Nothing wrong with Cell Pearl, but Gravity Shift was better for me, especially on flatter patterns inside.

Have to agree, the Gravity Shift is a great ball, but the Cell Pearl is something special.

I think this is a style issue. Which ball fits your style? For me it is the Cell Pearl. I'd be able to use that ball in a wide range of situations.

However, avabob is correct, since that Gravity Shift was a serious skid/snap ball to me, and very useful on flat conditions.

I liked both. 

However the cell pearl was better than the gravity shift, for me.

I was a fan of the virtual energy. 

My list goes like this:

Virtual Energy
Cell pearl
Gravity shift
In the bag [Infinite Physix, Volatility Torque, Night Road, Phaze III, Burner Solid, Hustle AU]
*Now Testing* IQ Ruby, Renevant, another IQ Tour solid
Coming soon...???

I liked the gravity shift and virtual gravity.  Really didn't care much for the strong asymmetric pearls that Storm followed up with for awhile until Lucid came along.  Again, I am talking about controllability and power on flatter tournament patterns, not house shots.

So you guys like balls that are super strong at the breakpoint on flatter patterns?

Yes on longer flatter patterns, not on shorter patterns.  G Shift and VG were good because they could be rolly even with a strong change of direction at the breakpoint.  Most longer patterns force you inside sooner or later, and that is where those balls stood out for me.
