The Roto Grip Disturbed is the newest entrant into the H3 line. We could easily end the review and test results by summarizing it up in one sentence: This ball just flat out hooks. For the sake of our readers, however, we will go into more detail.

We started on the heavy test pattern and never had a doubt this ball was going to make it back to the pocket. Shots missed right usually result in 2-10 combinations or washouts, but not with the Disturbed. Even when we thought we threw it out the window on...

This ball offered a nice amount of reaction at the breakpoint for such a strongly shelled ball. There are plenty of other ball options for bowlers looking for more skid/snap.

The cover creates traction quickly on any type of lane condition. Polish will be a must for slow speeds or high rev rates on medium patterns.
Back End

The back end hook is one of the larger ones from a sanded Roto Grip product. Even at the low box finish, this one still has a good move at the back.

The Disturbed can hook with the big boys in the HP line. This ball will be ideal for long and heavy type oil patterns.

Strengths: Raw, unadulterated hook is the biggest asset of the Disturbed. When we managed to get this one through the front, it had no problem storing enough energy to kick out the corners.

Weaknesses: Short dry patterns or when the heads start to go away will be disaster for the Disturbed at the box finish. This ball hooks early and often and needs some help from the lane lubricant.

Overall Summary: This ball hooks as much as any ball in the Roto Grip line. Bowlers who prefer symmetric cores and are looking for a monster oil ball need look no further than the Disturbed.
