First Night With My Cell and Thoughts About Poor Carry
« on: February 20, 2008, 03:22:54 PM »
Tonight was my first full league night with my Cell and here are my thoughts about the ball and also some thoughts about those who have had a problem with the carry of this ball.

For my style, a stroker playing the second arrow and not standing left of the center line I found that this ball likes a nice tight line and will give you  a in creditable amount of carry. Swing it a bit wide and it will leave the 10 pin pretty much all the time and more so then some other ball I had when I missed right.

I had more flat out ripped decks then any other ball in a long time with this ball tonight. I did sneak in a few light hits in, but most were nothing but a thing of beauty from this ball. The continuation of this ball was spectacular to say the least. I had so much fun with it tonight that I could not take it out of play in the third game, when I know I should have. 243, 240 and a 216 for a 693 OOB. I had my chance in the the 11th of the third game for the 700 but it over hooked on me. (side note, I have only had 4, 700 series in my life and 2 were this earlier year)

I will post a pic later of my drilling but it is pretty much a 4.5 x 4 (pin, MB) drilling with no weight hole. Pin right above my ring finger with no surface change. Not sure of my pin buffer, sorry.

Great Job Roto Grip

I had the issue of the ball really getting up and going when the oil broke down. But I love this ball so much I went out and got another one Pro-CG. The CG is 2 1/2 left of the center line. Pin out 4.5. I drilled it up pin one center line 3 inches up. That gets through any heads but keeps its strong back end arc. I have only had that Cell around a week but I am already starting to preffer the new one.

You're making a mistake many people do; so don't feel bad. You absolutely CANNOT generalize from one bowler & his release, one drilling and one lane surface + oil pattern to the general behavior of that ball for everyone.

A friend's carry percentage with his Cell jumps significantly when he starts the swing this ball on several oil patterns. My carry is very good with a medium to medium-large hook on several oil patterns with my Cell drilled differently from my friend's drilling.

Glad you had so much fun and GREAT scoring with this ball. I have found it to be a very good ball, much better than average and with more forgiveness than average.

Roto really needs to release a Pearl version of this ball, the Solid does tend to over do it when the Oil thins out up front!

Try 4000 grit, Dr. Mine flew thru the heads and midlane with that surface. I was very surprised.
