Roto Grip X-Cell utilizes the e-Trax Ultra solid coverstock and the Nucleus weightblock + AI core.  The X-Cell is a tank, meaning it wants to roll early (but not too early) and smooth backend motion.  A great choice for heavier oil patterns with fresh backends.  The visual effect is an Alpha Crux vibe, which is a good start.  The on-the-lane performance is in the Eternity PI or Reality category.  The new e-Trax Ultra coverstock has a R2S shape to it in this X-Cell.  The X-cell seems to be gaining traction on the professional levels as indicated by its use at the recent Jonesboro Trio tournament, which normally means “good ball”.

The X-Cell is not the strongest ball in terms of board coverage but will be able to handle heavy oil with fresh backends.  I think the X-Cell is going to be a very versatile bowling ball.  The team at Storm almost always get the cover preparation correct when they send them out, but shining your X-Cell might be an option.
