Very predictable ball with a lot of backend hitting power. Works very well on medium oil lanes. I can throw the ball over the second arrow and be sure the ball will always hook back to the pocket. The best ball I've ever thrown. I'm a 140 average bowler and my last three games with this ball were 171, 201, 188.

Took me awhile to adjust to this ball since it was my first new ball in 10+ years. I have been able to maintain about a 160-170 avg after a dismal start to a new league. Nice ball!

The Illusion is one of the more angular ball in the Roto line. Very clean through the fronts with a strong sharp move on the back. I have had a lot of success drilling this ball for higher rev players or lower ball speeds. I have also used this ball a lot to introduce people into the Roto-Grip line. If you are looking for something to use in the second or even third game in league or for those tedious late block squads in a tournament this is a great choice. A very good and underrated release for Roto-Grip.

I received my Illusion through the RotoGrip Collegiate Program. It is drilled with a 4 ¼” by 4” pin to PAP.

I first used my Illusion on the house pattern at our home center, which is dry on the outsides and heavy in the middle. I have also thrown this ball on extremely dry conditions. The Illusion gives me good reaction when the lanes are very dry.

The Illusion is my favorite ball to use on dry patterns. It gives me a lot of length with controllable back end.


I would definitely recommend this RotoGrip ball for dry conditions.

I found this ball to work best on medium to light oil. To get the reaction in oil I needed, I sanded the cover to 800. This allowed me to play deeper in the oil and swing out to the dry.
This ball should do well on a house pattern where there is a dry area to bounce the shot.

This is a great ball from Roto Grip. The Roto Grip Illusion can be used on a variety of lane conditions. I recently drilled a Illusion for a customer with a 4 x 4 layout. The ball was clean thru the heads pick up a nice mid-lane roll and gave him a strong continuous motion on the backend. He was able to play a couple of different line on a fresh house shot.

Advanced Layout 1

  • Locate the mass bias by drawing a line from the pin through the CG. Find the location 6-¾" from the pin along this line, and mark it with "MB". This is the location of the mass bias or the secondary pin
  • Place the major pin 5" from the player's PAP and place the "MB" on the player's ball track next to the thumb hole
  • Use this layout for length with a medium backend reaction.
  • This layout is great for medium to light oil. Also works well for players with higher rev rates.


Advanced Layout 2

  • Locate the mass bias and mark it with "MB"
  • Place the major pin 4-¼" from the player's PAP and locate the mass bias (MB) along the player's PAL
  • This layout will most often require an extra hole, so place this hole on the PAP and remove excess side weight to "0".
  • This layout works well to produce medium length and heavy midlane roll. Usually works well on medium to heavy oil, especially longer oil patterns.


Advanced Layout 3

  • Locate the mass bias and mark the spot with an "MB". Remember, the mass bias is a fine tuning device used by advanced players.
  • Place the major pin 3-3/8" from the PAP and locate the mass bias halfway between the player's ball track and PAL
  • Place the extra hole, if necessary, on the player's PAP, removing excess side weight to less than 1 oz.
Note: This is a "High Flare" layout that should only be used by low rev players seeking maximum ball reaction!


Advanced Layout 4

(For this layout we will select a ball with a pin distance of 2-5" from the CG)
  • Place the major pin 1-½" from the PAP. Remember to keep the pin along the line located between the PAP and the player's finger holes.
  • Place the mass bias in the player's ball track.
  • Check side weight to see if an extra hole is necessary. If so, place the hole on the PAP.
  • This layout will produce heavy roll with a controllable backend reaction. Players with extensive side roll or high rev players will love this layout to help control dry, short oil patterns with very dry backends
