Cell death?
« on: November 01, 2008, 02:26:49 AM »
I know I'm going to hate myself for asking, but here we go.... All you "clean it more" and "it's my fault" guys get your fingers ready... I'm really looking for the rest of you, the ones who are out there thinking "I thought I was the only one"...

I love my Cell. It's my favorite ball of all time. Last year I got it 6 weeks before the end of league.. It truly and literally saved my season. When nothing else would bend, the Cell came through, and the hit was awesome...
But now, at about 40-45 games, it's terrible. I use Clean and Dull every 6 games ("3 game" cleaners, there's your opening....) It rolls up to the pocket weakly and just hits like a wet noodle ("it's my fault" robots, there's your chance).

Now, for those non-liberals among us who read the facts, try the following...
1. Same league, same shot.
2. Every other ball in my bag is cleaned on the same schedule.
3. No other ball is reacting different than last year including my Vertigo, Total Inferno, and Special Agent plus others.

Let me repeat again... I love my Cell, but it needs to last longer... (Oops, "200,000 games on mine" people, here's your chance)

Constructive comments appreciated, just read through all the crap I know I'll see from the double digit IQ crowd...

Any ideas? Others?

Right now your ball's coverstock is at about 600grit so you need to take it back to 2000grit(factory OOB) but would do a hot water bath to extract oil first as others have stated. Normal wear and tear from a period of use will leave  your coverstock at about 600grit. A 600grit ball is never going to react like a higher grit ball, in this case your cell at 2000grit.
