Roto Grip Nuclear Cell Review

Out of the box, the Nuclear Cell looks awesome. This ball has great shelf appeal. I have never drilled a cell that I didn’t like. I had the Cell Pearl, Hyper Cell, and Hyper Cell Fused; I liked them all. So naturally, I was excited about another cell. The Nuclear Cell is wrapped in the eTrax-P20 coverstock. Out of the box, you’ll notice how easy this ball floats through the front part of the lane. I think you get what’s advertised— this ball will be clean through the fronts and snap hard. I’m not talking about a boomerang like a IQ Emerald or a Hyroad pearl, but a boomerang by Asymmetrical standards. Throughout the video, I only moved 4-5 boards and kept my eyes in about the same area. The Nuclear allowed me to make my angles steeper through the front and it retained a ton of energy on the back end. Steeper angles combined with the balls natural abilities gave me about an arrows worth of room on the lane. Isn’t that was every bowler is looking for? As I’ve stated before, I bowl in high friction centers so most of the time Asymmetrical bowling balls are no good for me. But even on this dry house shot, the Nuclear Cell cleared the front with ease and had excellent pin carry. Some of the shots you’ll see did not strike because they had poor execution. Other than that I am very impressed and I am excited for other players to get their hands on this ball. I try to be as honest as possible when recommending bowling balls to people. Not every bowling ball will be good for every player. I think the Nuclear Cell will be a home run! I anticipate this ball will be the go-to on House Patterns and other easier lane conditions for a variety of players because of how easy it clears the fronts. It will also roll well on some medium to high volume patterns on high friction surfaces. Usually, Storm and Roto Grip don’t release the same type of ball around the same time. The Omega Crux releases this Friday. The Omega and the Nuclear Cell both have pearl coverstocks. However, the two couldn’t be more different. The Omega is early and smooth while the Nuclear Produces great length and has a sharp motion downlane. I compared the Nuclear to an Astro Physix and a Hyper Cell Fused. For me, the Astro was 1-2 weaker and had more forward roll off the end of the pattern. The Nuclear retained a lot more shape downlane which allowed it to strike where the Astro left a 10 pin. As compared to the Hyper Cell Fused, I felt the Fused was earlier and more forward off of the pattern. It burned up which causes the lazy 10 as well. https://youtu.be/R5i7OslXawA

Modern Day Hyper Cell Fused? I think so… I drilled this exactly like my favorite Hyper Cell Fused because when this ball was released that’s what I was hoping for. And they are very similar. For me, the Nuclear Cell is a little bit earlier but also a little bit stronger over all. The Fused was a little straighter at the end of the pattern whereas the Nuclear Cell is more angular. This ball is strong and versatile. I just used it on a 38’ medium-short pattern and then later in the same day on the same surface on a 48’ heavy oil pattern. It is a nice compliment to the Phaze III if you are looking for a 1-2 punch in the bag. The Nuclear Cell will be a great ball anytime something stronger and sooner like a UFO is too much too early but a Phaze III is too clean or if there is more oil loaded up in the front of the lane.

Lets start by saying that I LOVE the Nucleus Core. This core gives me such a great motion no matter the cover. I have had success with this core dating back to the original Cell. The latest 3 have continued to out do themselves. The Eternal was a great ball that I had many of, including one that I had 870 with. The HyperCell Fused I drilled a few different ways and was successful with each of them. Now the Nuclear Cell. I drilled this ball off of my new, updated PAP. I went with 60x5x35. This ball gets through the front effortlessly, is on the cleaner side in the middle part of the lane, really digs in down lane. I wouldn't say that the motion is angular or fast. This motion is very much Strong and continuous. The other thing that I love about the Cell's are that I don't feel like I run out of lane with them. I can chase it as far left as I want, which is different than most Asyms for me. This ball would go great in anyones bag! Go Check one out at your local Roto Grip All Star Pro Shop!

