Roto Grip X-Cell Bowling Ball

Those looking for their next large asym solid, look no further than the X-Cell. Designed for heavy oil conditions the X-Cell will dig it's footprint deep into the lane to find hook on those higher volume conditions. Not as smooth as a Gem although provides plenty of mid lane read and continuation when battling freshly oiled conditions. This ball will be great for either sport or house conditions when there is ton of head oil and or tighter lane conditions.

Great ball with excellent carry. Drilled perfect as usual

As a huge fan of the cell line (original cell and cell pearl), I was excited to hear the return of one of the greatest ball series roto grip put on the map. With the returning nucleus core adding AI tech and the eTrax Ulta Solid cover stock, the Roto Grip X-Cell reminds me of the original cell, only with more versatility. I drilled mine at 45 x 4.5 x 30. Comparing it to my Harsh Reality as a high end solid, I found the X-cell to be smoother and more controllable midlane with backend motion, only less aggressive with my Harsh Reality finishing a lot stronger down lane and through the pins. Testing it against my Optimum Idol, I saw similar results with both balls reading the mid part of the lane smoothly, only the X-Cell finishing with a stronger, angular backend as it goes through the pins. This ball has reminded me of the good old days when I threw the original cell and cell pearl. I find the X-Cell to be a very versatile ball and would be best recommended for medium/heavier oil patterns, as well as a 1st ball out of the bag when it comes to bowling on a fresh league house shot. Be sure to drill one up at your local pro shop!! Thomas Coco (storm staffer)

The Cell series is Back!!!! The X-cel in one word: Versatile. Undoubtedly one of the best bowling balls to come out this year.

Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 400 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 ½ over and 1 1/8 up Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS VLS Layout: Layout 1: 4 5/8 x 4 x 2 ½ (Pin above bridge) Layout 2: 4 ¼ x 4 x 4 (pin below bridge) The X-Cell is simple. Take an OG Cell, add AI. Boom, clean continuous monster hook! The Cells always continued more than other asyms and the X-Cell takes that to the next level! They hook early and NEVER seem to quick. The X-Cell is going to take the place of all the bigger solid asyms because it is so much more dynamic on the back. I can see using this much longer in a block because it does maintain it’s axis longer. The X-Cell is a great choice for a solid aysm!

TESTING ENVIRONMENT Length:42 Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): Broken Down House Shot BALL: Roto Grip X-Cell Coverstock: : eTrax ULTRA Solid Core: : Nucleus + A.I. Finish: 2000 RG: 2.55 (14 Pounds) Differential: .048 (14 Pounds) MB/PSA: .16 (14 Pounds) ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 14-15mph Rev Rate: 210 PAP: 4 7/8 right 5/8 up Ball Layout: 5X4X2 Pin Up Using a strong ball on a broken down house shot in the middle of the summer in the Midwest may not seem like the best option, but as you learn more when you don’t win or score well is when you learn more than when everything clicks. With that being said I had my eyes wide open to this ball as I have never thrown any of the Cell balls from the past so this was new to me. As expected, yes it's a big ball and was very responsive to the friction on the lane. This allowed me to move left into parts of the lane I don't get too much due to the lower rev rate. It was not the ball for burn but as you will see in the videos I move around the lane and even give it a touch of loft. This tells me on a fresh pattern there will be length as the ball will go through all phases of ball motion. Looking forward to getting back on to the lanes with this and the upcoming release from SPI. Till then I will be getting ready for two weeks in Detroit for the USBC Junior Gold Tournament. The X-Cell is available today at Bowlers Choice Pro Shop inside Castle Lanes.

Cover: eTrax Ultra Solid Reactive Core: Nucleus + A.I. RG: 2.50 RG.

Drilled this piece with the Pin above the bridge, CG kicked out 1” from the palm, and the Mass Bias ½” Right of the Thumb. I threw this piece on a Fresh house 43’ pattern. Out of box ball motion was it started early in the mids with a strong continuous backend. I compared this piece to the Clone (4-4 Right). This piece fits between Clone and Tour Dynam-X. This piece is good for all types of styles. Check Out the Ball motion Video on my YouTube Page: https://youtu.be/TMtoR026mt8

X-Cell Ball Specs Cover Stock: Etrax Ultra Cover Solid Finish: 2000 Grit Abralon Core: Nucleus Core with AI Layout: 50 x 5 x 40 RG: 2.50 Differential: 0.056 Intermediate Diff: .019 Review Roto Grip adds a new ball to the iconic Cell line. The Roto Grip X-Cell brings back the famed Nucleus core with AI technology to unlock greater levels of performance and forgiveness. Roto Grip has also developed the new eTrax Ultra solid cover stock around the Nucleus AI Core, which gives me the versatility to play multiple lines on medium and heavy oil patterns. I drilled my X-Cell pin up, which enables the ball to roll through the fronts with a lot of energy coming off the break point and going through pins. I tested this ball on 43 feet typical house pattern. As a mid to low rev player, I see this ball being my first choice on medium to heavy oil patterns. This is a great ball for all levels of bowlers.

The X-Cell features the same nucleus core that was found in all the previous cell series balls, but is now wrapped in ETrax Ultra Solid featuring the AI outer core tech. This produces a familiar shape but now more suited for today’s oils. Anyone that loved the original Hyper Cell should drill an X-Cell ASAP!

Dual Angle Layout: 40 x 4 ¼ x 75 Storm Vector Layout: 4 ¼ x 3 ¾ x 4 The new Roto Grip X-Cell reminds me a lot of the Storm Absolute Power. It is cleaner through the front of the lanes than most Assym Solids, and still picks up nicely in the mid lane, but due to the fact it’s cleaner it still has plenty of energy through the pins. This ball will be really good for anyone who has lower rev rate or higher ball speed on your typical house shots. For anyone who loved the original Cell this ball will provide that nostalgia you’re looking for. Comparison video with the Harsh Reality: https://youtu.be/1ScTMt-1dAI?si=XteKXQsArRvFFAGR
