Title: Ball Selection question
Post by: Jorge300 on April 03, 2009, 12:19:59 AM

Ok Roto guys, I am hoping to hear back from a few of you. I am preparing for Nationals, and some other tournaments in the near future. I am RH, about 18-19MPH, with 390-400RPM. I currently have a Cell, pin down, 1000 abralon, Cell, pin up, OOB, and a Hy-Road pin up, OOB at the top end of my arsenal. I am looking to fill holes and am thinking of getting one of the new "aggressive" pearls, like the Cell Pearl, 2nd Dimension, Hot Sauce Pearl, etc. But I am also interested in the Rouge Cell, as I do like the hybrid cover of the Hy-Road, and I find it to be stronger then my original thinking.

So based on that limited knowledge, which do you think is a better fit,a hybrid Rogue or a straight Cell Pearl, 2nd Dimension? And please feel free to let me know if you think I am off base as well, I am a big boy, I won't cry for too long, promise.

On most conditions my Cell Pearl hooks about the same as my Cell just creats a different angle. The Pearl does allow me to get deeper and doesn't burn out a much as the Original as the lanes dry. I am getting a Rogue but it will have to go above the other two if it reads the mids like the Cell and turns in the back like the Pearl. I would say if you want to be below the Hy-Road you need to go Pearl or Grand Illusion.

Lapdog,
   I am actually looking for something between the longer Cell and the Hy-Road, as I think this is too big a jump. But it sounds like neither the Rogue or the Pearl fits exactly there.

Jorge:

Not enough info to help effectively bro.  Pin-up or down is fine but we need pin to PAP distances, MB positions, axis coordinates to help.