OMG, can you say HOOK! The latest addition to the Cell line, the Nuclear Cell, will not disappoint those looking for a strong asymmetrical pearl. No matter really how you drill this ball, it comes out firing on all cylinders. For a pearl this ball opens up the lane and just when you think you have lost it to the right, it helps you out by flying back to the pocket. The Nuclear Cell will be a perfect step down ball off either a solid asymmetrical or stronger symmetrical when the lanes initially transition and a strong core yet clean cover is needed. I have personally found this ball to be a perfect gap filler in my arsenal on sport patterns for many reasons. It fits in nicely between the stronger solids and weaker pearls that will be used early on in squad blocks that will give the proper shape when those stronger solids are too early and the weaker pearls are not enough to turn the corner. I have drilled mine 60 x 3.75 x 25, which is my strong drilling, and it does not disappoint. I am going to drill another one 45 x 5 x 55 to compliment it for playing more outside. This is a ball you may want more then one, its just that good!!

The Nuclear Cell is the bomb diggity. WEIGHT BLOCK: Nucleus Core WEIGHT: 15lbs RG: 2.52 DIFF: 0.056 PSA: 0.018 COVER: eTrax-P20 OUT OF BOX: 1500 Grit Polished Patterns used for review are HP modified. Pattern A: 40Ft, 24 Mls Pattern B: 43Ft, 29 Mls PLAY The Nuclear Cell was able to play both patterns from the inside and out. Pattern A allows for more movement inside and earlier. Pattern B allowed the Nuclear Cell to move outside. Pattern A: With the Nuclear Cell out of box cover at 1500 polished the lighter volume and shorter length was not much of an issue. The ball easily made it to the spot. As transition began and I migrated to the left the motion continued to be consistent and predictable with a strong finish. Pattern B: With the Nuclear Cell on this particular pattern I could get stronger with my hand and still keep the same control. I could also move a little right and tighten up my angles and roll the ball. LOW DOWN: Mid lane play to end of pattern play - The Nuclear Cell is the bomb diggity. It will get through the mids and still be able to read mid to back with more of a heavy arched compared to the IDOL Pearl. #SquadRG

The result of this combination is one of the most responsive balls ever made. I tested the Nuclear cell on a fresh house shot that had very clean back-ends. It was so strong off the friction that I had to throw the ball much more left to right compared to anything else I tried. It was probably not the best choice on the fresh because If I got slow or didn't create enough angle through the front it was too much in the back-end and I was sure to leave a nasty split. But as I moved left it just got better. This ball is so dynamic off the end of the pattern that once I was left of 3rd arrow it felt like it was impossible to miss right. The next day I came in to see how it would react on the fill shot. The back-ends are always very tight, and I knew the Nuclear Cell would be perfect for the condition where other balls had trouble finishing. I had to get the ball a little farther out on the lane when I tried to play near the friction, but had no issues getting it to come off. I moved in to where I would normally play and was happy to see the ball still picking up down-lane. When I moved inside even further it really shined, a good release and the Nuclear cell would get back from almost anywhere and it's carry is exceptional when covering boards. This ball is just down-right strong off the spot. So much so that it takes away a ton of the over-under you see with pearl equipment, because there's never really 'Under'.

We struggled with carry at the start of testing because the Nuclear Cell was so strong and was burning up early. We moved left 5 and 3 and the ball came to life. The eTrax P20 pearl coverstock is an enhanced version of the 2019 eTrax. We have the Nuclear Cell earlier than the Hyper Cell Fused and stronger off the spot. The Nuclear Cell is also a little stronger than the Halo Pearl. The Nuclear Cell is clean through the heads and carries some serious pop on the backend.

