BTM Cell Comments:

Everything about the Roto Grip Cell is new. The Cytoplasmic Reactive Solid cover is Roto Grip’s newest coverstock. It offers an ideal amount of friction in the front as well as the back end of the lane. The Nucleus core is a new design as well. This core and cover compliment each other extremely well. The overall ball motion is both strong and versatile giving it the ability to handle a wide variety of lane conditions for all styles of play. Those with above average revs rates will have the best look on oilier conditions while Stroker types will like it best on medium patterns. On our oily test pattern, both Tweener and Cranker were able to play small swing shots…experiencing a strong continuous ball reaction. Stroker’s ball reaction was almost as good as the other two with the box finish. His lack of revs required a touch more surface on this pattern to give him the same reaction as Tweener and Cranker. On the medium pattern, Stroker had the best look. He was able to start the Cell closer to the track area giving him a strong angle on the pocket with excellent carry. The other two testers were playing deeper on this pattern. The only time their carry suffered was when they didn’t trust the Cell enough. As long as they sent it to the dry, the corners fell every time. Cranker types might want to look into a 4000 Abralon finish so that they are able to stay with the Cell after this type of pattern breaks down. Even though this new Roto Grip release is very versatile, it isn’t going to work for most on dry conditions with the box finish. This type of condition will require weaker layouts with a good coat of polish. We found the Cell to work exceptionally well on our sport pattern. With the right layout and surface, the Cell has the potential to be a winner for sport like conditions.
