Roto Grip Idol Synergy Review

what is up everybody jr raymond back again coming to you from classic lanes in rochester hills michigan home of mrb classic pro shop make sure to head up here every night after six o'clock mason's up here just about every night during the week closed on the weekends but that's okay i'm sure you could hit him up get an appointment from him whatever you need to do if you want me to do some work for you get an appointment with me soon i'm going to be building a website of my own where you can get a hold of me for lessons and all that stuff so be on the lookout for that but today we're taking out on a 42 foot league pattern we're gonna go look at the

newest uh the other newest roto grip ball that's coming out that idle synergy um another shiny hybrid bowling ball so and i believe that that our r1 or sx1 or what i don't know where the r comes from i keep saying r or that x1 from rotor grip i believe that was a hybrid as well so but this idle synergy is a hybrid kind of like that the idle pro i wonder what the difference is going to be maybe it's an idle pro uh all the same thing i don't know i don't remember what the court was the core different in the idle pro

compared to this i'm not really sure i'll go back and look and we'll kind of talk about it a little bit later but we're gonna take it out here see what it's got out here on a typical league pattern here in a minute stay tuned [Music] [Music] [Music]

all right we're going to take a look at the synergy this idle synergy this ball literally hasn't gone on the lane yet because i warmed up with that x1 roto grip ball which if you saw that that looked really really good but we're gonna take a look at the synergy we're gonna do the same thing i'm gonna try to go straighter being a shinier hybrid i expect it to kind of hook off of the dry to the right a little bit sharper but i guess we'll find out we'll start at that eight nine ten range and see what we can come up with here

yeah so it's definitely you can see the quickness down lane much different than that uh the x1 and i hope i'm saying that right i don't think i am i think it's like an rst or something like that rstx1 yeah so you want to watch tv okay hold on buddy i'll get you set up in a second let me get this one done okay you'll watch pals get out of the way this way this way this way people can't see with your big button away all right so i'm gonna actually i'm gonna try that that fudge knuckler again

where i moved right with six seven ish try to really take some hand out of it see what we come up with oh roll it baby oh let's go all right so the fudge knuckler worked with that ball because it comes off of the dry quite a bit stronger so that was good i've been getting requests of people they want to see the balls go straighter so i'm going to try and take some hand

out and let you see them going straighter up the lane got to please the people i'm trying to go even further right this might hook immediately but i'm gonna try to take even less even more hand out of it look at that that ball floats right through there it hooked immediately but i took so much hand out of it that it just floated through and rolled through the pin so that's a good sign for anybody that likes to play straighter you like that shiny ball but you don't

want to purl here you go that's what you got all right so we're gonna start moving left now so far it looks pretty good let's get to that 15 16 area 14 15 whatever you want to call it a little rollier hand position oh this is going to be a sick combination between that rx rst and this both hybrids i believe

but that solid that duller cover on the other one compared to this shinier ball oh i don't know man this is looking good right now maybe i'm gonna have to talk to i'm gonna have to talk to lee and tell him he's gonna have to do a two ball package on these two do some kind of a special or something good grief because if they're gonna compliment each other really well might as well get a boat all right we're gonna move left to be that three in one

oh miss left oh boy but see this has got that typical storm rotogrip look to where it gets to the spot and it almost looks like it speeds up like it's speeding up going through the pins it's not really of course but it looks like it is so it wants some angle so we're gonna have to go left see we can't get in between third and fourth arrow

i'm gonna keep it rolly because it looked like it still want to kick down line oh my goodness this thing's strong down lane wow wow wow i gotta imagine this thing's gonna be ridiculous as i keep going left you want some pop down lane i wonder remember when uh belmo was picking his cover stocks and all that for the trend they had three different cover stocks um

to go with the core that they designed and he was choosing which cover stock to go with i wonder if this is just one of the other cover stocks that he didn't choose maybe this is the more flippy cover stock compared to the other ones i don't know because this thing looks strong down lane [Music] yeah seeing that one you can almost see it hook stop but it's back to where uh where i was with that rx1

it was my angle was too steep and i'm sure i could make that angle work but i would just really have to slow down and get around it a little bit more now i can get my hand around it probably shut my angle down just a pinch and see what it does man it doesn't quite look like somebody

kicks it when it gets down lane but it definitely goes right you know left to right back left again really strong so i'm gonna let me try that area again where it didn't hook before and i'm going to try and get my hand around it see if it'll still hook to the right compared to what it did before