Bowler Bio Gender : Female Rev Rate : 315 Ball Speed: 16.5 mph P.A.P : 4 1/2 & 1-1/8 up The new Roto Grip Nuclear Cell is something I have been waiting and needing to add to my arsenal. The most aggressive shinny asymmetrical I have right now is the Storm Astro Physixs. I use it a lot but need something with a little more punch on the back end and that’s exactly what you will get with the Nuclear Cell. I compared the two and with the Nuclear Cell I had to move about 3/4 boards left of the Astro the way that the Nuclear Cell comes off the end of the pattern is so quick. I love how I can keep moving left and still get the same reaction off the back part of the lane without the ball labouring. I found that both balls floated through the fronts about the same,the Nuclear Cell might start up a tad sooner then the Astro but when they come off the pattern is where you will see the difference. Astro is more smooth of the pattern where the Nuclear Cell is very quick once it hits the dry. This is going to be a ball everyone can benefit from not just the high speed and rev rates.

The newest addition in the asymmetric bowling ball family from Roto Grip is the new Nuclear Cell! This Nuclear Cell features the eTrax-P20 Pearl Reactive Coverstock wrapped around the famous Nucleus Core that is seen in all the other Cell bowling balls. My Nuclear Cell that I drilled is 4 1/2 inches away from my PAP with the pin over my bridge and the mass bias next to the thumb! This ball for me is very clean through the fronts but digs in the midlane with a strong continuous motion downlane. Comparing this ball to the Halo Pearl the Nuclear Cell is as clean as the Halo Pearl the ball just has a little more continuation! This ball is easily becoming one of my favorite Asymmetric Pearl Balls of all time and you should go to your local Storm VIP Pro shop and get yours today!

Wow is all I can say! If you are looking for a ball that SNAPS this ball is for you. This ball has super clean length and makes a sideways motion at the breakpoint. The Nuclear Cell takes skid flip to another level. I am a low rev player and no matter how much I move left this ball just keeps coming on the backend. I highly recommend adding a Nuclear Cell to your bag asap.

I'm speechless right now, when roto grip announced to discontinue the hyper cell fused i was waiting on the day they would release a new cell. This Nuclear cell lives up to that hype with even more backend then the fused. If you loved your fused, then this Nuclear is a must have for any bowler in there bag!

Roto Grip’s latest rendition of the cell series of bowling balls is the Nuclear Cell. The Nuclear is a high differential asymmetrical bowling ball that uses the latest E-Trax cover, Etrax-20 Pearl, which is designed for effortless length and backend for when you need to open up the lane. Compared to the Hyper Cell Fused, the Nuke goes a few feet further down the lane before slowing down and come off the spot much harder than any cell in the line. Those looking for a true skid/flip ball motion will be very happy with the Nuclear Cell

The New Roto-Grip Nuclear Cell brings back that shape that we’ve all come to love from the Nucleus core. With the eTrax-P20 Pearl coverstock, this thing is a monster on the lanes. The Angularity and strength down-lane is unreal. I used a 4” pin to pap with a 2” pin buffer. I can honestly not say enough great things about this ball. It allows me to play any part of the Lane with ease. Even when I move right and take some hand out of the ball, it sets up and still hits like a train. This is a must have ball and is currently my favorite ball in my bag.

If you are looking for backend, you have found it with the Nuclear Cell. Super clean through the front for such a big core ball. When it sees the friction downlane it make a big backend motion. Should be really good for all league type conditions as well as middle of the block tournaments

The Cell series has been a staple in the Roto Grip line for years. With the new nuclear cell the ball floats through the fronts extremely well for having such a strong core. Downlane this ball picks up and keeps going. Great for league shots, and transition on tournament patterns.

I drilled my NUCLEAR CELL 35 x 4 x 55. This puts the pin in the ring finger and the MB on my midplane. I touched up the surface with a 1000 CTD pad then lightly hit it with a 3000 CTD over it. I drilled the NUCLEAR CELL with the same layout as a HYPER CELL FUSED that I drilled to take to 2019 USBC Nationals. The HYPER CELL FUSED ended up being a go to ball for me on longer patterns when I need control with earlier read. The NUCLEAR CELL is as close to this as I can get except with just slightly more push thru the fronts. I have also thrown the NUCLEAR CELL as a ball down option to my GRAVITY EVOLVE when I felt that more push thru the front was needed and I felt they were too cliffed for my OMEGA CRUX. I am going to drill a 2nd NUCLEAR CELL with a more pin-up in the range of 5" and the MB at about 75* to use when I feel there is more of a blend that needs push up front.

