Neptune Specs
Through the haze and mist the next planet appears in the distant horizon. The icy blue planet of Neptune is the most distant planet in the Roto Grip solar system.
The newly designed Orbiter II core with an RG of 2.61 and a differential of .018 was developed to spin smoother and more even along its rotational axis while delivering gravitational shattering pin action.
The Sure Grip II pearlized reactive coverstock is the perfect mantle for creating less friction with the atmosphere while traveling along its orbital path.
Once again Roto Grip delivers you the ultimate in price versus performance with its newest planet series ball.

Roto Grip Neptune Reviewed by: deltona 09/20/2008 12:14
I recently drilled a Roto-Grip Neptune for a customer. He was looking for a ball for drier lanes conditions. So i layed with the pin a 1 o'clock and the cg in middle of the grip. The reaction he got was very clean thru the heads, read the midlane well, gave him a smooth reaction on the backend and hit with a punch. It was exactly what he was looking for. I would recommend the ball to anyone who is looking for a ball for light to drier lane conditions.About the Bowler Bowling Hand Right Handed League Average 205 Ball Speed Medium Style Cranker PAP 4 1/2 over 1/2 up

This ball has a weak cover, a high RG, and not much of a differential. This is a ball that is good for the driest of lane conditions. It goes long and needs a whole lot of dry to react. I do not play it where there is virtually any oil.

This review is on a great ball from Roto-Grip, the Neptune!About the Bowler Bowling Hand Right Handed League Average 210 Ball Speed Medium Style Cranker PAP 4 7/8" over x 1/4" up
In my opinion, there isn't a better ball on the market for light oil conditions. This ball glides through the heads with ease, and makes a very controlled move on the backend. With that being said, unless you have a lot of trouble hooking the ball, I would still drill this ball with a pretty weak drilling for use on light oil. While it's great on the dry stuff, it's still reactive resin and has a good core in it, so don't drill it too strong. But if you're having trouble on the dry, the Neptune will get through the burnt up heads as easy as anything out there!
Thanks Roto-Grip for another great release!

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.
Advanced Layout 4
- 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
