Coming soon from Roto-Grip the "Mutant Cell"

The primary deciding factor is still coverstock Many times a manufacturer will tweak the core for a reaction shape. I think you will find the VG to be longer and flippier where the Mutant will be earlier, smoother and handle a higher volume of oiilKeep in mind that the ability to handle oil has nothing to do with a ball going sideways on yhe back end. Reading the oil sooner and making a controlled and predictable move to the pocket is far more important on heavier volumes

now you are talking about the solid virtual gravity and not the hybrid virtual energy correct???

[Stormed1]

yes the virtual gravity

Couldn't agree more. I've had times where a ball is just too strong off the breakpoint and over/under because the ball is not strong enough in the oil.

Here is a american video of the mutant cell

They compare the Rogue Cell and the Mutant cell.. He is playing 20-5 with the Mutant cell and 15-5ish with the Rogue Cell.

Thanks Robert, a decent video to go by as far as what the ball can do.

this is how ugly the Mutant Cell looks like.. check out jeff carter's arsenal line of Roto Grip

ok now that we have videos, and even videos of the same people throwing both the Virtual Gravity and Mutant Cell I would like to bring up again the reaction difference. I still think the VG is more aggressive.. The videos that I am comparing are below.. Yes, the layouts are not the same but you can get a idea of the balls reaction.. you know since they are trying to sell the ball they are going to want to try to get as much hook as possible.. Also looking at the "Perfect Scale" on bowlingball.com it has the VG as the slight advantage 217.5 to 219.5. That is a standard hook potential they use for all of the balls on there..

When you look at the links below click the video tab to see the vids.. Check out the angle difference and how much further left they are playing with the VG..

dont get me wrong, I'll have a Mutant Cell since I am prety much getting it free.. I want something that will hook like the VG but slightly sooner and i dont like playing with layouts too much.

i actually just noticed that they are releasing the Mutant Cell almost a year to the day after the Virtual Gravity

It's actually not as ugly as I thought it would be. A decent looking ball actually.
