With all the hype on this ball, I am getting way tempted. But I'm afraid it may be too much for my needs. Here's what I'm looking for - I bowling two leagues on Anvilane with a 38' THS, probably medium to medium-heavy. I've only been bringing two balls with me - a Shock and Awe and a pearl Power Groove. I can normally stay around the second arrow (+/- 3 boards) with a breakpoint around 5 most of the night. This works for me 75% of the time.
On some nights, it seems as if everyone is playing right around this same area and it gets really difficult to find a consistent shot. The problem is that if I try to move inside everyone the Shock and Awe just won't finish. I'm looking for something that would allow me to be inside this line (so I could bump the dry) and still finish. Would the Cell work here or is it going to be too strong for this short of a pattern? If you think it would work, what drilling would you use (PAP= 4 1/2 over and 3/8 up, 16mph by the pin deck, med revs).
Thanks in advance.

It is a strong ball but if it is to strong you could polish it up and should do the trick

lsf, you have a good point. And it won't take much convincing for me to get one punched up.

How can you say that, watching everyone throw it??? A few different styles using it well, ESPECIALLY PBA caliber bowlers, does NOT mean it's right for everyone. feh! You can't say that about any ball.

Charlest-
You can rest assured that the final decision will come from a discussion I will have with my pro shop guy (who is more than capable). I just wanted to get some additional insight before I talk with him.
Trust me, while I like seeing what the PBA guys can do with a ball, I do not consider myself to be in their league.

charlest are you in a grumpy mood tonight man?!?!
YES! I am.
The wife wouldn't let me sub just because I had a half bottle of good red wine with dinner. I got 2 separate calls to sub tonight. She's right, I shouldn't drive, but I am "slightly" annoyed! mostly at myself.
PS Like your reply to Sleepy about honor scores. I edited mine.

Hmmm, we'll ask Bob to be the judge. He's impartial.
You missed Sunday which was Neptune Time (tm).

mis-type. Saturday.
OK, I'll dig out my polished B/G Centaur and you give me my 20 pins per game as per usual. Or was that 25?

Thanks Mark. I appreciate the insight. I've talked with my pro shop and I think I'm going to swing by tomorrow to take care of it.

if you are playing second arrow with a shock and awe the cell will definantly elevate your game and open up the lanes for you on a 38 foot shot.
