    Given the clues, I guess it belonged to Wes Mallot.

    Definitely the big nasty. There is a guy in Casper, WY that buys used stuff from Wes all the time. Same span and everything so he doesn't even plug it lol. I wish I could find one of these NIB that people didn't want $400 for undrilled lol. This was probably my favorite that Roto Grip ever released. I personally punched up 3 of these before they became discontinued.

    Fits me too! Rolled it once in Friday practice time, it did not hit the thumb hole, Yay. Wes has his thumb position a little rotated, so its getting reslugged. This ball could be awesome on the evening leagues. The ball is nearly new and likely used on one of Wes's TV finals, since he made so many that year.

    I'm trying to figure out when Roto Grip is going to re-launch this ball as it won I beleive 7 shows on tour in 2008-2009, and was on the finals in just about every show. Truly was an amazing ball and anytime I run into Steve Kloempkin, Alex Hoskins or Chad McLean at a tourney around the area, I let them know that it needs to be released again lol.
