Cell Pearl - new info
« on: August 26, 2008, 10:18:39 AM »
This is NOT an international release...

CELL Pearl

The time of reckoning has arrived and the Roto Grip Kingdom welcomes the addition of the newest legend of the land. Bred from the original and designed to compliment its predecessor, the Cell Pearl will reign supreme.

The technologically advanced and performance proven Nucleus core delivers continuous predictable motion for all types of bowlers.  The Cytoplasmic X pearl reactive coverstock is a first in the industry with the optimum amount of porosity and enhanced surface friction.

The synergy of core and coverstock on the Cell Pearl generates a strong angular move off the spot on those medium to lighter volume patterns with unprecedented predictability.  This ball is the ultimate compliment to the original and will surely dominate the entire bowling kingdom…

FACTS

Factory Finish:  1500 Polished

Track Flare Potential: 7+ Inches

Lane Condition:  Medium Oil

Cover Stock:  Cytoplasmic X Pearl Reactive

Weight Block:  Nucleus Core in 14 – 16lb & Modified Nucleusâ„¢ Core in 12 & 13lb

Color: Emerald / Cherry Red / Fluorescent Blue

D-Scale:  73 - 75

Available Weights:  12 - 16 Pounds

dunno - but it was PBA approved yesterday.  Maybe Roger or someone else in the know can chime in here.

I seriously doubt it will be Jan 09.  The ball is available to PBA guys now - Jan. would be a huge delay the would probably tick off league bowlers.  I am guessing Oct. but again it would be nice for someone in the know to give us the real date.

The info came from a very well known pro shop in Iowa so take it for what it's worth.

It will probably be Oct 09, PBA players like Wes Mallot who is signed with Roto, will be allowed to use them and give feedback to Roto on the ball

I'll have more information after labor day weekend!  We wanted to get this PBA approved asap so that Wes Malott can start using it in competition.

Release date is tentatively scheduled for October.

Having been given the go-ahead from Roger, I’d like to share with you my thoughts on this ball.  Since BR doesn’t have this posted yet on the review section, I’ll use this forum to let the Kingdom fans know what’s coming.

I’ve been fortunate enough to test this ball most of the summer and have seen it on THS, Kegel Navigation and PBA-X patterns.  Mine was drilled 5-1/4” X 45* with hole on axis left in box finish shiny.  This ball rolls as smooth as the original and gets to the spot cleaner, and gives the “look” of kicking harder down lane - all of which you’d expect for a pearl version.  The performance on the lane reminds me of how dominant the X-Factor was when it was released in 2002.  That ball was easy to skid, always returned from the spot and never freaked out if you pulled it into the oil.  The pearl CELL is very reminiscent of that ball release when you compare it to this era of bowling equipment and lane conditions we currently bowl on.

Dare I say…this CELL could be better than the previous CELL!!  I know with as much success as I’ve had with the original that is a BIG statement, but I think it will be true.  I can’t wait to get my “official” versions in October – this is going to be an absolute winner!

If you have more specific question PM me and I’ll be glad to answer them.

Since the Grand Illusion is touted as the compliment to the Cell, what's the difference in reaction shapes to justify owning both?

I gather the Cell pearl will or should have more length and make a stronger turn????

I'm not waiting THAT long...  

Can't wait to hear what my local pro shop operator will say.  He sold a bunch of Cells and is on the verge of putting his on the used/for sale rack because he doesn't see enough oil for it.

With those colors, you'd have difficulty proving to me that Mo Pinel didn't suggest them.

Roger,

Yes, thats a good idea!! LOL.. I saw his Cell Pearl sitting on the table beside his drill press Monday when I was at his house and man that ball looks sweet. I know Wes will be happy that he can finally use the Cell pearl, thats for sure..

I also saw the Golden Globe, also a great looking ball IMO..
