Does anybody have any new information on this ball?

Official release date?

Has anybody had a chance to talk to anybody with inside information yet?

I punched both of mine up and threw one tonight.  Went with a 5.5 x 5.5 MB x 2.5 pin buffer...my initial impression is that even with the "weaker" layout i put on it, it still needed a ton of oil to get down the lane.  The house im bowling at has a pretty big puddle in the middle and some friction right...once i started throwing the ball well i jumped in the puddle and just kept chasing my own breakdown in.  I didnt have a virtual gravity with but the overall hook is most likely more, but the motion is much smoother.  Continuious, but smoother.  Just like the virtual gravity, this ball seems to have the ability to maintian energy and corner from deeper angles and get through the pins strong.

I went with a 5 x 3 x 4 layout on the other one, but didnt throw it yet.  I need a big arcing/smooth rolling heavy oil ball and i think this will be it from what i saw out of the first one.  This ball will be THE heavy oil ball of choice in the Storm/Roto Lineup in my opinion...Storm has pushed ball reaction to the next level with this one...cant wait to change surfaces and play around with these things

PS Coloring is AWESOME...

Britton,
So does that mean a Video is coming soon?

I would love to see the Mutant compared against the Rogue Cell and I would also love to see the Mutant compared against the Cell Pearl!

It's probably more fair to compare it to the original Cell, but I'd love to see a video that had all 4 in it. Shooting the same line and not just bowling a strike 26 times.

I am going to have to try and get some kind of heavier shot laid down for this ball, because i have a feeling the THS at the house where i do videos will not have enough volume to handle this beast without me playing an extreme angle.  If i can get them to lay down a sport shot i will compare on the same line.  

Its tough to do that on a THS because everything funnels in the same direction...i will be comparing to either the cell solid or rogue.

Good call Britton.  I was going to post this to our Facebook fan page but the photo upload isn't working right now.  So here's a sneek peek:

Ball: Mutant CELL
Layout: 5-3/4” X 75* x 3” (Pin over middle, PSA 1/2” right of grip line, no x-hole)
Surface: Box

Description: After my experiences with the Rogue CELL and all I heard about how much this ball hooks, was a bit afraid to drill it too strong – choosing the layout you can see.  This ball reminds me very much of the original, but with an earlier read and more continuation down lane.  I patterned this after one of my original CELL’s, but this pin distance is 3/4” weaker to account for the updates in cover and core technology.  So far the cover hasn’t lane shined up nearly as much as I thought it might.  The first “real” test happens tonight on Kegel Beaten Path pattern, but nonetheless, I’m very impressed with it so far.

WHOA! I was surfing the boards looking for some info on the rogue cell and original cell and came across this post. Had no idea Roto was preparing to release a new ball in the cell line.

I just started to enter some local tourneys with my rogue and its great but doesn't quite recover in heavy volumes of oil the way I would like if I miss right by a board or two. That is operator error for sure but looking for just a bit more bite.

I'm keeping my eyes peeled on the Mutant.
