Expert: Russ King Date: 5/11/2008 Subject: X-Blem Bowling balls
Question Hey Russ. I hope you can help me on this problem I have. I was looking on ebay for the Roto Grip bowling ball called the Cell. I saw one for 29.95 but it was a X-blem ball. Saying either the pin was too long or the top weight was too little. So my question to you is are these balls any good. Is it worth to buy a ball like that. I am a stroker and I wanted a ball that hooks in a controlable motion. Maybe you can help me pick out one. I saw and used a friend of my cell and it was incredible. So maybe you can give me more insight. Thank you for your help.
Answer They also are OFF on positions of the weights.
THE QUESTION YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF IS, WOULD IT BE WORTH THE MONEY TO GET THIS BLEM BALL ????????????????????????????????
HOW MUCH MORE MONEY IS THE DIFFERENCE FOR A FIRST QUALITY ONE ?????????
I TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM BLEMS. I WOULD BE AFRAID OF DRILLING ONE & GETTING A WRONG IMPRESSION BY THE MISMARKS.I CAN WEIGH OUT A BALL. BUT, I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE EXACT SPECS JUST BY WEIGHING ON A SCALE.
IF YOU REALLY LIKE THE CELL WHEN YOU TRIED IT, YOUR ALREADY 1/2 WAY THERE BY KNOWING THE REACTION OF THE BALL. SO , I WOULD SPEND THE EXTRA CASH FOR A 1ST QUALITY CELL.
I WOULD ONLY GET A BLEM FOR EXPERIMENTING. AND THEN, I STILL RISK A BAD TASTE IF I GET A BAD REACTION.I LIKE TO PLUG UP AN OLD BALL & EXPERIMENT WITH A BALL I ALREADY KNOW.
30 BUCKS + 23 SHIPPING = 30 DRILLING ????
FOR THIS MONEY , I WOULD RATHER A 1ST QUALITY CELL.
$125.00 ON BOWLINGBALL.COM & THERE ARE 10 OF THEM ON EBAY PROBABLY FOR LESS.
