Wow!  Finally got a chance to throw it last night and I'm very impressed.  Decided to go with a familiar layout.  Pin 5" below ring, MB at 55* and hole on VAL through CG.   Box finish.   I love the color combo.

Now, how to describe the roll....Strong roll off the spot comes to mind.  No jerk but there is a change of direction and then just a heavy continuous roll.  Very controllable and it reads transition very well.  Used it on an overwalled house-shot where the scores were very low.  Extremely wet-dry (like hit 6 go runaway brooklyn...hit 7 smack 3 in face).  The Cell allowed me to cross into the dry but with a controlled roll off the spot.  But when I missed in a little, it still recovered.  It was very forgiving on a shot that is normally my nemesis because of my rotation.  Moves were very predictable.  Managed a 720 with a 262 sweep the last game (don't ask ).  

It should get some play the next week.  Lots of tournaments this weekend and through New Year's days so I'll have more info and comparisons later.  But the Cell, a solid covered ball that has some "angle" and continuation, will be a big hit for Roto.

Where's my camera?

I drilled the ball with the pin 5" from my PAP above the fingers and the MB 3" from my PAP the balance hole is small and on my midline.

I placed the ball on the determinator and noticed that the ball spun to the MB in 6" seconds stabilized and then moved on. The continuation of a Symmetric ball with the strong move of an Asymmetric.

Took it to the lanes: Box finish for the reviews below.

41' med wet THS - Phenomenal reaction same motion that I saw on the determinator. The continuation off of the spot was great.  THE BIG ADVANTAGE is that the ball did not jump when I missed into the dry.  It arced strongly but did not over hook.  The hit is very impressive, strong pin action.

PBA Shark 44'- I was anxious to try this ball on the new Shark pattern due to the fact that the new Shark pattern has a bit more friction wide of third arrow.  I have been using a 800 Horizon Solid with pin low 4"x4". The Cell was about 5 - 8 boards stronger than the Horizon with my feet and I did not have to alter my ball speed for this long pattern. The Cell will also be a great ball for carrydown.  This ball motion is strong.

PBA Cheetah 35' - The pattern was way too short for this ball with this layout. I could stand as far away from the edge as I wanted and as long as I got it to the 2-3 board it came back. Hit was huge.          

Overall - The continuation off of the spot is the most impressive part of this new monster.  The fact that I could use it in box form on both a THS and on Sharks says a lot for the cover on this ball.  Any one who has trouble getting a ball to finish will love this ball.

BTW my ball speed is in the 19 MPH range with a rev rate of about 350 - 375 .
