Review by Dustin S:
Pin to PAP(6 3/16" over 1/2" down) - 7 1/8"
PSA Layout - 7 1/8 x 4 3/8 x 3"
Balance Hole - n/a
Surface Preparation - Out of Box (1500 Grit Polished)
What I Was Looking For In This Ball Layout:
I absolutely loved the Defiant. I was expecting the Defiant Edge (http://www.bowlingball.com/products/bowling-balls/RotoGrip/10354/Defiant-Edge.html) to be the perfect compliment for when the Defiant starts to read too early. I was hoping to see a strong backend reaction with the amazing carry the Paragon core is known for.
What I Ended Up With in the Ball and Layout:
I saw exactly what I expected to see. When a company like Roto Grip gets into a groove, it's easy to predict what a ball will do because everything they make is great. They know what works and their design team is the best in the business. This will be a great compliment to the Defiant.
With the layout I chose I saw a bit too much length for my liking. When I drill another one, I will be sure to use a stronger layout. This isn't due to anything other than me choosing too weak of a layout. I also think that changing the surface to 4000 matte like the Critical Theory would be amazing on this ball. All in all, the Defiant Edge (http://www.bowlingball.com/products/bowling-balls/RotoGrip/10354/Defiant-Edge.html) is going to be another big hit for Roto Grip. Learn from my mistake and drill the ball with a layout that plays to the strengths of the ball. Drill it strong and watch it fly!
