Title: What about a weaker version of the cell
Post by: J_w73 on May 11, 2009, 08:59:04 AM
OK.. the core is the best ever some say..   Alot of people including me can never really use our cell because it is just too strong.  I got rid of mine for that reason.. Never saw a condition that it seemed to work on for more than 5 frames...

why not put it in a ball with a weaker cover.  Something for that can be used for a wider variety of conditions

I would think that there is a definite relationship between the core and the cover. If the core is too strong for the coverstock the ball might become erratic. To me a better solution would be to drill the cell weaker. I have 3 cells and my "get me out of trouble" cell has a 1 1/2" pin to pap with the mb directly below my thumb. Not too much flare, nice smooth arc, very controllable.

I don't have one, but from what I've seen a Cell Pearl minus polish covers pretty much everything but the extremes.

Get a grand Illusion go pin up and never look back, low pin on Grands seem to roll too early for my liking.

The Grand is best cheap ball out there, maybe a Pin Slasher is close but about nothing else.

i couldnt agree more about the grand illusion, its a very underrated ball, it has a medium to weak core but a very aggressive coverstock, its a nice piece to put under the cell line but something more aggressive then the roto planet series, i dont think there is another symmetrical that can touch it other than maybe the 900 global maniac
