grip Wreck-it and the Wreck-Em are amazing lower end bowling balls. Compared to the Wreck-it, the Wreck-em goes longer and snaps a bunch more. The Wreck-it rolls pretty early and is extremely smooth on the back. When the lanes get really burned up, The Wreck-Em is the perfect progression from the Wreck-it because it creates a much stronger backend motion. I can see starting with a Wreck-it and then going to Wreck-Em for the rest of the block when I need something to get the corners out late. This is a must have in your bag!

Rev Rate: 400 Ball Speed: 17.3 Axis Tilt: 7 Axis Rotation: 45* PAP: 3 3/4 horizontal, 7/8 up Layout: 30 x 4 x 50 First, let me say that I think I missed the layout on this one... For a pearl, the Wreck Em is a bit earlier that I had expected. I can get it through the fronts with no problem, but when it goes to make the turn, it seems to burn up fairly quickly. I am able to make the necessary moves to get it to the pocket, but it puts me quite a bit deeper than I would have anticipated. That said, I like this ball. I haven't been able to use it on anything other than our THS, but that has given me the information I need to determine when this ball will make the trip to tournaments. On the THS, it will encounter friction significantly sooner than it will on a sport pattern, so this ball should work quite well on mediums, I just haven't had the opportunity to try it as of yet. I look forward to putting the Wreck Em on some tournament patterns in the near future.

The Wreck-em has the same Neutron Core that was used in the Wrecker and Wreck-it, but uses the new Pumped pearl coverstock. I drilled my Wreck-em with a "Rico layout", which puts the pin in the center of my grip and kicks out the cg ~ 45* with a weight hole on my VAL. Right away I could tell that the Pumped pearl cover was very clean. The Wreck-em goes significantly longer down lane than the Wreck-it and even longer than the Dare Devil. Since I drilled this ball with a Rico layout it is a little smoother on the backend than most layouts would be, but mine still corners. I would compare the shape to the Storm Street Fight or a more angular Hectic. I have used the Wreck-em on a number of league patterns as well as many flatter sport patterns. The best look I have had with this ball has been on a house pattern when the oil in the front part of the lane had been chewed up a bit.

The Roto Grip Wreck Em is one of Roto Grips newest HP2 releases. This ball is covered with a 1500 grit polished cover called Pumped. The core is the Neutron Core found in the other Wrecker releases. I drilled mine with the pin to the right of my ring finger and the mass bias in my thumb. I wanted this ball to have a lower flare weaker reaction compared to my other equipment. This layout gives my Wreck Em a smooth motion off the break point. It also gives the ball a lot of length down lane which is what I wanted. This ball is great for house shots and a perfect bench mark ball in my eyes. I recommend the Wreck EM for house shots, shorter sport patterns and broken down medium and medium long patterns.

The Roto Grip Wreck-em is the pearl version of the Wrecker/Wreck-It balls in the HP2 line of bowling balls. The Wreck-Em uses the Pumped pearl cover combined with the same core as in the Wrecker and Wreck-It, called Neutron. The Neutron core has an RG of 2.55 and a differential of .042 in 15lb balls. The color combination of red/purple/ and white is distinctly different from the Wrecker and Wreck-It. I drilled the Wreck-Em 5 ¼ x 5 ½ x 2 ¼ , which puts the pin over my ring finger, and doesn't have a need for a balance hole. Comparing the Wreck-Em to my Hectic, the Wreck-Em revs up quicker, has a sharper change of direction, and covers more boards overall than the Hectic. The overall shape that I see out of the Wreck-Em, is a stronger version of my UpRoar. The Wreck-Em so far is my favorite compared to the Wrecker and Wreck-It, all three using the Neutron core. One benefit the Wreck-Em has over the Hectic, is the ability to really get in and cover some boards. I think bowlers who like to really wheel hooking lane conditions will like the Wreck-Em, rather than selecting a weaker ball to stay in a zone, because of the recovery the Wreck-Em provides. For me, the Wreck-Em works best when moving in on medium to medium-dry conditions. Heavier volumes of oil that would make me play much straighter on the lanes with the Wreck-Em, seems to give me a bit too much skid snap, and makes getting to the pocket a touch inconsistent. To be honest, I have had this same experience with all of the balls that have the Neutron core in them. For me, the best look is to cover some boards with the Neutron core balls. The Wreck-Em is a nice step down from the Dare Devil when the Dare Devil starts hooking too earlier, as it is cleaner and sharper. Thank you for taking the time to read my review of the Wreck-Em from Roto Grip.

