Roto Grip Gremlin Tour-X Review

Got no regrets. I'm on the run. Chasing the check. Dropping the top. Riding the vet. Telling myself what you expect. You know I'm with it. No better feeling cuz I could have quit but I didn't. When I'm on a mission, moving it up to a better position. >> What's going on social media fam? Gremlin Tour X. If you notic in my voice, a little under the weather. Feeling a little better, man. Been taking a bunch of uh what was it? Ginger shots and you know, sick medicine. But this how we drilled

this one. So, I kind of felt like I went wrong when I was going to I am pro uh solid. Uh drilled this one 50 50 I think 55x 4 1.5x 50. So again, this just it's moving this mass bias cuz this is a asymmetrical ball. Um, but they've lowered the diff because the original GMA had a little more differential. So again, it's kind of looks like an IM Pro replacement like the original one. Like same kind of color scheme instead of blue purple, which I think looks really

good. And after seeing again the PBA guys give this one a go, I think we in for something. But uh yeah, so I drilled it again a little bit different and a lot of the stuff right with lower diffs for this for this year foreseeable future will kind of be like this. So but yeah, hopefully get some good ball reaction and uh yeah, it makes it really usable. So we got that and I am pro solid the blue ball. Um we're going to take a look at those and I

might throw the uh Swag Serpent in here as well. It's another hybrid. Um, and I think the emotions are probably gonna match up pretty well. And those balls are laid out exactly the same. So, appreciate you guys as always, man. Hit that like, subscribe. Let's get on the lanes, man. Your boy is going to lose my voice too much. >> First shot. >> It's his house shot. >> It would be nice to have a pattern, but again, try to make stuff happen. again,

especially with me being under the weather. Yeah, it's been some of those days where I could have done it, but hopefully I can follow up in some of the second, third videos, right? Let's score patterns. All right. Yeah, fresh out shot, which again, center typically have some decent back ends. Definitely hooked. We pick up the ION

Pro here in a moment just as we're filling this ball out. But yeah, so far it's a lot. You know, maybe I should have did my typical layout on this one. But again, y'all always ask me, Charles, did those numbers just make the ball really long and go down the lane and hook >> and not that great? middle part right here. >> This might be a candidate, right, for laying uh surface adjustment, you know, cuz this is this is really shaping, but

it's clean back in. So, might get uh smoother as we throw. There we go. I watched the first video just like you guys did and Chris Prather right was really straight. So I kind of was expecting some of that. Think again. We're going to start moving a little bit left and then hopefully we'll start moving right towards the end of the video or the full game.

>> Yeah. Now surprised just like you guys that we got a gremlin. We got to follow up this quickly. And I guess that's kind of been like the running thing. They're making these bowling balls in pairs when they're testing all of them. And they already had this in a bag. I have to believe several months ago. So now that this is here, you know, the Gremlin and the Gremlin Trex, this might be a really nice pairing. Like use this early, then go to the Gremlin later. Like the Gremlin is

definitely one of my favorite, you know, pieces. in that shiny category. I'm g stay on 25. Yeah. So, really, really nice continuation. Um, and that's really what you want to see from balls in chilling category, right? Like I am curious just like you guys are, right? Put out something tough. What does it do on that?

But this might be my league killer. And we had like a lot of different options that look really good in the league. Um the Spartan has been one that look really good. Um I pulled out the the uh Serpent um this previous week. This video should be coming out soon or or should be out probably the last leak video that you've seen the most recent one. Uh look really good. So again, think this going to be another good option.

I can't barely see. If that would have carried, I would have been like dirty. I'm like, and I was concerned once I saw the ion pro was going away, but for him to follow it up immediately with this ball, probably have to increase the speed a little bit moving forward till some oil carries down the lane.

So yeah, most of these balls that especially come out of box with a decent amount of surface, you know, I think this probably at least got 2,000 on it. Um, and that will make sense why I open it up. But then as I throw it and throw it, it should get started. Oh, that's way out there. That was way out there. So, I definitely shot it and I again I don't think anything was coming back from right there. But, you know, we did it.