Using the proven Cell core, the Nuclear Cell does a great job and filling a spot with in the Roto Grip line.

The new Roto Grip ball in the HP4 line is the Nuclear Cell. Let's just say I'm a big fan of the Cell line from back in the day with the Cell Pearl being my favorite. So I was pretty pumped to see a Pearl coverstock with the very popular Nucleus Core. I drilled mine 5 x 5 x 2 a standard pin up above fingers and MB about an inch from thumb. My initial thoughts was this ball is special. I think the Nuclear is going to be just as good as the Phaze 3 is on the Storm side. It's that good of a ball. What I like is that when the Nuclear gets a little too deep in the pocket it still kicks the ten pin out, where other balls would not. The motion is just very predictable and this ball carries and goes through the pins really well. Its cleaner that the UFO but with more pop downlane, not flippy just hard arcing. Just put your favorite layout in the Nuclear and you won't be disappointed. Brian Watson Pro Shop Staff PAP - 5 up 1/18 Tilt - 17 Speed - 16-17 RPM - 400 Modify message

Roto Grip Nuclear Cell 65 x 5 x 70 So far, I’ve been a big fan of most every Cell ball released, especially the Hyper Cell Fused. #RotoSchlem does it again, this one is a home run! Super clean through the front, stands up in the mid lane with that big Nucleus core, and won’t quit down the lane and through the pins. To me it’s a bit longer than a fused overall but mostly back-end. I've drilled about 30 of these so far and every single person has loved the ball! This might be one of the best balls I've ever drilled! This one is so good its like CHEATING!!!!!! Pins dont stand a chance!

This Nuclear Cell is an amazing addition to my bag! This ball hooks from anywhere!

Roto Grip Nuclear Cell Coverstock: eTrax-P20™ Pearl Reactive Weight Block: Nucleus™ Core Newest HP4 ball in the RG line, the Nuclear Cell is a prefect addition. The goal was to give me something that could finish a bit stronger when my Phaze 3 was just not enough. I drilled mine to go long and and give me a strong angular move, 70x3.75x20. Very long, very strong, and powers through the pins. The Nuclear Cell will slide perfectly between my Storm Omega Cux and Storm Phaze 3

The Nucleus Core is one of the best ever from Roto. The new Pearl e-trax coverstock is effortless through the front part of the lane and very aggressive on the backend. 65 x 4.75 x 35 layout. It isn't hockey stick, but still a very defined hard move and just doesn't quit. It is stronger on the back then the Hyper Cell Fused. I feel like the deeper i get the better this ball performs. When the oil pushes down and you are forced left or if your ball won't face up anymore, pull this ball out and let it rip. Don't be surprised if some messengers come flying across the lane. I think i broke a pin. #Stormnation #SquadRG

This ball just goes through the pins and splits the 8 - 9 better than any ball l have ever thrown.

Layout: 45 x 4 3/8 x 40. The Roto Grip Nuclear Cell is an absolute house shot killer! It has the perfect combination of length, strong backend, and control. The Nuclear Cell gets through the front part of the lane extremely easily, which makes it a very good option even when the lanes are broken down, and/or you have to move left to open up the lane (as a right hander). Pin carry is excellent. This ball (with the shiny out of box finish) is not intended to be used on fresh, heavy lane conditions, but from what I have seen, it can handle any other type of condition. One of my favorite balls of the last few years!

Roto Grip hit the nail right on the head with this asymmetrical pearl. Wrapped around the all new eTrac-P20 Pearl cover, the trusted Nucleus core will always prove its might. I drilled mine 6 x 5 x 2 and after throwing it a few time I’m really glad I didn’t drill it any stronger because it would just be too much ball for me. Even being pin up and the longer pin you can see this ball start reving super early and it never quits. I used this ball multiple times before I got into the stronger symmetrical balls.

