Hi All,
Well the next Cell is upon us...and boy does this one have alot to live up to after the last release...

I had alot of expectations and high hopes for this ball after the Tremendous success of the original cell...and i was NOT disappointed! Clears the heads great, picks up nicely in the midlane with a consistent STRONG backend reaction, not skid flippy just very aggressive off the spot...
I dont like to use the term "better" too much because no ball is really better than another, it all depends on the conditions and the bowler..BUT for me, this ball is "better" than the original, simply due to the fact that it seems like it will cover a broader range of conditions for a longer period of time...i know a bunch of people who start off league/tournament using a cell who end up switching halfway through the second game because the cell is simply too much.
Tonight in league i used the Cell Pearl from start to finish, ending up 6-7 boards deeper with my feet by the end of the night...what i look for when this happens is if a ball is able to retain energy and "cornering power" as i chase the oil line in, and this ball does that VERY well...this is in part due to the continuation through the deck that we all know and love about the original cell...guess what folks, this ball goes through the deck the exact same way, and seems to carry from any angle, i left 1 ten pin tonight on my last ball of the night when i got in and really gave it some room to see how well this ball would recover...most of my leaves on good shots were 4 pins which signaled it was time to move...i shot 703, not anything spectacular, just a consistent night, no surprises...
Time will tell, but in my opinion this ball will sell better and be more popular than the original cell, simply because it is a more "useable" version of the orignal for most people on a typical house shot. The tournament bowler will also love it for its consistent midlane read shot after shot, and its ability to come back from places other balls can not...
Video coming soon...
