Hey everyone,

My last Mutant Cell was junk, and I believe it was because I had too strong a layout and not enough oil on the lanes, causing the ball to burn up all its energy before reaching the pins. I wanted the ball to do what it was advertised to do: A slightly longer Cell with better back-end continuation.

I used a dual-angle layout: 45* x 4 1/4" x 20

What I ended up with was a ball that would start to hook in the mid-lane, and then quickly burn up and roll-out in the last twenty feet. The only way I could get it snap harder in the backend was to put a ton of side-roll on the ball.

I am a lefty with a rev-rate of around 300, and I throw between 16-17 mph. Can anyone give me feedback on a different layout? I'm no expert and it would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Schmidty

Longer pin (5-5.5"), and open up both the drilling angle and VAL angles. If that doesn't work, polish it.

Should I keep the drill angle larger than the VAL angle?

For instance: 65* x 5" x 35*
Or should I try something like: 50* x 5" x 65*?

Opening the drilling angle more than the VAL angle (which gets the MB out of the strongest position) would be a good idea, yes.
