Had first night of league last night.  Last year my eternal cell turned the corner nice but last night it was not making its typical move to the pocket.  Center said they put down a little more oil this year.  Shouldn't notice it they say.  I don't believe it.  What other storm or roto grip ball would I go to.  I like the look of the no rules but would it be too strong.  How many more boards of hook would it be than the eternal cell?  Any suggestions.

Well never thought of that.  What surface?  2000?  Won't thatmake it Not have much backend at all?

I wish our center would put more oil. Storm Ride and Brunswick Rhino are normally my best options on the house shot.

Like it was suggested above, I'd change the surface on the Eternal Cell before looking to buy another ball. Im personally a fan of using 3000 abralon

This may be a dumb question but can I make the surface 3000 and then hit it with polish to shine it up?  Will it still be 3000 finish but just shiny?

Any thoughts of adding a little surface to the Eternal Cell? You may not need another ball.

Another alternative is just move feet and target 1 - 3 boards further to the outside depending on the amount of oil.

I have a polish and a compound.  Polish would be better correct? 

It depends on the surface you want to achieve.
Polishes: you can usually put almost any grit as a base level and then polish with as much pressure, polish and time on the spinner to achieve the amount of shine/gloss you want/need.

Compounds are usually more aggressive (they have more of duller abrasives than polishes); so you can start with fuller base grit levels and then take it in steps to where you want.
For example: Brunswick often uses 500 grit as the base and then uses Rough Buff or Royal Compound on the spinner to bring the surface to the 3000 - 4000 grit range.
They also, on a very few balls start with a 500/1000/1500 grit base level, apply the same compounds and get a polished finish. (For me this 2nd method winds up with almost no difference from using a 2000/2500 grit base and then applying polish.)

With both compounds and polish, once you gain some experience, with the proper base coat, you can achieve almost any level of polish and there fore skid & backend. As mentioned in some previous replies in this thread, 4000 grit pad over a 500 or 1000 grit base can emulate a lightly polished surface.

With both, experimentation and testing is the best way to gain experience to get the surface you need/want.
*Be warned that the surface you want may not be the surface you need. *

I do not have the Eternal Cell but have had all the others in the Cell line. The NoRules is very strong. May have to go higher grit on mine

I soaked the ball in a bucket of hot soapy water awhile ago.  Pulled out some oil.  Had the ball about a year now.  Keep it clean.  Is a detox better than hot water?