Throw one more then we get to the ion pro. And again, Ion Pro is exactly out of box. So, exactly how you would get both of these trailer bowling balls. Oh, little tip in. Definitely feel like I probably didn't catch it as much as I normally would have, but not mad. Not mad. But again, I am Pro and this is my new ones. Like still getting shiny. It's been

pretty good. I'm starting the same spot. See what we get. So that one definitely felt like change directions a little bit, but in a similar zone, right? I feel like they just hooked for a different reason. But both would I see have them both in the bag? Again, probably not. Unless, you know, you're you're a tournament bowler,

right? And you plan to, you know, have eight bowling balls in a bag with you. Oh, definitely. Again, that one feels more down lane. Um, probably for come the box finish, right? This one has the power edge TX S2000. So, burned up a little bit. Yeah, I like the shape. Yeah. And since I've drilled this second Ion Pro, like I've really been in love with that that

ball now. Yeah. So, just earlier, smoother. You see, they both are still continuous. Like it I feel like they both kind of will fall into that category. It's still continuous, but just I would start with the Tour X and then get to the IM Pro solid. And no, I didn't want to pull out the

original ION Pro cuz it's old ball and it's retired. So, I think more people are going to be debating, you know, should I get this opposed to Ion Pro and it's honestly again more rev dominant folks for they're both options, right? It just this naturally comes out of box right with a little more control built in. But if you need more, you know, length through the fronts, both are striking, right? Soul shot. You all know that. Know everybody in the

comments, Charles, just throw a sport, bro. I get you. I get you. But you know, you still can read what's going on here. So, a little more inside. Yeah. Both are continuing, bro. Like these are bone balls that I really really like. Um stuff in this category, you know, solids or one being in the case of a hybrid but has service on it.

Like across the board like typically I like these Taylor bowling balls like they match up to me. They offer me a lot of versatility because I'm, you know, like a power tweener, you know, not a cranker per se. And we will do a video with the uh Black Widow uh Tour V1 because obviously they're both hybrids. Oh, that's going to go a little long. Yeah, I threw it really bad. Got to the

bottom. Got really really forward. That would be the ball's fault. But it's also part of the length, right? The length of that ball is going to carry that one much further down the lane opposed to that X. try to throw one good one. >> But like this is a all about business ball like and we're gonna get to a full game here after I throw this uh shot here with Iron Pro. But yeah, like it's not meant to be something fancy. It just gets the job done. So, you know, it's not surprising the ball motion we're

getting here. Oh, off my angle. Might hook up. Oh, speed up. Oh, it tried. It tried. But, uh, again, I'm just making do. But, uh, definitely be a little further to the right with each of those bowling balls. And again, if you stay here towards the end, right, that's exactly what we'll do. I'm going to do the full game. Probably be a little bit

more to the right as this ball starts to get a little oil on the cover. And then at the end, we'll throw them after the L transition a little bit. And we'll call it a video. So, let's get busy. All right, full game time. See if we can get get jiggy with this one. Gremlin TRX, hopeful, hopeful, hopeful, hopeful.

And if you were curious, the shirt I'm rocking today is in stock now. So, if you have been wondering, overthinking sauce, nothing, it's there for you. Appreciate you guys always. Oh, peel. Ah, I couldn't fillet it. Threw it inside, man. Again, your boy a little rusty coming off my second time bowling since coming off a cruise. Uh, boy need a little vacation. It was a long week

getting all the bowling balls out for February. knowing that you know these two balls are going to be here on the porch and of course there's always more on the way. So split the 89 again continuation again has been superb like and part of the layout change reason was what happened with the Widow Tour V1 and the original Iron Pro solid for me like both

of those balls just sucked. I'm like they did like I just was not happy with the ball reaction. I left a lot of corner pins like I always just struggled um with them. So I was just like moving forward balls was slightly you know lower differentials. I'm going to drill them through the ring finger CG kicked you know just like some of the other stuff from all the brands coming out. It's a lot. You will see that because I want a little more predictability. I think those balls just rev up and do the right things more frequently. Then when I go five inches and with the 60 and 30

degrees. So way out of breath. So I'm up now. Get back to what we doing here right now. Hovering around getting around this 23 24 with my feet. Yeah. Me Likey me likey the gremlin which again didn't surprise me not surprise me

because I like the original slightly different shade not as not as clean not as much down the lane. Yeah. Yeah. We going to be People ask like what are you really still throwing? Like what do you really really like? So because of currently my current situation, you know, things may change and I might be able to bowl more

