Mutant Cell Review..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Accomplishment: Ball layout with 3 inch pin 1 inch above & left of ring finger..CG below & RG just left of thumb has worked great for this lefty stroker. Layout works on house conditions with medium oil. Ball goes long with smooth back-end and cell hitting carry..Shot a 4 game tournament qual. 279-1031 and another tournament qual. 8 games of 1878 since 1st of Nov., but, as lanes dried out, had to go to… Continue

Mutant Cell Review

Simply put, the new Mutant Cell is a Cell on mega steroids. Want backend that is controlled and drives through the pins?? Mutant Cell is the way to go.

I drilled my Mutant using a 5" pin/pap, MB 3" from pap, with a 3" pin buffer. I bowled a game with it after I finished a PBA league on the scorpion 41' pattern. This Mutant was too strong out of the box for that 41'. I used a 4000 abralon pad on a spinner and, voila, perfect. I used it on a 41' house pattern and shot 704 (246-255-203)… Continue

Pre bowling

Hi my name is Derryck T. Vanish I'm from charleston south carolina. I have been bowling regliously for 10 years now. My average has gone from 140 (ten years ago) to the 224 book average that I carry to every tournament I enter in for the 2009 -2010 year. I bowl every night of the week, I have one MAJOR problem though. I work shift work. I have been doing it for the last 14 years. I am blessed to make a very good living for myself and I am able to support my passion which is bowling. Those of us… Continue

Nomad Solid

The new Mid-Range & Priced Nomads should be a big hit with all levels of bowlers this season. The Solid Reactive with the Rotary Core I found not just a Med-Heavy oil ball, but is very smooth on league house shots as well. As a 72 yr. Old LH Stroker I had the Solid drilled with the 3-1/2 inch pin just below the ring finger & the CG kicked out 1-1/2 inches. Staying behind the ball on the house shot & at 15 mph, the ball had a very smooth re-action between 15 & 7 boards. My 1st… Continue

Nomad Pearl

I believe this Nomad Pearl will out shine the great Silver Streak pearl. With the same core as old Silver, but with the updated Ultra Vision Pearl Reactive I have found nothing was lost after the break point & the carry to the pocket was super. My drilling with a 3 inch pin…has the pin 1-½ inch above & left of ring finger...CG is out another inch w/ X-hole..My lst 4 games of practice was on a modified house-sport shot w 42 feet oil. As ta 70 plus LH stroker, I went up 1st arrow &… Continue

Roto Grip Crown Spare Ball

I thought the Spare Tire got lots of looks when it 1st came out, but, the new Crown Polyester lights up the house. Even the ladies stop by to check out this pretty Crown Jewel. I leave it on the table for show & to help sales until I need to use it. The surface appears harder than the Globe & skids further down the lane. Should help me better on the 7 pins, even on the driest conditions. Larry Hoffman, Roto Grip Advisory Staff
