I highly doubt it also!

But then again... if it IS truely him, and that's the honest impression that he got from the ball, then it's good that he is being honest.

But me personally, I think the Cell Pearl will be "Ball Of The Year"!

I have 1 drilled up and another will be here tomorrow. I very rarely buy 2 of the same ball but the 1st one is so good that I want to dry a stronger drill on this 2nd one..

This ball can get over/under on the wrong pattern as I found out out Monday night, it like any pearl does not fare well with the following two things going on.

1-Too much oil upfront then it becomes greatly straighter, Cell Solid would be and as is a much better choice as you would think.

2-Wet/dry shot with a very defined oil line, if you leak it a few boards out from keeping it in the oil and then out boom you serious backend reaction that is overreaction.

Overall it gets a solid 9/10 on true mediums, for me it does not handle medium-heavy fresh oil it skates the first 10 feet with ease. I am thinking of 4k no polish to make it a more usable at both centers I bowl at, still a great ball will win ball of the year or at least pearl of the year.

The thing that makes me feel it is not Ozzio, is because he states he won't buy another roto-grip. I can't believe a pro would say that about company, and I think if Ozzio wanted to try a Pearl Cell, I bet Roto-Grip would not make him pay for it!

I am sure he never pays for a ball maybe drilling but not a ball, I know of amateurs that have not payed for a ball in 15 years let alone being Ozio.

I didn't really care about the original Cell myself. It lost all it's luster after 6 games. I've seen other bowlers with the Cell pearl, and didn't see a wow factor on that too.

Seems like a legit reveiew IMO.

If it's really from ozio, who knows, but this is not your normal "bsh" review.

The guy is just giving his opinion on the ball, nothing worng with that, that is the purpose of this site..lol

Chad,

I agree it seems like a very unbiased review, and informative also. I was just questioning the validity of the user name is all.

A pro would never write such generalized review like that based off an experience with one ball.

your the 1st person I have ever seen post something saying a ball died after 6 games.. I doubt that very much.. If you clean a ball after each use, that should not happen..

Trust me it isn't David Ozio that works for Etonic.  I've seen two negative reviews and both people created their screen name the same day as they posted the review.  Seems fishy to me and I emailed the first guy to see if he needed any help.  Due to the bashing in the first negative one and the mention of purchasing other products I had a hard time thinking it wasn't intentional.  

BUT, as everyone stated the purpose of the site is for people to share (good or bad) what they think about the ball.  Even if people are deceiving or just plain upset that is their decision to say what they want.  Since 98% of all the other reviews are positive and I'm sure the overall response will be positive I'm not too worried about it.  The ball could have been drilled improperly for the player for where he/she bowls and there are many other factors that can give someone a bad taste in their mouth about a bowling ball.

Thank you!  Now lets start talking about positives!  LOL

I thought that when he said it "lost its luster" that he was saying that he lost the intrique it had. Otherwords, the honeymoon was over. just my opinion.
You could be right but I understood it another way.

They don't call me Mr. Mirofiber for nothing. I wipe my ball before, during, and after my leagues. I didn't say the ball died, but the ball lost all it's "wow factor" .I've even hit it with 4000 grit ab. It worked a couple of games, then it went limp. My Storm Domination has more snap in the backend than my Cell. Oh well.