Roto Grip Nuclear Cell Layout: 80 x 2 3/4 x 50 Ball specs: 1500 grit polished - eTrax-P20 pearl / Nucleus Core With a lower RG and diff then the Wild Streak I was at awe that on SPL with the more blended and more volume pattern the ball did not quit in the heavier part of the pattern like other balls I have used with similar pearl coverstocks. Found it to be a better and stronger version of the original Cell Pearl and not as flippy as the Hyper Cell Pearl. I did drill this one with a higher front number and small pin to pap to add length before reaction and to cut down the flare due to I am still recovery from my accident 2 years ago. For sure my prior benchmark layout and ball selection has been changed since then, and when I know I will be bowling on Brunswick or newer SPL panels, the Nuclear Cell will be the first ball out of my bag.

Bowlers Info: RH tweener, PAP 4-1/2 x 7/8 up, 365 RPM, 17* of Axis tilt, 60* of Axis Rotation Ball Layout: 50 x 4-1/2 x 40 Finish: OOB + Light 3000 I have always been a big fan of the iconic Cell Core and matched up well with its numbers. The Nuclear is no exception! This ball is straight up just super fun to throw. Stand left, throw right, and watch that ball come back from nowhere and demolish the rack! I drilled this ball 50 x 4-1/2 x 40 which is pin in the bridge and PSA 1-1/2” right of my thumb. I always hit shiny OOB finishes with a light 3000 pad to give it some teeth for better midlane read and less snappy off the back. This one’s a house shot killer for sure! Cleaner than my Phaze III and a bit bigger backend, a ball I can really open the lane up with. Need a house shot killer? Looking to open the lane up? Go grab the Nuclear Cell and enjoy ripping those racks! Chris Martinez Storm Amateur Staff www.stormbowling.com

The Nuclear Cell is Roto Grip’s latest ball in the HP4 line. It features the popular Nucleus core from the previous Cell releases, and the updated pearl eTrax formula, P20. The Nuclear is maybe the quickest response ball I’ve ever thrown, it definitely rivals the Phaze 3 for strength of motion off the dry. I think the out of box finish makes it a little too sensitive, but I took it 3000 and that helped tremendously. It still has a very strong backend motion, but handles wet/dry significantly better. This is definitely the strongest shiny ball I’ve ever thrown, and when sanded, it nearly rivals the Halo Vision and UFO for hook potential. Due to the overwhelming strength of the ball, it’s not usable very often for me, but when you need effective traction and especially a stronger backend motion on heavier conditions, this is one of the first balls I’d reach for.

One of my favorite Roto Grip balls of all time was Cell Pearl (still have one). The Nuclear Cell is almost like the rebirth of the Cell Pearl. The Nuclear is very clean and does a great job of skidding through the front part of the lane. The HOF-worthy Nucleus core is fast revving which makes the Nuclear want to pick up and transition sooner than a pearl symmetric like the Idol Pearl or Hyroad Pearl, but that doesn’t mean that the Nuclear Cell is weak on the back… Actually, quite the opposite! I am in love with how much shape this ball creates without sacrificing the mid-lane read that you sometimes need to give up out of big back-ending, pearl, balls. Don’t miss out!

The NUCLEAR CELL is a pearl ball that is much more controllable motion than most other pearls. Patterns used for review are HP modified. Pattern A: 43Ft, 29 Mls, 5:1 ratio Pattern B: 40Ft, 27 Mls, 3:1 ratio PLAY The Nuclear Cell out of box is a very pleasing to the eye. It is able to get down lane easily and gives you a good controllable motion off the friction. I wanted to see how much different the Nuclear Cell was from the Idol Pearl. It was definitely a little less angular but had the same if not more hitting power and continuation. Very easy to read the Nuclear Cell has it migrates down lane. Pattern A: As play started, I gave the ball room to right playing 12 to 5. This ball revved up and read the lane. The motion because it was predictable was easier to make moves left and the roll/power and carry increased as I chased the pattern inside. After moving back out side to the friction the cell became a bit more angular down lane but still was able to get down lane easily through the friction or lower volume part of the pattern. Pattern B: The Nuclear Cell on the shorter pattern easily was bale to play a swing line in comparison to pattern a. The NC just kept recovering from all areas to the right. One thing to note was when I missed at the bottom of the swing on this pattern, I still had good motion and carry. LOW DOWN: NOTE A: The Nuclear Cell is going to be that ball one needs when they need big block and cover, but less angular motion as they bowl. You wont need much more as a polished pear than the NC.

