Roto Grip Nuclear Cell Bowling Ball

(39 reviews) Write a Review
CORE... Inside you will find the forever famous Nucleus™ Core. By far the most versatile asymmetrical core design ever created. No matter how it is drilled, or how you toss it down the lane, this core always gets into motion and stays in motion. COVER... The R&D Team has been at hard at work mixing and formulating coverstock materials. Our newest version of eTrax™ Pearl contains a new chemical additive as well as ratio changes in order to produce better traction in the midlane and create more responsiveness to friction down lane. CONDITION... There is no doubt the Nuclear Cell will quickly become a fan favorite and claim its place in everyone's arsenal. If you want long and strong, leave it out of box. If you want it a little sooner and smoother, scuff the cover a little. Hands down, this will be one of the most versatile balls in your arsenal.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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. 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. #Stormnation #SquadRG

    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 most have ball and is currently my favorite ball in my bag.

    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!

    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!

    The New Nuclear Cell is absolutely incredible! With this being my first "Cell" ball, I was super impressed by its reaction. This ball is not only clean through the fronts but reads the midlane very well and angles very hard in the backend. If you are bowling on a heavier volume house shot or sport pattern, this is a great ball to have if you are looking for a lot of down lane angle and motion. Anytime, I bowl on heavier volumes of oil, this ball will be in my bag.

    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 Nuclear Cell for me compares similar to the Hyper Cell Fused with a couple small differences. The Nuclear goes a bit longer and cleaner with the same back end reaction as the Fused. This being a pearl assym, it would seem like a cross between the Hyper Cell Fused and a Halo Pearl. I'd venture to say that this ball would be best on fresh house shot playing more of the track area or on a drier transitioned condition where there is more friction. It definitely would have its place in your tourney bag in between a Halo Vision and a Halo Pearl. ( Hyper Cell Fused> Halo Vision > Nuclear Cell > Halo Pearl )

    The newest Cell cored bowling ball is the Nuclear Cell. With the same Nucleus core that has been in every Cell ball so far. With a RG of 2.52, diff .056, and an Intermediate diff of .018. The nucleus core is wrapped in the new eTrax-P20 which handles heavier oil while also creating more down lane motion than the eTrax-P18 cover on the halo pearl. The Nuclear cell is much more angular than its predecessor the Hyper Cell Fused. Not just because of it being a pearl cover stock whereas the Fused was a Hybrid but also the new formulation of the cover stock makes it cleaner through the fronts and more angular off the spot. As I do with most polished bowling balls, I took the shine off of it after throwing it a few times. 3000 Grit Abralon seems to work the best for me while it still allows it to be clean through the front it is smoother off the spot without the polish. For me this ball is a house shot killer, most house bowlers will benefit from the easy length and backend that this ball offers. It is another ball for the medium sport shot patters or later in the block when the ufo starts to become to much ball but the wild streak is not in play yet. Stephen Foley.

    Roto Grip Nuclear Cell Layout: 4 x 4 x 2 - Storm Vector layout Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation Testing information: 40 foot THS (medium to light volume) Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane The Roto Grip Nuclear Cell utilizes the tried and tested Nucleus Core and the new eTrax P20 pearl coverstock. 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.

    Core: Nucleus Cover: eTrax-P20 Pearl Finish: 1500 Polish RG: 2.52 Differential: 0.056 Me: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 12-13 mph Rev Rate: 315 PAP: 4 7/8 Right 3/8 Up Ball Layout: Pin Under Bridge 40 X 4 3/4 X 65 The new Nuclear Cell From Roto Grip features the powerful Nucleus core wrapped in eTrax-P20 Pearl Reactive cover. 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'.
