The Roto Grip advances the popular and successful line of Cell bowling balls with the Hyper Cell Fused. This ball has the fan favorite Nucleus core that is covered with a the strongest Roto Grip Hybrid coverstock to date, the eTrax-H18 Hybrid Reactive coverstock and finished with a 1500 grit polish. eTrax stands for Enhanced Traction and pairs well when facing medium oil to medium heavy oil.

Finally a hybrid Hyper Cell!  The original Hyper Cell was a touch too early for me.  The Hyper Cell Skid was a little too long for me.  The Fused is the PERFECT blend.  It’s clean through the fronts, but smooth enough on the backend. Don’t worry though it still makes plenty of corner.  The Fused clears the heads, revs up a TON in the midlane and never quits on the back.

Excerpt:
The Hyper Cell Fused got strong marks and every bowler enjoyed this ball on house and sport. There are no glaring weaknesses. It reminds me that Storm knows how to make hybrids. Add that to a proven core and the formula works. This ball is really along the lines of the Lock but it may not be totally obvious because of the 1500 grit polished finish. But knowing what we know, this ball will be extremely versatile. It’s hard to picture a bowling style that couldn’t benefit from having this type of motion in their bag.

The Hypercell Fused is the latest release to feature the Nucleus core that has become a benchmark for strong Assym's. They teamed up this powerful core with the eTrax-H18 Hybrid cover to give you a new motion in the HP4 line. The combination compliments previous HP4 releases the No Rules Pearl and Exist. The Fused provides the same powerful hook potential but fits between the NRP and Exist in terms of where the ball reads the lane.

The Fused gives you a clean move through the front and great motion in the mids. I have found the ball particularly useful on lower ratio patterns where the lack of volume in the middle of the pattern makes it difficult to push a solid cover through the front and the out-of-bounds causes a pearl to labor too hard downlane. The Fused reads the area of the lane you need on tougher patterns and still continues great through the pins.

The overall hook potential of the ball allows me to open up my angles more where low ratio patterns tend to make me feel like I'm locked into a weaker ball and straighter angles. I feel like a stronger option opens up the pocket for me so I don't have to sacrifice carry to get my ball to the pocket.

The Hyper Cell Fused is a long overdue addition to the Cell series in the HP4 line of balls from Roto Grip. The Fused brings a new coverstock to the table called eTrax-H18. This is a hybrid version, and has similar characteristics (strong off the spot, but still reads the oil without over skating) to the Hyper Cell Skid. The jet black/silver/violet color combination really catches your eye, and looks great on the ball return. The Hyper Cell Fused uses the same tried and true Nucleus core that was in previous Cells.

I drilled my Hyper Cell Fused 4x5.5x3, using the Storm VLS system. For those who want a visual, the 4x5.5x3 layout puts the pin just to the left and even with my ring finger, and puts the mass bias just a little to the left of my grip line below the thumb (my PAP is currently 5” straight across). I needed a small X hole to make legal, which I placed on my PAP. The Hyper Cell Fused picks up on the lane earlier than my Hyper Cell Skid which has a layout of 5x5.5x2.5. Comparing the Fused to something more current, the Fused is similar through the front of the lane as my Code Red (also a polished hybrid), but comes off the spot stronger and more angular. I have been able to use my Fused on medium to longer patterns ranging from 38-43 feet, with medium to heavy volumes. I have also touched the surface of the Fused with as much as 1000 abralon, to use on the higher volumes, and still had angle in the backend, unlike some balls that smooth out too much and hit flat with surface. The Fused is no different than any other balls that I have thrown with the Nucleus core, in that I can go up the boards, and move in and curve it, depending on release and oil pattern. I believe that versatility is what has made all the Cell balls so good.

Thank you for taking the time to read my review of the Hyper Cell Fused. If you haven’t had the chance to try a ball with the Nucleus core, you don’t want to miss this one. With a versatile Hybrid cover that rolls good in the box shined finish, or with some surface added, the Fused will add a piece in your arsenal that gives you a strong, angular motion through the backend. Own It!

The Hyper Cell Fused has the asymmetrical Nucleus Core with the eTrax-H18 hybrid cover with a very shiny 1500 grit polished surface out of the box.  I drilled mine with a 45 x 4.5 x 75 layout (low pin under). I waited to drill this one for a while as I didn’t want a Storm Intense like motion which was already in my bag. My Storm Intense is 55 x 5.25 x 45 and for me, it reads the midlane earlier than most shiny asymmetrical balls I have thrown. The difference is, the Intense needs some volume or it doesn’t hit real well for me. The 45 x 4.5 x 75 layout on the Fused gives me a much different look. The lower pin and the box surface allows for easy length but I wouldn’t call it an angular motion on the backend. If you like the Intense but lose carry when you don’t have enough volume, this is likely a good alternative.
