What was the preferred drill pattern for the Cell at the USBC Open last year? I would like to buy one this year before I go to Vegas and am thinking of trying the 5x3 B pattern. I will rarely, if ever get to use this ball in leauge because of the dry conditions, so I would really like to set up the Cell for tournament conditions. My stats are: PAP up .5" and over 3.75", 30 degree axis rotation, low axis tilt, high revs, and 16.5 mph ball speed.
One other question. During a recent college tournament at my home center, one of the college bowler's Cell had a chunk taken out near their PAP. The ball only had four games on it and the Bowling Center agreed to buy the kid a new ball. Anyway, the damaged Cell was easily repaired and they are asking $100 drilled. Is it worth it or would I be better off with a new ball? It was originally drilled stacked leverage, but I would rather have it 5x3 B.