yeah that time it came back that time you get your hand around it enough it'll come back thanks buddy let's leave it in there for now all right that was pretty sweet so you just see a minor change there i just get my hand around it a little bit more and it stops that whole hook stop look and it continues off of it and goes to the pins this ball returned slow today all right i'm gonna keep going left see if we can't get to that fifth arrow

and then i'll tuck my pinky a few shots oh that's too rolly yeah you can see that one hook stop you can see i was too forward with it so it made its corner and it kind of just went forward through the pins i didn't quite get around that one enough but i mean it still obviously struck still looked really good now the one difference is is this one's not reading the middle lane as well as that our rst did

so that could cause you some problems and that's what i'm talking about where this one's probably going to be a little bit better at one or the other it's going to be better playing straighter or better playing in whereas the rst is going to be a little bit more versatile playing all parts of the lane and i still don't have a ball back oh here it comes i wonder what's going on back there all right i'm continue to move left and this one i'll make sure i'm gonna tuck my pinky to make sure my hand gets

around it that's definitely around it [Music] i think i left a skid mark down lane good grief like i would say i would even go as far as saying this is even flippier than what that phase three was maybe that's what it is maybe it's that cover it's the same cover as a phase three and we don't know it but it's definitely that got that strength

if you're a phase three lover this might be that ball you love you might want this one as your next one all right tuck pinky i'm gonna try to get this one even further right see what happens buddy you're gonna be almost done run my kid over usually you don't do that normally he just sits out of the way watch out kid come this way come on you're scaring me i keep going up toward the line and you're getting closer

i don't want to kick you yeah that's almost identical i mean maybe it's not as as flippy as what the phase three was for me because when i did that with the phase three that thing trucked through the pins and struck so this might be just a little bit smoother but man not much so let's go back in the middle of the lane and see if i'm right about this because

if i can't consistently make a good motion in the middle of the lane then it's only going to be good playing straighter and end for me see i just feel like that's going to be a little bit of an overreaction being you know that straight unless i can take my hand out of it and go straight then it's fine and if i roll it a little bit too much it's going to be

flat 10 city i feel like oh i see it keeps getting caught back on the wheel there throw one more shot i'm gonna try to roll it from that spot see that's what i'm talking about so then when i roll it a little bit it

doesn't quite want to make the corner so i go four pin to swish to flat you know something like that but now if i throw a shot back left i can get the ball to go through the pins or if i go way right i can get the ball to go through the pins so our issue with some of these bowling balls like this is usually they're good for one or the other you get something like that the rst you know it's going to be really good playing uh all parts of the lane so you run into trouble with something not trouble but that's where setting up a good arsenal

comes into play you got to make sure you know you've got bowling balls that can be versatile you know you've got bowling balls that are good at one or the other and kind of some in between and all that good stuff so i've got another ball stuck i'm gonna have to throw a ball down the lane to get it let's see if that'll strike get in there come on oh i got the ten out that's good almost five seven ten five 5710 is never a good sign that ball deflected didn't quite get through the pocket right

all right one more shot like i promised further left with my hand around it a little bit and you'll watch this ball go through the pins nicely holy moly yeah i mean i was left off my hand but all right one more if it doesn't get stuck let's hope that ball doesn't get stuck in the wheel again it looks like it's coming

all right try that again throw one good it's better yeah i don't know let's chat all right there you go so there's the idle synergy um i said i want to talk about it a little bit because i think we have some a little bit misunderstanding sometimes between good balls bad balls

again like i always say no such thing as a bad bowling ball they just have situational bowling balls uh and these last two you've seen are exactly what i'm talking about you have that rst that was good all over the lane i could get it to read the middle line properly and then you have something a little shinier even though it's a hybrid something shiny or just like the uh the idle synergy and you've seen it be really good playing straight it floated through there really well popped through the pins and then you've seen it really pretty good playing further in maybe a little hook stoppy at times

um but then it was really kind of mixed signals in the middle of the line weren't really sure um so maybe it'll be good when we see some breakdown as we start to see a little bit of carry down start to see a little bit of the fronts go that's when we could go from the rst to the idle synergy and it'll be perfect it'll be a good combination so that's what i think we need to do i think we need to get both of these balls lay them out the same and then you'll have one in the you have two hybrids that are going to show you exactly what you need between the two you're going to have one that's real versatile

one that's going to be you know more of a transition ball so make sure to head over to bowler x.com get yours today it's in the links in the description make sure like subscribe comment do all that good stuff and until next time i'm out of here see you later [Music] you
