Does anyone know when this International ball will be on the U S market. I saw one in action and it's a winner.

Bowlingball.com had some, but I think all they have left now is 12 and 13 lbs.

His average is in the 160's and he has been bowling for about 3 years now and he just been in love with bowling since day one.
Yesterday he won a tournament for his age division and I told him before that if he won, I would get him a new ball. Well I had to keep my word so went went to the shop and he actually wanted a Virtual Energy, but they didn't have any 13's. So he took his time and read all the description cards, and was stuck between the Cubic Cell and the Plasma Cell. The Cubic won because of the colors, lol.
Had it drilled up and he was so excited, so I took him to the lanes to try it out. Well all I can say is that he made a great choice. We bowled 4 games and he bowled over 200 on every game!!!! On top of that, the ball looks so cool looking going down the lane. We even had one guy who was bowling a couple pairs down come over and ask what my son was throwing. Now with christmas and his 13th birthday, I know he's gonna be asking me for more 13 #ers.

can anyone give me any info about this ball...i haven't bowled in approx. 4 years,will i be able to handle this ball

I just drilled mine up last week and used it in two leagues so far. Let me go on record as saying that this thing is a BEAST! Man does it wheel and hit! Much stronger than any of the three U.S. released Cells. I wish I had bought another one...

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.

Are international balls legal in USBC competition?
I know mine is since it is stamped with the USBC logo under the serial number.

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.
