Hyper Cell line - what will be better?
« on: January 03, 2015, 08:01:07 PM »
I have using the Hyper Cell now for just about a year. I will have the Skid on 1/6. and I am hoping for a future Hyper Cell with a hybrid cover. I wonder what idea Roto Grip has to better this ball. IMO I can't see a solid with the cage core being as good? The way the H/C hits with the power continuous drive, that most of the time slaps out the 10. So how can you better this ball? Only time will tell, but if the H/C ever becomes discontinued, I will make sure I have a few stashed away!

You must have a lot more oil than we do in this area

Maybe we do have a little more oil, or maybe its because I play more down and in with more speed? Whatever it is the H/C works for me. I rarely get to use my Uproar.

I'm a believer in the sinister.  I'd expect a solid sinister, IF they are sticking around with it.

My HC and sinister make a great 1/2 punch especially if you bowl on synthetics and want to stay assym...

Sometimes I have trouble with my Sinister not finishing strong enough ( flat 10's) and then sometimes its perfect. Of course it depends on the lane condition. I believe with the Skid I will have exactly what I need!

I had a HC I drilled 90/3.25/40 that I added a P3 to. I never really threw it because the layout was a bad match for me.

Then I got the Skid 2 weeks ago. Went 55/5/70. Absolute monster!!!! Scary strong on house shots.

I know exactly what you mean, I have to ensure that the sinister get into a roll.  I struggle when I get too fast and the ball comes in the pocket behind headpin.  I have found if I do my best to slow everything down, it rolls better than everything I have...which is a lot to choose from. I have set it before the 'weak' attributes of this ball make it unique.  Its like its r2s with an asymmetric core.  I love it!

Spot on, if the Sinister does not get into it's roll, it seems to deflect more and not drive, and when playing  a touch softer does tend to help. I prefer to roll the ball with more speed. When I try to open the lanes up I tend to be a bit more erratic, because its not my A game. That's why I believe the Skid will match up better for me.

Metal rules: did you get your skid yet???

I'd like to know how it is drilled along with the orig HC and how different they are for you. I'm really thinking about buying another HC and making sure I nail the layout!!!

Oh ya I got it, can I say ball of the year already!  This ball is so smooth through the heads then has a strong move that drives through the deck. I don't have exact numbers for my layouts, so I will try to explain them instead. I am r/h. First the Solid Hyper Cell. The weight on this ball is 15.3 with 2.96 top. It has a 3.5 - 4 inch pin. The mass bias or psa is about 1 3/8 to the right of where the pin and the cg line up. I have the pin above the ring, but not directly under the pin, shifted to the left about a 1/2 inch. My thumb is 3.5 inches from the psa. So my guess on the layout is 4x2 3/4 x 2 with a balance hole 2.5 inches to the right of the c/g.---------------------------- Now the Skid -- weight is 15.2 --top 2.17 it also has a 3.5  to 4 inch pin. Now the mass bias or psa is about 3/4 of an inch to the left of where the pin and the c/g line up. I have the pin over the ring (same as solid).My thumb is 2 1/4 inches from the psa. So my guess is 4 x 3.5 x 2 with a balance hole 2.5 inches to the right of the c/g. All I can say is the layout works. The Skid clears the heads with ease then just comes back with a really STRONG move. Now IMO, I have to keep my speed up, I cant get soft or it will flip sooner. I absolutely love this ball! Once in a while you just match up with core and cover, at least I have. I have extra confidence when I use this ball. It has my vote for ball of the year. YES ITS THAT GOOD!

My team mate won a ball in a raffle and he got the hyper cell skid.  what a beast!
This guy usually hooks it between 5-7 boards as he is up the back of the ball.  This thing had him swinging the ball out to five which he never had to do before.  His expression was priceless as he stood at his normal spot he throws and the Skid proceeded to dive for the seven pin.
If you're so gutless as to hide behind the ignore button while taking shots at people....why are you even here?
