- Shout (2012)

First Impressions
With the Shout (2012), Roto Grip brings a fascinating new development to the market, one that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Late Roll 46 core, which with a 2.57 RG and a 0.022 differential ensures very clean motion through the front sections of the lane. The 42L Pearl cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The 1500-grit polished finish supports this characteristic massively, letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction too early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately conveys that this model was designed primarily for later and sharper changes of direction. The technical match between core and cover here is extremely harmonious and purposeful.
Comparison
Comparing the Shout (2012) with the Roto Grip Hustle, the glaring differences in backend reaction are immediately apparent. The Roto Grip Hustle tends to read somewhat earlier, while the Shout (2012) holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That characteristic makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Hustle starts to lose energy in the pocket or enters too flat. Although both balls are aimed at lighter oil patterns, the Shout (2012) offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Hustle no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has already been played in a bit and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which produces maximum, explosive carry. As the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball allows you to move systematically further inside and attack the pocket from a much deeper angle. It is very well suited to medium to dry conditions and an excellent choice if you are looking for a clean, responsive surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on shots missed to the outside, it should keep scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
