I'd suggest: Nomad pearl or polished Riot.

Nomad solid is likely to be too close to the Cell Pearl.

Just my 2 cents,

Charlest, do you mind explaining why? Because the nomad solid is the ball I was leaning toward...

Nomad is a strong benchmark ball that will be close to the Rogue Cell but not quite as strong.

Since you haven''t mentioned surface change I am assuming both balls are box surface.  I would look at either a 4000 abralon Riot or a 4000 abralon Furious to fit right between the two.

I think Charlest misread your post because you have rogue cell listed, but he addressed it as though you had a cell pearl.  I would say that the nomad solid would be a decent choice in-between the rogue and the mars.  The riot polished, a cell pearl, or a nomad pearl would work well too.

I figure that the pearlized stuff will give you the best fit inbetween as far as overall hook, but the look at the breakpoint will be more angular than either of the pieces in your bag (as the Mars is kinda rolly for a polished piece).  I would go with the riot (polished) or the nomad solid if your trying to keep a similar look at the breakpoint with a somewhat inbetween reaction (though these will probably be a touch closer to the rogue than the mars)

Hyroad would be an excellent fit...You meet your storm/roto "wish" and you have the rogue cell, a dull, smooth arcing solid, a hybrid controllable strong-rolling Hyroad as your benchmark, and the Mars for the dry...my 2 cents

Sorry, I had not come back to this thread since I had replied.

No, Balls Deep, I think the Nomad solid is too close to the Rogue Cell. The NS is not a weak ball. The NS might be a goto ball, in the same league or tournament, for when the Rogue Cell is pinging 10 pins or burning up.

To fit between the RC and the Mars, the Nomad Pearl or a polished Riot is a better fit, as an arsenal. Actually the space between a Rogue Cell and Mars is fairly large.

That said, if you could afford it, I think you'd need two ball to fit between the RC and the Mars, the two Nomads or a Nomad Solid and a polished Riot should also make a better arsenal filler. So you'd have either
RC, NS, NP and Mars
or
RC, NS, NP and Mars.

Thanks to all the imput on this topic. I have made the decision to go with the nomad pearl. For what its worth, the Mars is a lot stronger than it has been advertised, so i can actually use it on med-dry conditions by changing target & hand position. All of you have been a great help. Thanks again.
