I love the coverstock on the Asylum. Can't go wrong with a bowling ball that has blood red as one of its colors.

[bbgamer884]

I turn 21 on the 21st. Can i get a free ball for my birthday? Yeah right... Still, this ball has been very promising, its the most popular ball on the pro circuit at the moment next to the Mastermind Genius.

[tccstudent]

Saw a few people throwing this ball at the tourney in Springfield and it was looking pretty good.

[Jaescrub]

I have seen Zero here in town. But I also bowled with a lot of older blowers that have held onto equipment that's a lil older.

[Aslan]

Yay!! pick me!! I really need this ball!!

Wait. No I don't. I have one in my closet.

Ya know whats better than ONE in your closet? Thats right. TWO in your closet.

If this ball is so awesome, why do they keep giving it away?

I haven't seen any at the alley at all. I saw a couple Rotogrip Defiant Edges though.

Agreed. Most balls on the rack when I bowl look like they are 30 years old. I DO see a fair amount of SYNCs and BYTEs...but thats about it. A couple Motivs...the blue/red and flourescent green ones.

[striker12]

1 month till my birthday and this would be a great birthday gift

[rv driver]

Winning a Roto Grip Asylum would be ... wait for it ... insane!

[ragstormfan]

I am more than ready to finally get a Roto Grip ball and "own it"! This ball would fit right next to my other hybrid balls

[Blacksox1]

The Asylum is a high performance ball with a hybrid reactive coverstock. The symmetric core with a 3000 grit factory finish, would be a fantastic addition to my current line-up and would be welcomed with open arms. :)

[tccstudent]

I am certifiably insane so therefore I should have a ball that describes where I live which Is in a asylum

[bigjimbo316]

Would love to own this ball. Been hearing good things about it and I've never had a Roto Grip in my collection before.

[MICHAEL]

always, thanks ice LOL

[Nyjets1975]

Send me to the ASYLUM please!

[classygranny]

Send me to the ASYLUM please!

OK...then they can send the ASYLUM (bowling ball) to ME! Would compliment my RG Defiant Soul, I do believe.

[Jeff taylor]

Just got the deranged this year liking roto grip !!! Need a more aggressive ball . Looking at this one or a hyper cell

[Dude779]

I've been wanting to give Roto Grip a try!

[tccstudent]

I call dibbs wait can i do that i dont recall anyone trying to call dibbs before so since I called dibbs that means I should automatically win right

[CaptainXeroid]

I've never owned a Roto Grip ball, but I'd be willing to try one out if I win. Do they emit aromas of fruit salad like Storm balls do?:D

See, I don't get that about Storm. Bowling's supposed to be this macho sport of hurling heavy balls down alleys to get through the heads, pick up energy in the backends, turn the corner, hit the pocket, splinter the pins, and get a strike. And Storm's making balls that smell like cake, strawberries, lemon pie and bubble gum? sugar and spice and everything nice? No wonder the PBA's going south! We've turned a grunting, manly game into a tea party. "Ssstick out your pinky when you bowl, fellasss."

C'mon! Make 'em smell like singed hair, armpits, scorched earth, sulfur, sweat, gunpowder and bad breath. Intimidating, raw, manly smells that knock down the 7 pin all by themselves when the balls whiff past. Make that ball smell like you wanna release it. A smell that will leave a skid mark on the lane. A smell that funks up your bowling bag and turns the stomachs of your bowling foes when that zipper comes open before a tournament. We've got the technology... why not a ball that emits a klaxon when rolling down the lane? Or emits sparks? I mean, listen to the names we give balls: Storm, Roto Grip, Asylum, Deranged, Motiv, Hammer, Spike, Hyper Cell. Names that smack of power and force. How dare we give such balls fragrances from Dior and Calvin Klein? I say to Storm: "Man up, Nancy!"

[H3RBSKI]

i just need a new ball as my local lane destroyed my motiv 2 cruel last night! a chunk almost as deep as my weight hole was take out! :( luckily it was the last night of the season but now im without a ball for next season:(

Uh oh. You're about to incur the wrath of Iceman's friend Jason....who has a massive man crush on scented bowling balls. God speed.

He can have all the scent he wants; let's just make it a scent that's congruent with the manly art of bowling.

[sara2117]

Thats an interesting list since it has all 3 of my newest balls on it
I traded a fusion that I got from the summer swing pro am for a asylum that I will pick up sometime this week

[Mike White]

Would that be beer and pizza?

Pizza I am surprised they haven't done that yet. How bout a ball that smells like a big juicy ribeye that would be manly

[peterfa]

I would pick Sean Rash

[bdtrob300]

How about a pine scented ball? We could ca in the lumberjack...lol

[bdtrob300]

How about a pine scented ball? We could call it the lumberjack...lol

[Sylvia]

I would pick Walter Ray Williams. I love his focus (dead eye).

[Jaescrub]

So what I'm getting out of some of the posts is you want storm to make manly sented bowling balls. And peterta wants a ball that smells like Rash and Sylvia wants a ball that smells like Walter Ray! I think the subject was manly smells. not smells like a man.

I do not want a ball that smells like a man think I wouldnt mind a ball that smells like Jessica Alba though

[rv driver]

You could put logos on the balls. The Dos Equis one would be... "The World's Most Interesting Bowling Ball."

1) Spares pick it up.
2) Louis Vuitton has nothing on its bag.
3) It's its own arsenal.

Well... yeah. Ya know: scents like "raw petroleum," "armpit," "old ash tray," "diesel exhaust," and "sweat."

does Alba have a manly smell?

[tccstudent]

does Alba have a manly smell?

I sure hope not but I am willing to bet she has a smell that most red blooded men would like