frequently at some point, but uh as of right now schedule, flight schedule, like when I'm when I do sneak away for a tournament on the weekend, like I'm going to try the new thing. That's what I'm going to do. So because I I need to try to get as much information as possible. So I don't have the ability to bowl four nights of four nights a week of league. So You know, I got to just make do when I can. I'mma try the new ball. What do I like? A vocus area. Still the ball. Grillin still really

good. You know, this one's still really good. Zero solid still really good. Like, and this is this definitely seem like a ball like I can put in a bag like and have a lot of versatility like it. It does. It's not a long argument to have. This is a bowlers's looking ball. It's dark, dark colors. Again, it pops. The logos again, they they know what

they doing, man. Storm always knows how to tug on your heartstrings late. >> So, right there, that's what you want to see. Like again, this ball starting to again get some oil on the cover, give me some more hole when I miss left instead of leaving the nine pin like I did before. >> So with enough service on it, it's definitely giving me that vibe like, oh,

you can follow this up after a urethane if you have enough surface and it's drill strong enough. Oh, hook a lot, please. Oh, I was asking a lot. I knew it. Yeah, I got to the bottom. Just kind of sprayed it to the right. Again, it's not a griml. Not an original griml. It's not supposed to do that. So, like I said, I probably start cheating a little further to the right

down by the I'm cheating a little bit closer to 22. Oh, and I missed so far in. I threw that so bad. Threw it so bad, guys. I did. But happens again. Got to move the eyes a little bit more. Feel like I got to the bottom and just kind of shoulders cut back off.

Typical miss of a bowler. You miss right one, you overcompensate to the left. Splash, splash, splashy splash. I'm a fan. I am a fan.

>> Perfect. So, where does it fit in the bag? Mostly, you know, I would start most practice with this ball to get a read. Hey, how much oil is out there? It should still hook, but if it's not carrying, maybe it's not enough for so you can go to something stronger. But if it's hooking too much, even when you start to move left, it's not burning up. Need to go to something shiny. That's how we're kind of use this ball in that slot.

Little slow, but that was perfect. So yeah, going to get a couple shots here playing a little further to the right with both the ion pro solid and this ball. And then stay tuned, right, for more content. And we're going to throw the IMAX Pearl that's going to be next. And uh yeah, the follow subsequent video, right, going be a Black Widow Tour V1 skis, cuz I know that's what you want to see.

Tour V1 skis. Definitely early impressions. This one seems to be a little bit quicker down the lane. You know, I think get nervous to be on the screen, but I think the tour has a little more differential making it see it a little bit sooner. And no, again, I'm not a, you know, stroker, somebody with, you know, 150

revs. So stay to the right just always doesn't always make sense. Go. Your boy trying to breathe right now. Struggling over the line. So definitely a cleaner ball. I think I'm going to have a little more success when I start, you know, taking hand out of it uh with the TRX opposed to this

one because it's just this one's so much cleaner. So, again, realistically, they could play off each other. I would just be starting with the TX and then getting to Ion Pro Solid. And again, I'm hoping we see, you know, all the the Storm guys, right, come out, adjust the surface of ION Pro and bring it down to this right now, >> you know, relate that to them. those six >> set on 20.

>> Yeah. >> So again, because of that surface, >> this works. >> This works. >> Yeah. >> What the It just it does the thing. Like it's it just it's just good. Like again, there are other options that are I would say similar. Do I feel like this is a revolutionary thing? No, I don't. I think the ball's good though.

I think you will use it. But yeah, you like the Gremlin. Probably going to like this one. Different shape though. Definitely different shape. I'm going still throw it. You know, I'm missing missing a pin. I'll move a little further to the right. cheat just for you guys up the gutter. Yeah, buddy. Just more surface the better. Uh yeah, I didn't say anything else, man. Let's

go. Move on. Hit like, subscribe, man. Grab some merch. Boss Mark, use the links below. >> Yeah. Hey, man. I think you guys know what the hype's about. >> I don't think it's going to be that big of a hype ball. I think it's just going to be a really good one that everybody loves. See you at the end of the year. >> On me, just keep snoozing. I'm so locked in right now.