I drilled my Nuclear Cell 4 inches from my PAP.. Firstly, I have had every Cell that has been made and I have been a big fan of them all! When I first heard about the Nuclear Cell, I was very excited for another Cell. This line has always fit my game when I need a big core-pearl. This ball honestly reminds me of a bigger Cell Pearl. It glides through the fronts, and it snaps fairly hard at the end of the pattern to give you that true pearl reaction. For being an asymmetrical I think it does get through the fronts great. This ball is easily becoming one of my go to pearl balls when I need to get left

So far i love this ball, i'm sure it will only get better time more games bowled.

Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 400 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 ½ over and ½ up Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS VLS Layout: 4 ½ x 4 x 4 1/8 The Nuclear Cell is the next great installment in the famous Cell series. The Nuke Cell is quite a bit stronger than the Hyper Cell. It’s earlier and snappy and is strong enough to use on the fresh but versatile enough to use through the transition. If you’re a “Cell” fan, you’ll love the Nuclear Cell.

Over the last ten years or so, the Cell core has been an extremely successful engine in the Roto Grip line. When the Nuclear Cell was announced, I was excited to see how it was going to perform. After drilling two of them and using them on multiple types of conditions and lane surfaces, the Nuclear Cell is a home run. With an RG of 2.52 and a differential of .056, this ball is in my bag everywhere I go. Between the two I drilled, the one I’ve had the most success with is mapped out as 4.5 x 4 x 75. This puts the pin above my ring finger and the mass bias just to the right of my thumb. I’ve noticed that once my Halo Vision or Omega Crux starts to get tired or I need a quicker response time, but still need to use a big core, the Nuclear Cell is the perfect compliment. It’s a perfect transition piece under the Omega Crux but still has a bigger, forward motion than the Hyroad or IQE Emerald. If you need a ball that’s useable on multiple patterns & lane surfaces, the Roto Grip Nuclear Cell should be the next ball in your bag. Go drill one! #OwnIt

Nuclear cell by Roto Grip is a hit. If you liked the Cell Fused but wanted a little more punch here it is. The Nuclear cell is very snappy and strong down lane and explosive through the pins. Being a pearl asymmetrical it gets through the fronts very well and creates a strong down lane angel. This ball also looks great going down the lane and easy to read its moves. Great ball to have

Roto-Grip Nuclear Cell Cover: eTrax-P20 Core: Nucleus Layout: 60 x 5.5 x 55 The Nuclear Cell is pretty impressive. It gives me serious Cell Pearl vibes from years ago. Although it is a very shiny pearl that looks like it should skid forever and go sideways, that isn’t the case. It seems to read the midlane, slow down and make a very strong (not angular) move into the pocket. I have mainly tested this ball on our 46 foot house pattern with a big puddle in the middle. Polished balls are normally a no-go on this pattern when it is fresh but the Nuclear handles it with ease. The UFO and Nuclear Cell provide a nice pair of complementing reactions in Roto-Grip’s HP4 line and should cover a lot of bases for bowlers looking for high end asymmetrical balls.

