Good Overall Ball By The Big N from CO
Reviewed on: 8/17/2009 Unverified Pros:Great Weight, Attractive Design Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley, Upgrade Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Good ball, not as aggresive as I thought it would be after doing research. Took it to nationals and did not get much movement out of it and had to change balls. I have been able to bowl some very good games (260+) during league with this ball. Just not that great with medium to heavy oil. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Amazing By T molo from Plantation, FL
Reviewed on: 8/17/2009 Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip, Attractive Design, Gets down lane easily, Flawless Surface, Great Weight Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend After bowling 2 games with the Cell Pearl, I dulled the track lightly because the ball just went a little long for me. After that, it has become one of my favorite balls. After my gamebreaker and/or gravity shift start to get too much, I jump to the cell pearl. I can play anywhere with this ball and have never seen a ball drive harder. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Tremendous Strike Power!! By Smokin Sam from Brentwood, TN
Reviewed on: 11/23/2009 Unverified Pros:Comfortable Grip, Attractive Design, Flawless Surface, Great Weight Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments, Upgrade Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I have NO complaints about this ball. After not bowling for 30 years I found my old AMF 3 Dot didn't have the knock down power I needed for the new pins and lane conditions and my Average was 50 Pins lower. The "Roto Grip Cell Pearl" gave me what I needed and my Average bounced right back up to 200. It's perfect for me and I tell everyone that will listen about it. Was this review helpful to you?

Not what I expected!!!! By Aspiring Pro from Bowling Green, KY
Reviewed on: 3/4/2010 Unverified Pros:Great Weight, Flawless Surface, Attractive Design Cons:Not good for league play Best Uses:Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I bought this ball based off reviews and the suggestion from Pro shop pro. I currently have a 218 average in league play and was leaving a lot of 7 and 10 pins. This ball took care of that issue it hits harder than any ball I've used. The only issue is it's made for a heavier oil pattern so you better be able to adjust. Your local pattern may be too light for this ball. I bowled in a tournment that used the Kegal oil pattern route 66 which is a great pattern for this ball. I rolled a 3 game series of 746. Was this review helpful to you?

No more. This ball is the best I've owned. I'm sixty-one with a bad back and had to go to a 14# ball. I thought 'no carry'. Boy was I wrong. This ball is a stick of dynomite.
