I would recommend NOT drilling another CELL to go longer. As I've posted on a previous thread, after I got my original 2 CELL's I got 2 more and drilled them in identical layouts but a 1" longer pin to PAP difference to allow me to go straighter through the fronts. In "normal" balls, that would make a big difference in controlling the flare and change the shape. It didn't make a bit of difference in the CELL. Shortly after I drilled them I had a lesson with Hank in Milwaukee and he said because of the shape of the core that helps maintain differential the difference would have to be larger. So in this case I went from an original ball of 5" pin to PAP, to 6" and it should have been at least 6.5" to see a noticable difference. However, in doing so I risk making the flare hit all my holes.
To me the choice is clear.
Bottom line, you have a choice to get a Gravity (with a similar cover) now or wait who knows how long, and lose who knows how much money betting on the come. PLUS, how do we know yet if the Pearl CELL, or whatever it's going to be, is even going to be that different of a look that you're seeking?