Layout: 50x4x40 Dual angle I have always matched up with the Cell line. My favorite was the Hyper Cell Skid but now with an another version of a pearl coverstock wrapped around the cell core it is quickly becoming a favorite out of my bag. With my lower rev rate the pearl cover helps me get the ball down the lane easily with a more predictable reaction down the lane since the house shots in my area have lower volume of oil. This ball fits comfortably in my arsenal between the Physix and the Phaze II. For those bowlers with lower rev rates looking for a stronger ball with a pearl cover I highly recommend the Nuclear Cell. Pete Dohan Storm Amateur Staff #StormNation

The Nuclear Cell is the latest HP4 line release from Roto Grip that features the ever popular Nucleus core. The Nuclear Cell uses a pearl cover called eTrax-P20. The color combination is purple haze, burnt orange, and red hot. The numbers in 15lb weights are 2.52 Rg, and 0.056, 0.018. My Nuclear Cell arrived at my house just days before covid-19 hit, and all bowling centers in my area were forced to close down. Now with bowling centers opening back up, I have the chance to use the Nuclear Cell. Using a 5 x 4.5 x 2.5 layout to compliment a Hyper Cell drilled with a 4 x 4 x 2.5, the Nuclear is cleaner with a more rounded continuous shape downlane. The Nuclear Cell is a 2 and 1 move left (covering fewer boards and closing down the angle through the front a bit) from the Fused. The Nuclear Cell can be sanded to create earlier traction and more board coverage, but the reaction I’ve seen will have it’s time and place, and should just be used when the lane conditions require the kind of motion that the Nuclear Cell offers. As I get more practice on the lanes, I will be taking advantage of many of the local tournaments that are popping up in my area. The Nuclear Cell will be in the bag, as that clean through the front, with a nice change of direction ball reaction is needed. Every ball that I have drilled that uses the Nucleus core, I have really liked. This core is very versatile and can match almost any cover used on it. The Nuclear Cell is no different. The match of cover and core just seems to work. The reaction out of the Nuclear reminds me of what I remember seeing from the original Pearl Cell. Thank you for taking the time to read my review of the Nuclear Cell. Now, OWN IT!!

The Nuclear Cell is a great ball with great angle. Clean through the heads with very strong backends. It allows me to play just about anywhere on the lane on the house shot. Compared to the Hyper Cell Fuzed, it’s a little longer and a little more directional change on the backend. Hitting Power is phenomenal!

If your looking for a strong shiny ball then look no further. This ball is strong and smooth all together. Very controllable while reading the lanes and moving towards the pocket. This ball is a must have in your arsenal.

I personally like being able to play around 2nd or 3rd arrow with this piece. Very controllable

The Nuclear Cell has become one of my favorite balls in my bag and makes an appearance at every tournament I bowl. While in competition, I will generally use this ball when the Axiom, Idol, or Phaze 2 are hooking too early and I need length to get past the early friction. If you loved the other balls in the Cell line, you are going to love this one too. The eTrax Pearl Cover contains a new chemical additive which gives this ball tremendous length, but also more responsiveness to friction. The Nucleus Core is one of the most versatile asymmetrical cores I have thrown. It has an RG of 2.52, differential of 0.056, and PSA differential of 0.018. I drilled mine 60 x 5 3/8 x 70, which for me is the pin directly under the bridge and the CG down by my thumb. Again, I am very happy with what this ball gives me.

Excellent ball and my son loves it. out of the box it has already increased his score by 30 pins. I actually liked it so much I got one for myself.

Can't wait to get this ball drilled. It will round out my bag and add dimensions to my bowling.

WA, United States

It is a really good value bowling ball especially since I caught it on sale. I'm not 100% matched with the out of box surface. I hit with a pretty used 2000 grit abralon pad. Just needed to modify it to fit the open spot in my arsenal. Besides that, it really is a good choice. I just had to modify the surface for my needs which is really no different than with many other great bowling balls.

I have this ball and am so happy with the way it reacts on oily & dry lanes Would recommend it to anyone that throws a hook & wants more pin action

Was very happy to find this ball in stock online site as I couldn't anywhere else with it being 1.5-2 years old. I love the cell line up from roto grip so it was a must for me. Thank you.

Just started back bowling 6 months ago after 12 years hiatus, 204 game out of the box with this ball, And 211 the 2nd time using ball. Love it! When it hits the pins it’s like they just explode
