Evil Siege vs. Cell Pearl
« on: January 28, 2010, 12:08:06 PM »
Hey all.  It has been about 6 years since I have thrown Brunswick but the Evil Siege and the CSystem 3.5 really caught my attention.  I have been throwing strictly Roto Grip for about 2 years and it has treated me very well.  I recently ordered a second Cell Pearl and since then have started reading about the Evil Siege.  Can anyone compare these 2?  Does the Evil Siege need as much oil on the heads as the Cell Pearl?  My father runs a pro shop and he called me early this week and said he could get the Evil Siege and C-System 3.5 for a killer price as a promotion Brunswick is running.  I'm thinking about sending my Cell Pearl back and grabbing these 2 balls.  I just drilled up a Mutant Cell last week and am looking for another heavy oil ball as well.  Any thoughts/opinions??

I have not thrown the Cell Pearl, but based on what I have seen in the shop the cell pearl is slightly cleaner through the fronts with a slightly quicker response time at the backends.  The Evil Siege has a little more midlane recovery and more continuation downlane and through the pins.  The C System 3.5 has more recovery at the breakpoint, is more angular, and has more over all hook than both balls in question.

Just observations here. My son had a Cell Pearl which was "allergic" to oil then hard off the dry (over/under as Bob describes). Our shop sold probably 60-80 of them.

In my opinion, the Evil Siege will be much less over/under, yet mine still makes an aggressive turn once it finds any friction at all.

Bob, my original Siege was best at 4000 for the conditions I routinely see. It was waaaaaay to dull from the factory for my game (or lack thereof).
