    my pro shop guy wont even let me get a new ball because he's scared of my wife. He's threatened to call her and ask permission. That's the cure for the syndrome right there.

    Please tell me this. I have a Roto Grip Defiant and have bowled about 1100 games more or less in the 2.5 yrs I have had it. I have had the pro shop "rejuvenate it at least after every 30 - 40 games. Plus my own Abrallon work on it and then there's the sanding and polishing machine at the bowling lanes.. I assume the surface on this ball can wear out. How can I tell if it should be replaced. I love the Defiant and would buy another. The new Totally Defiant has exact same specs but different cover.

    I have been looking at the "Totally Defiant" also, and it appears to be an awesome ball. I've got the Shatter, LOVE IT, and this one seems just a bit more aggressive, but it's still a skid snap ball, and that's what I like. Too bad it won't be out till August 13th ! They know what they're doing, getting ready for the fall league rush. After 1100 games, you've more than paid for that ball. Go for it.......Totally Defiant it is !!!

    Haha yeah I know... It's become more of a joke than seriousness now. He just made me get her a new ball before letting me get another. Which actually worked pretty good for me!
