Ball Speed: 16-17mph
Ball Weight: 15lbs
PAP: 5 left 7/16 up
Degrees of Tilt: 17
Layout: 5 x 4 x 2 ½
The Scream is drill pin above the middle finger, cg kicked out with no hole. I needed something for when the lanes get really dry and not have to make a drastic move and lose the pocket. It is not a ball that you can stand left throw right when there is a good amount of oil unless you are a high rev bowler or if it’s dry enough. The lanes at my main center have pretty dry outside boards which is around 7 board and out to the 1 board. When I get to the dry weather it is swinging to the dry or going up the boards it does not give me and up and down read. Really consistent read all around. I am able to play in my comfort zone or even go up the boards and the ball does not over react. Nice control motion and when it hits the back end it doesn’t jerk like other pearl balls it is much smoother.
I compared it with my tropical heat hybrid and rising star, and I am able to stand 6 boards left with the Scream compared to the tropical heat and rising star which is great when the lanes get toasted and everything else is hooking too early. I kept the factory finish on it which is 1500 polished. With this new low end line for Roto Grip it gives the Roto Grip fan a great low end ball for dry lanes or if you wanna play straighter for the down and in bowler for a great price.

What I ended up with was a ball that was INSANE left off the spot when it hits dry. Last night on my local center's house shot I ended up playing 18 at the arrows out to 13-14 at the break point and the ball would skid the whole way down the lanes, SNAP at the end and destroy the pins. My center has a very flooded middle on their house shot and most equipment won't make it back strongly if left in the middle.
I actually love this ball and its versatility. I rated it a 4 because it was not at all what I expected. In my opinion you can't get much better for the price.
Once you learn how the ball rolls it is a must in my opinion.

Rotogrip Scream is here. Great looking ball, great price and fantastic performance. Went with my favorite layout here 65 x 4 3/4 x 65. I was able to use this on all transitions while using the Shout and easily got the ball to the pocket when the lane seemed to go away. The core is modified from the Rising Star Shooting Star and Shatter to allow the ball to conserve energy further down the lane. Add in the pearlized coverstock and you have a long straight ball through the front with a little strong arc on the back part of the lane. The more you rev it up the more it kicks. I have left mine with the Box surface as I will be using it more for when lanes get some extreme breakdown. Rotation is easy to see and when the roll picks up when encountering friction you will recognize it. The ball transistions extremely well into the pocket and shreds racks with ease.

Drilled the pin 5 ½” and the CG 5 ½” from PAP (pin down).
Oil is not its friend. This ball is for less oil, slow speed bowlers or lots of hand. The ball gets great length before its move. It can be used on the driest of conditions or when the heads are gone. My ball rolls too early on dry heads so this is the ball I will go to later in the day. Also I know several people that struggle with low speed and house shots are just too dry for them and now they have an answer without having to go to plastic. Great ball for slow speed or lots of hand.

I drilled the Scream 4.75 x 4.5 x 2.75 pin up.
The Scream is very clean through the fronts, and strong arc on back. The scream doesn't have a skid /flip reaction, more of a hard rolly move off the spot.
I go to this ball when the heads dry up and I need some length..
For a entry level ball from RG the Scream is a great ball for the money.
Plus has great shelf appeal.

I drilled my Scream straight up 12:00 5-1/4 x 5 pin over the bridge cg below the bridge and even with my low ball speed I can get it down the lane in the dry. This ball saves a lot of energy and is a must on medium-dry conditions. A good spare ball on a lot of conditions and a good ball for both the novice and the serious bowlers.

Check the integrity of the material of the coverstock. It might be weak on this part of the ball. I\'m right handed, thus the weak point was not on my track.

Patterns tested on: THS on HPL, SPL, and ½ HPL and ½ wood, and Los Angeles pattern
The SCREAM worked well on the HPL and ½ and ½ surfaces on THS and LA pattern. The ball loves the lighter volume and lighter oil, when heavier oil is found; the ball tends to “give up” near the end of the pattern. This ball is great for lighter oil patterns and for slower ball speed users. The ball likes the first few boards on the house conditions and I was able to point and play or play the channel and was able to strike at will with it. For an entry level ball, this ball is money!!!

The Scream, which is a polished pearl, was drilled using the dual angle method. The layout is a 4 inch pin, 60-degree drill angle and a 30-degree VAL angle. An x-hole was placed in the P2.75 location. Using Storm’s layout terminology the layout would be 4 by 5 with a 2 1/8 pin buffer. The cover was left OOB which is 1500 polished. The color scheme of the Scream is bright and eye grabbing
The pattern bowled on was a 41 foot, 24 micro-liter broken down house condition. I had used a Defiant Edge and a Berserk earlier and was playing around 22 with them. With the HP1 Scream, I was able to move my feet 11 right and my target 5 right to get closer to the friction and get to the pocket. The Scream was very clean through the fronts, cleaner than the Shout, on the broken down pattern. The Scream made a much stronger move than the Shout off the friction into the pocket. I would describe the move as a hard arc. The hit and carry was well above my expectations based on my experience with the Roto Grip planet balls. Compared to the Shout the Scream was a little longer and quicker off the break point. The overall all hook was about the same as the Shout, just a different motion.
The new Roto Grip HP1 lineup of the Scream and Shout will provide additional ball choices and motions for those lighter oil or broken down conditions.

I WAS THROWING THIS BALL ON THE LANE I THREW THE SHOUT ON. IT SURPRISED ME!!!! I WAS THINKING WEAKER THAN THE SHOUT, BUT I SHOULD NOT EVER THINK. I MOVED OVER TO A FRESH LANE WITH THE 39'HOUSE SHOT ON IT AND SQUARED UP AND WAS PLAYING 12 TO 5 WITH A BIG BOOMING MOVE TO THE POCKET. I BOWLED SEVERAL GAMES WITH THE SCREAM AND AS LONG AS I GOT IT TO THE FRICTION DOWN THE LANE, IT READ AND HOOKED AND HIT LIKE CRAZY. THIS BALL REALLY WENT WAY BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS. IN THE PAST, PEARL EQUIPMENT AND MY GAME DIDN'T REALLY MATCH UP VERY WELL...TOO MUCH SPEED AND NOT ENOUGH HAND!!! BUT THE LAST FEW PEARLS HAVE REALLY MATCHED UP GOOD AS FAR AS OVERALL ROLL TO HOOK COMBO. GREAT JOB WITH ALL FIVE OF THE NEW BALLS.
