Hyper Cell Fused Review:

I tested the Hyper Cell Fused on a fresh THS (Typical House Shot) and was able to get comfortable with this ball very quickly. As you can see from the video the hitting power of this asymmetrical ball is outstanding. I got length although it noticeably read earlier in the mid lane than the last Cell ball, the Hyper Cell Skid. This is most likely due to the solid within the hybrid.

I played between 18-20 with my feet and targeted 9 down lane. This ball is very forgiving as if I missed right it would recover to the pocket and if I was a little inside it would hold. From what I can see early on it is similar to my No Rules Pearl that is sanded to 3000 Abralon.

I think bowlers, especially strokers and tweeters, will find this ball to be an asset within their arsenal. I'm definitely excited to use it the next night of league!

Roto Grip Hyper Cell Fused Ball Review by PJ Haggerty

The Cell line has been my favorite line of balls over the past several years.  The original Hyper Cell still goes everywhere with me and I was excited to hear the Hyper Cell Fused was being released.  The Nucleus engine is still under the hood, but the Fused has a new hybrid cover (e-Trax H18).  From what I’ve seen so far, this is a nice step down from my Hyper Cell and No Rules Exist. 

I’ve drilled my Fused as: 5 x 4 ½ x 70.  This puts the pin above my bridge and the mass bias just to the right of my thumb.  The Fused is very strong and also takes surface very well.  It comes out of the box pretty shiny, but I changed my surface to 2000 to take some of the shine off.  There definitely has to be a good amount of oil on the lane to use the Fused, so I’d recommend drilling it for the longer patterns. 

Go drill another great addition to the Cell line!

If you’re looking for a lot of hook, or specifically a lot of backend, the Fused is going to be the ball of choice.  It features the Nucleus core from the Cell series, but has a new hybrid cover on it. Despite the shiny out of box finish, it’s still an aggressive ball, and just keeps coming on the backend.  I find it to be best either for very straight games that need help with some punch on the backend, or for higher rev games to get very deep and be able to be firm with it without worrying about it getting down the lane OR finishing on the backend.  If you miss your Hyper Cell Skid, this is that ball, but with a little more punch.

I absolutely LOVE the Hyper Cell Fused. This ball seems to work on absolutely anything, whether you need to keep the ball in front of you for longer oil conditions, or if you need to move in and open up the lane, the Hyper cell fused is for you. The eTrax-H18â„¢ Hybrid Reactive cover wrapped over the ever so popular Nucleus Core is a HOMERUN!!! I drilled my Fused with a 60x4 1/8x75 with a P3 Hole. My axis is 3 3/4 over and 7/8 up. Go out and get this very versatile HP4 ball today! #OwnIT

I am very pleased with my Hyper Cell Fused! After throwing it a few times in practice, I realized that it was a bit more 'skid flip' than I what I was looking for. I lightly hit it with a 2000 pad (by hand) and was able to get the reaction I wanted.

When my Son!q is starting too early, I can easily make the change to the Hyper Cell Fused and get to striking again. I found that I had to move a board or two right when switching to the hyper cell fused. In a different tournament, also on a modified house shot with an out of bounds around 5, I was able to start with my Hyper Cell Fused and play relatively straight - sliding about 19-20 with a breakpoint around 8. As the day went on, I followed it left and was able to stick with the Fused for all 9 games that day.

The Hyper Cell Fused has a solid spot in my tournament arsenal - Open Championships, Women's Championships, Queen's, etc. I see myself rolling it and playing straighter with it at the start of a tournament or it being something I change to when needing a little extra length with pop.

The HyperCell Fused is the latest HP4 release from the crew at RotoGrip. The eTrax-H18 Hybrid Reactive cover is the wheel around the engine, the crazy popular Nucleus Asymmetrical block. I drill for a bunch of Roto-Heads and all of them were stoked when they heard about this ball. I drilled mine using a 5x4x2.5 and this ball was a flare monster...the five inch pin location still created flare rings that just about encompassed the ball...crazy. In my head I was assuming a look on the lane that resembled the Storm CodeRed, but what I saw from the HyperCell was way more energy down lane. We bowl on a THS with 42ft of Kegel Current conditioner, it's not hard to hit the pocket but I have lower axis tilt and at times when I get my feet in the pattern it's tricky to bounce my stuff back. I had no problem looping the Fused around the corner and still retaining great hitting power. This ball is worth the price of admission! I've drilled the Fused for a bunch of people so far and I am happy to report that four of those people have had honor scores with it....woooo!!! Go grab a HyperCell Fused from your local shop, you will not be disappointed. It looks awesome, It hits like a ton of bricks and you'll toss pretty high numbers with it. Great release from Chris and the Gang! #ownit

The Hyper Cell Fused is the latest Cell release and it is a good one.  The combination of hybrid reactive eTrax-H18 cover stock and the proven Nucleus Core gives the HC Fused a strong continuous motion.  Did not be misled by the continuous motion, HC Fused will turn the corner at the end of the pattern.  The HC Skid was one of my favorite Asymmetrical bowling balls and I was hoping for something a little stronger and maybe a less dynamic on the backend.  The HC Fused is all of that and more.  The shiny Hybrid shell can be sanded to allow for more versatility.  I used mine right out of the box with no surface alterations and I found that the eTrax-18 hybrid shell is a little sensitive to the dry boards.  With that being said compared to the HC Skid or the Storm Intense, the HC Fused was continuous and readable.  I had confidence that if I threw it well the HC Fused was going to react whether inside or outside of desired target! The Intense sometimes has a tendency to squirt or dig in on me especially on a house pattern or my angles would have to be wide open.  That is not my “A Game”.  My rev rate is around 300 and have medium ball speed.  My “A Game” is straighter and closer to the dry outside boards and usually a BIG HOOKING Bowling Ball is not necessarily the answer.  But what I noticed with the HC Fused is that I could begin a touch closer to the dry boards and chase the pattern left with ease.  The HC Fused really blended the over under really well for being shiny.  Something else I noticed with the HC Fused as the session continued and lanes began to break down the HC Fused really shined.  It had the perfect blend of mid lane control and stored energy for the backend.  Not a ton of Sid Flip but roll with a strong finish.  The layout I used was pin over the fingers and Cg kicked out with a weight hole down.  Offhand I do not know the exact Dual Angle coordinates but it is close to 50 or 60 X 5.5 X 45 that is based off my Axis point which is 5 5/8 over and ¾ up.  The overall performance of the HC Fused exceeded my expectations! 

The Hyper Cell Fused is a great addition to the HP4 Line and also the entire arsenal from RotoGrip.
