cell,i am not done yet
« on: February 28, 2008, 09:54:52 AM »
I think i have finally found out how and where to play the cell. Knowing that friction is key for recovery and no ball will hook in true heavy long oil I took my cell at 400 grit drilled 4x2 pin under bridge to practice on a shot i knew would be pretty dry.I know i am going to catch flack for this ,i need a coach ,learn how to bowl,forget about this ball its too good for me ,blah blah blah. Any way as i was saying,this house lays down a 39 foot xmas tree and they oil twice a day i think . the middle is wet and the dry boards outside 10 are where i needed to be. First game 225. Cell is coming out of the dry and ripping the rack nicely. If i kept in in the oil it wouldnt finish,if i got to fast it wouldnt finish. on a whole the ball worked fairly well on this shot .No burn up or over /under and very few 10 pins on a much drier shot than i would see even for regular league night. so for me the cell is what the pluto was supposed to be. I was also throwing a polished nvs and a phenom unleashed at 1000.They were both earlier and stronger off the break than the cell. I am a good 5 boards stronger with the nvs and probably 7 to 10 with the phenom unleashed. So for me the cell is the third game ball when the nvs is over hooking . no need to polish it or redrill it i got my dry lane ball so let the bashing begin ,but this is the best look i have had from my cell since i bought it . Most people say it needs oil ,i have seen just the opposite,maybe it will get stronger as it breaks in but for now if theres oil it stays in the bag.

Yup....that's what it sounds like to me, too!

You've got an overly strong drill on your ball, with a dull surface to boot!
But by doing that, you eliminate a lot of factors.

Now all you have to do is keep your speed up, hit your mark......and let that big ole core take over, at the end!

Well Bruh, whatever fits your game! If it works for you....keep doing it!
Good luck!

With my Cell (drilled pin just above and outside of ring, cg slightly toward PAP, MB in line - something like a 4.5 x 3.5 layout, with a medium low track) I cannot play in the dry.  I have had great success (averagine about 230 for my 12 games on it so far) by bumping down the oil line, just inside of it (in my house this is about 8 board at the arrows).  Tied for being my strongest ball (though if I were to clean my Super Carbide Bomb the Cell would probably be 2d), with great continuation - sometimes too much (anyone ever left a flush 9-10 before?).  And the really good news is, if I tug it, it holds.
