Roro Grip Cubic Cell
« on: August 21, 2009, 06:27:52 AM »
Does anyone know when this International ball will be on the U S market.  I saw one in action and it's a winner.

thanks for your time.

Per Rotogrip spec, the coverstocks between the two are prepped differenly.  The cell pearl 1500 polished and the cubic is 2k abarlon.  The internal specs are the same.

Actually, the Cubic is closer to the original Cell in terms of overall hook and how much oil it can handle since they are both solid 2000 abralon Cytoplasmic reactive covers.  The only difference between the two aside from the colors and logos is that the Cytoplasmic cover on the Cubic is "a slightly different formulation" than that on the original Cell.  I have both currently, and for me the Cubic is a couple of feet longer and about 3 or 4 boards stronger on the backend.  Both of the Cells hit above average, but the Cubic just absolutely destroys the rack!


You're right, it is close to the cell.  I misread the coverstocks.  If it goes longer it would make sense it hits harder because it should store the energy longer.  Now, the question is, which is more effective on long, flat patterns where the backends are only 20 feet in length?

Our house shot is 40ft (20ft backends) and it rules!  On longer, flatter oil I would suspect the original Cell would be a better fit.

I know mine is since it is stamped with the USBC logo under the serial number.

For whatever it''s worth, BowlingBall.com lists this ball (edited!) in 12 and 13 lbs BUT  their description is somewhat different from RG''s web site and it would explain the added length and snap in the backend:

Color: Copper Pearl / Silver Pearl / Black Solid

Admittedly it says "color", but if the ball is 2/3 pearlized resin and 1/3 solid resin, all finished to P2000 grit, the same as the original Cell, it might explain the added length and backend.

Thanks you for the correction. Sorry about that. I edited my original post. At least the info may have some bearing.
