hey guys i have a roto grip cell now and i like it alot just got the mutant cell and its not doing anything forme..i guess im a stroker. im a right hander and tend to throw it on the right side of the lane and have it come in to the pocket but the mutant isnt hooking at all its like im throwing a straight ball...whats a good ball out that will give me alot of backend action for meduim to oily lanes?

also what do you guys do to clean your bowling balls and do you do anything to take the oil out or is that no neccesary?

thanks !

You have a couple of good bowling balls already.There are several things that could be holding you back from the Mutant Cell not working. My first suggestion is to take the ball back to the pro shop that drilled the ball and have them answer some of your questions. Your ball might just need more surface applied to make the Mutant come to life for you. On a typical house shot there should be part of the lane that has more friction for the your ball to work better. Your driller should be able to help you better than we can, because he can watch you bowl and check your ball surface. A new bowling ball at this point probably won't help you solve any of your problems. Some good coaching will be a better option at this point. Yes, you should keep your ball clean with a good cleaner and I am convinced that the microfiber towel works better while bowling to help keep the oil off of the ball.

To answer your second question to clean them immediatly after a set I use a mixture of half rubbing alcohol half simple green. (with a splash of water thrown in) Then after ever 20 games or so I give them hot water baths in the hottest water I can get from the tap.

Personally, I use Power House. It works great, and I use it everytime after I get done bowling.

If you want a good ball cleaner, I advise that !

how is your ball fit? did the same shop drill both rocks? sometimes if it is drilled from a different shop your overall span fit may feel the same,but your pitches could be all out of whack.i had a ball that i found out later had 1/4" neg pitch in 1/8" left.way off from what i prefer.this or something similar could have you not coming through the ball at release,making the ball not work like it should...i have had both of those rocks in the past and the mutant should be 5-10 boards stronger if drilled the same.

and cleaning i just use 91%rubbing alch,but as said above i might try the alch/simple green solution.and the bath method i use too with regular dawn dish soap every month or so....good luck and keep us posted!!