The new Roto grip ball in the HP2 line is the Wreck-em. Same core as the Wreck-it and Wrecker (Neutron) with Pumped Pearl same cover on the Hustle (P/O/W). I drilled mine pin up stacked above my bridge, which this is strong pin for my PAP of 3 5/8's. I have thrown the Wreck-em on house and a couple sport patterns. For me I see it being cleaner through fronts than the wreck-it but with a little stronger ball motion when it sees friction. I have seen a lot of the PBA guys putting a little surface on the Wreck-em with great success. The wreck-em is a ball that allows you to have a lot of control and more of a direct line to the pocket. Great ball for all styles. PAP - 3 5/8 up 1 1/4 Speed - 16-17 Rev Rate - 400 Tilt - 15 degrees

The Wreck Em is yet another ball in Roto Grip's HP2 line that performs well above its price point. It feels like two different balls to me, it glides down the lane with ease like the Hywire, but when it hits the friction on the backend, it slows down and turns into the Daredevil. It's also remarkably consistent for how shockingly easy it gets its length. The overall reaction shape allows the Wreck Em to cover a lot of boards from deeper angles, or for straighter players to get both length and backend pop they may not usually get. The Wreck Em can compete with much higher dollar balls and is extremely versatile, there aren't many bowling styles I don't see benefiting from how it reacts, ESPECIALLY for the price, and continues the trend of the HP2 line being the best performance for the cost in the industry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMlXmfVKGHE

The newest addition to the HP2 line from RotoGrip is the Wreck-Em. The Wreck-Em has the Pumped Pearl Reactive Coverstock wrapped around the Neutron Core. This combination provides generous length with a drastic move on the backend. The layout I used in the Wreck-Em was a modified pin in the grip with the CG kicked out with a hole down. The reaction I got out of the Wreck-Em was stronger than expected. The Wreck-Em being a Pearl compared to the Wrecker and Wreck-It which are hybrids is simple more length than the Wreck-It with more backend motion and compared to the Wrecker is just readability. The Wrecker is the ball that went long and turn sideways on the backend... The Wreck-Em is very similar to that but the breakpoint and backend is more consistent and readable. Even with my low rev rate which around 300 I was able to continue to move left and as long as I hit the dry the Wreck-Em was wrecking the pins with authority. I can see the Wreck-Em being that ball on the second shift in league or that ball to go to late in a tournament. The Wreck-Em glides through the front part of the lane and is powerful enough to get around the corner. The addition of the Wreck-Em to the HP2 line has vastly improved versatility of the line.

Roto Grip Wreck-Em Ball Review by PJ Haggerty Most of you know how successful the Wrecker has been. It's been in production since 2012 and is still going strong. Since the Wrecker, we saw a solid version (Wreck-It) and now the Wreck-Em. The biggest difference with this one is the cover. The cover on the Wreck-Em features the new Pumped cover that we've seen on the Hustle balls, paired with the same Neutron core the Wrecker has had since day one. The Pumped cover creates more length and speeds up the response time as well. The one Wreck-Em I've drilled so far is mapped out as: 4 x 2 with a 1' hole on my axis. I've had a lot of success with this drilling in the Wrecker and Wreck-It and it continues in the Wreck-Em. I've also taken the surface to 2000 by hand to smooth out the reaction, make it read the lane a touch sooner, and make it more controllable. If you need a ball for dry lanes or something to use late in blocks, the Wreck-Em is a great choice! #OwnIt

If you are looking for a ball that will be clean through the fronts yet hook in the back end this is the ball for you. I tried this ball on medium THS (Typical House Shot) and it worked very well on this type of pattern. Ball hits great as well. Throw it right (RH Bowlers) and watch it come back on the spot! Another gem in the Roto Grip Line!

