First off, I want to thank JohnP, a member on here for punching my Rogue up. Great guy.
In all honesty, this is the 2nd Roto-grip ball I have ever drilled and thrown. I had a cell pearl, and it was way too over/under.
The Rogue Cell is SOMETHING ELSE. There are NO words to describe this ball. There are no amounts of words to describe this ball.
If you gave me a 15 page essay on this ball, there is no way I could everything I have to say about it on 15 pages.
As long as you get this ball right (im a righty) of the headpin and left of the gutter SOMEWHERE down lane, it got to the pocket. That is sick. BUT, that is only half of what gets me. It f--king carries the world. It never missed the pocket, and when it hit te pocket, it carried 95%-99% of the time.
I personally am a ball whore. I have thrown hundereds of bowling balls. I have never seen anything like this before.
It OUTHOOKS my Virtual Gravity.
It OUTHOOKS my 2nd Dimension.
It OUTHOOKS any ball I have EVER thrown.
And yet it SLIDES FURTHER than my plastic ball.
I know nobody will understand this. It is hands down most VERSATILE ball I have ver thrown. EVER.
A buddy of mine, who averages around 220-230, said "It makes me feel like im cheating..." He threw my ball in his work clothes and sneakers, and shot 279, 290, 233. He then went home and ordered one offline.
After getting it drilled, I came back to the lanes where I used to work and shot 3 games with it. First game starts off with front 7, a few spares here and there, 265 first game. Second game, start off with front 5, a few spare here and there, 229.
After looking and that scores I realized that I was bowling fast, not really consentrating, and just chucking the ball. And I still went 265-229. So I figured I could really do something if I consentrate.
Next game, I slow down, focus and *aim*. I then shoot next 11 in a row, and ring a 10 pin on the last shot...299.
Prolly less than 10 games OOB, and it has already secured the spot as my "go-to" ball.
I have never voted for a ball of the year, and I know it is early 2009. But I think this ball is something every competitive bowler should consider.
If you want something that is more versatile than you could dream of, this is it.
Well like I said, I could go on for more 15 pages about this ball(and I dont even have 10 games on it). This ball is truly something special, something that I have yet to come across in the 10 1/2 years ive bowled.
There have been good balls, great balls, and even amazing balls. If I HAD to describe one word, it would be "perfect".
Here is a pic of mine...

Thank you for reading(or skimming),
