Roto Grip X-Cell Bowling Ball

The X-Cell is the first of the Cell balls that I've been able to throw, and what a unique shape! the medium RG strong asymmetric core allows the ball to float through the front part of the lane more easily than our other SPI solid asyms, without becoming too flippy. The X-Cell features A.I. core tech, which usually translates to balls being earlier and smoother for me. This is how i read the X-Cell; smooth, controllable, heavy rolling, and continuous. This ball provides a unique addition to our product line. If you like solid asyms and want one that is slightly cleaner, the X-Cell is that ball! -Chase Valenzuela

Sam Cooper. Roto Grip Amateur Staff. The Legendary Cell line returns in the form of the X Cell! We have the same Nucleus Core found in the original wrapped in A.I. Core technology. Along with a new cover in E-Trax Ultra Solid. I was more than excited when I heard that we were bringing this ball back out. This was one of the most versatile balls I can remember. If you had any of the Cell bowling balls you are going to want to get your hands on the X Cell! Wes Malott dominated the PBA tour with this ball would love to see him get another title with this ball in his hands. It is very nice to have this motion back in the bag. I have tested the X Cell on short and long patterns already and it just performs how I remember it. The cover feels on the cleaner side in the fronts but really starts to gain traction in the middle lane. The reaction shape I would say is smooth yet powerful and does not quit on you going through the pins. I thought this ball back when the Cell was out hit great this one hits even better. I would say that the X Cell is a step down in strength from a Gem or Harsh Reality. But it is stronger than an Optimum Idol or Summit. The versatility of this ball is great for a wide range of conditions that you will see from house shots and tournament patterns. Not to mention that this ball will be great for a wide variety of bowlers as well. If you had one when the Original Cell was out you are going to want to get the new X Cell!

Roto Grip X-Cell Coverstock: eTrax Ultra Solid Finish: 2000 Grit Abralon Core: Nucleus + A.I. (14 pd) RG: 2.55 Differential: 0.048 Int Diff: 0.016 Layout: 5 x 5 x 3 - 2LS Layout Extras: 2 1/8 Finger Depth, "X" - 4 1/2 D and 1 Inch Left Tester: PAP 6 1/2 R, 1 1/4 D Review: The X-Cell features the newer Amplfied Inertia (A.I.) core technology. This core as you would expect will help the X-Cell in providing a predictable shape at the end of the pattern. As A.I. core technology has been previously tested that means a few extra percentage points of carry can be anticipated. For my review I compared my X-Cell to the sneaky good RST X-1. The X-Cell provides a good amount of traction in the front part of the lane at the 2000 OOB finish. I did surface my X-Cell up to 3K on a spinner for a PBA Shark pattern to see if this ball would fit well after some breakdown from the Magic Gem. To my surprise both the X-Cell and RST X-1 fit nicely. Both gave me a good amount of miss room. The X-Cell did allow me to stay a tad straighter than the RST X-1. Both were really good and to be honest it was splitting hairs for me. Both a big thumbs up! I recommend the X-Cell for medium to longer patterns. The OOB finish should work well for most conditions you encounter. I will definitely use the X-Cell as a step down from the Magic Gem. The X-Cell will play straighter overall but allow you to stay on line in a much more forgiving way as the lanes transition. I'm definitely excited about this ball from Roto Grip.

The X-Cell proves that something that has been proven in the past can be used with current technology and make something super now. I am really looking forward to using this ball outside of league play on some harder patterns. The X-Cell will have a starting roll for my league house along side my Optimum Idol. This ball might be the strongest ball I have thrown in a while. I have even let a couple people throw it and the ball was so much more aggressive than they thought. This ball will definitely benefit everyone for a range of different reasons and it really does give forgiveness in many aspects.

Roto Grip X-Cell Coverstock: e-Trax ULTRA Solid Reactive Core: Nucleus + A.I. Core Finish: 2000 Abralon – also for 50ft. pattern I finished it with 4000 Abralon Layout: 5 x 6 x 4 Hear me out... The Cell line has been RE-BORN with the all-new X-Cell for 2024 and beyond. With the addition of the A.I. technology onto the Nucleus core that brought the new Roto Grip back to the top of performance bowling ball, the new Cell is still simply TRUSTWORTHY, CONSISTENCE, and packs a ton of VERSATILITY built-in to it. I tested and used it on 2 different patterns. A 44ft house pattern and a 50ft USBC sport pattern at ABC North Lanes and Lounge and what I found was that the X-Cell works on a variety of patterns with just a minor surface change from 2000Ab on the house pattern to 4000Ab on the 50ft USBC pattern. I was able to ball up from my Attention Star and Lighting Blackout on the house pattern to open-up my angles and use the heavy oil in the front of the pattern and allow the X-Cell travel to outside of the target markers to get around any traffic I see on my side of the lane, was able to stay in the X-Cell a lot longer than when I use my Attention Star and Lighting Backout when starting in league. On 50ft pattern, I started with My Magic Gem, Harsh Reality, and squared way UP with my X-Ray, and then I switched over the X-Cell and it was better down lane and an overall better and more consistent reaction over the course of the 90 minutes (about 1 and a half hours) I practiced on the pattern. I was quite worn-out afterwards but was pleased with the outcome of the practice session. The X-Cell will be placing the Magic Gem and Harsh Reality in my arsenal because it covers the best of those 2 balls. My summer bags consist of: Roto Grip X-Ray, Storm Tropical Surge solid, Lighting Blackout, Icon Pro, Attention Star and the X-Cell.

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!