Wreck Em The WreckEm is the latest HP2 release from RotoGrip. Another great release from Roto Grip, not only does it hook and hit but the shelf appeal may be one of the best looking balls ever. The layout for this ball was pin slightly up and just to the right of my ring finger. The Wreck Em cleared the fronts and was smooth through the mid lane, but then the ball got to the backend and the reaction I got was a total surprise. The surprise was for it to finish as strong as it did and was so continuous through the pins. The Wreck Em may be the strongest backend reaction I've ever thrown. It gives me so much length that I could play the same area of the lane for more games. I've only used it on a fairly heavy oiled house shot so far, but after 3 games with eight bowlers on the pair I moved about five boards left all night. At first, I wasn't sure how much backend motion the Wreck Em had because of the length that it gets, but it'll gets sideways. This ball is a must for medium house shots and with the length it will work great on sport patterns with small surface adjustments. A great bargain for your buck.

Ball: Wreck'Em Layout: 50 x 5 x 60 Finish: 1500 grit polished = tested with 5000 grit 3M Reaction: Being a pearl I stuck to my pin down layout and actually it needed a little surface adjustment for my "eyes" to like the motion down lane. I can now play left of the typical lefty track area and not worry about not having enough ball in my hand like The Hustle line that I love to use on wood and older HPL which is what we have at the center I work and bowl at. The Hustle POW is my favorite of the bunch and if in practice, which one is going too far down lane before it starts the reaction, I been pulling out the Wreck It and had better reaction. But having that touch more pearl in it, the length is a few inches longer and more energy being stored which leaves less corner pins for me. When I need to use something on newer HPL I like to use this Wreck'Em as my first choice out the bag. With pin down it starts a little sooner and does not hydroplane like my other pearls do on it. Great ball to be the middle piece of your 3 ball arsenal or the 2nd ball out of your 4 ball arsenal.

The WreckEm is the latest HP2 release from RotoGrip. This ball is flat out fun to roll! Wind it up, get it to friction and watch it fly. I'm a huge fan of pearl symmetric bowling balls, so I was "pumped" to drill this one out. My customers love it, it looks great on the shelf and the price point is crazy good. If you've got some hand, this ball works well on fresh house shots. It does skid easy, so don't get too brave on heavier oil patterns. I drilled mine with the pin above my ring at 4 1/4 from my PAP and the flare from the core was impressive. I'm slightly speed dominant with lower tilt and I had no problems getting this ball to pocket on our house shot. I'm putting a video out on this ball soon and I plan to test it on a few sport conditions. I highly recommend this ball to more experienced players as well as new bowlers looking for a wallet friendly performance product. Thanks for reading and good luck on the lanes. #rotogrip #ownit

I loved the Wreck-it and now the Wreck-Em. Compared to the Wreck-it, the Wreck-em goes longer and snaps a bunch more. The Wreck-it tends to roll pretty early and be SUPER smooth on the back. When the lanes get really burned up, it tends to labor around the corner. The Wreck-Em is the perfect progression from the Wreck-it because it creates a TON more backend motion. I can see starting with a Wreck-it and then going to Wreck-Em for the rest of the block when I need something to get the corners out late.

The Wreck-Em by Roto Grip is a nice smooth arcing bowling ball. My layout for this ball was Pin slightly up and just to the right of my ring finger. I wanted the ball to be controllable, smooth rolling and not over react to dry patterns. I got out of this ball when I drilled it was, I played 25 to 8. The Wreck-Em rolled smooth through the middle part of the lane and the ball reach the backend the reaction I got was a total surprise. The Wreck-Em came of the corner with such ferocious attitude it obliterated the rack. The pin carry this ball packs is awesome for medium to dry lanes with length. I was not super aggressive but she was aggressive on the backend. The smooth rolling and the aggressive backend was still easily adjustable to control the hook and the break point. When the lanes break down this is ball I will have in my bag at all times.

Roto Grip Wreck'em Layout: pin above the bridge. Cg in line with pin,oob Condition: 40 ft house on hpl I drilled this ball wanting to replace my outcry which had cracked. With this drilling, I was looking for length and strong backend. I got his and much more. The cover is much stronger then I expected and hooked off the spot much more then I expected. It was very strong off the dry and carried very well. Once I got it in the oil some I left a few flat tens that my dare devil probably would have carried. All in all this is another great piece from Roto grip. The shelf appeal will definitely help sell this ball with a beautiful red, white and purple color scheme. This ball releases on January 10th, get out and see your local pro shop and pick one up you won't be disappointed. If your in the Evansville,IN area go out see Nick Austin at the The Bowling Place, he will take care of all your bowling needs.
