Michael Machuga and Michelle Feldman captured the Chameleon Championship at Taylor Lanes, the fourth stop on the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour.
No. 5 seed Michael Machuga of Erie, Pa. struck out in the 10th frame to narrowly defeat No. 1 seed Bill O’Neill of Southampton, Pa., 209-204, to win his second title in his eight year PBA career.
In the PBA Women’s Series, sponsored by the United States Bowling Congress (USBC), Michelle Feldman of Auburn, N.Y. handily defeated Jodi Woessner of Oregon, Ohio, 199-173 in the championship match.

“I was good through the entire week, then I threw my second ball tonight and my thumb ripped open,” Feldman said. “My goal was to not finish twice in two weeks,” added Feldman.

My Personal Review:  I really liked the way this ball rolls.  Not only does it look great going down the lane, it also has the strongest backends of any of the equipment in my bag.  I am currently a 188 avg bowler that normally starts out standing 20 playing 10 at the arrows.  With this ball I am starting out standing at least 25 playing around 15. 

Pre-order a Cell Pearl today or any day starting on September 18th through October 12th to qualify.

1 lucky winner each day will be selected to receive a phone call from PBA National Champion Wes Malott, who will personally help you with a layout choice of your new Cell Pearl.

My name is Tony Ruocco and I am the Chief Operating Officer(COO) here at bowlingball.com.  Unfortunately because of time reasons I have not submitted any blogs to our site but plan to start.

I bowl once a week with other guys from the site in Deltona, Florida on Thursday night.  I will try and post blogs on bowling topics mainly focusing on ball reviews each week.  One of my main duties when it comes to bowling is to review new products before they get released to help our company determine strategies for ordering and to help educate our customers on new products.  All of the reviews you see posted by bowlingball.com reviews on our product review section are posted by me.

Tonight will be the first night that I post a blog concerning a ball review.  I will be testing the new Roto-Grip Cell Pearl that will be released next month.  We will be doing 3 tests tonight from 3 of our staff guys and posting a video review to follow.  I have opted to use a layout that I have used on other Storm and Roto-Grip balls.  My favorite ball with this layout is the Storm Gravity Shift which rolls awesome for me on just about anything I face during league play.  This layout is pretty simple really which is why I feel it works well and also why we use it to do testing on new balls.  I place the pin 5 1/2″ from my Positive Axis Point(PAP) and place the Mass Bias 4″ from my PAP.  With this type of layout you just let the Center of Gravity(CG) fall where it falls and use a weight hole to get the static weights in range if needed.

I will follow up tomorrow with a review of what I found out tonight.  I am expecting great things from the Roto-Grip Cell Pearl based on the history of the original Roto-Grip Cell and the things I have been told by Roto-Grip.
