Well I threw the Cell Pearl for a few shots tonight, along with the Grand Illusion. Both were strong. Very strong!
The lanes were medium to dry, and a pretty rubbishy shot. I ended up, as seems to be usual for me now, using my 1.5" pin neptune, however I did have a few lashes with my two new balls.
The Cell Pearl is laid out with a high 4.5" pin, with the MB in the strong position, and a weight hole around my axis. The ball seemed strong in the midlane, which i expected with this drilling, and very strong on the back end. The ball was hooking so much on these lanes that it seemed to be rolling out, so the reaction was rather eratic, but the few shots where i hit the pocket, it decimated the pins. I really wish there had been more oil to throw this a little more, and i expect it to be VERY good on longer and heavier patterns!
