The X-Cell Tour features Hyper Response Pearl Coverstock and New Clear Score.This combination provides strong coverage and rolling feel.The finish is No. 1500 grid polish, which provides good front glide and responds well in oily conditions.The ball’s RG is 2.500, and the delta RG is 0.056, for a large swing range.
Impression at the time of pitching
When pitching, the ball gives the impression of rolling forward firmly from the front, making it very pleasant to throw.The ball has a good run due to the pearl cover, and its movement in the back is gradual, so it does not show a sharp break, but you can feel a stable hook. the pin action due to the AI core is also very good, and the ball has strong repulsion when it hits the pin, making it easy to get a strike.The ball has a strong rolling feel after it leaves the hand, giving the impression that it rolls with more than the thrower’s strength.
Difference from Comparison Ball
Comparison with X-CELL
Compared to the previous X-Cell Solid, the X-Cell Tour has a pearl cover that makes the front run smoother and easier to use in areas with less oil.While the previous solid showed excellent performance especially in conditions with a lot of oil, the X-Cell Tour can be used in lanes where the oil has been chipped away.In addition, the new clear score is the same, but the pearl finish makes it easier to drive and more adaptable to a wider range of conditions.

Summary
The X-Cell Tour is a well-balanced ball with a pearl cover and a new clear score that provides consistent movement from front to back.It is especially good on oily or sharpened lanes, providing a rolling feel and pin action that exceeds the thrower’s power.This is a very user-friendly ball for those who have the previous X-Cell and want even better runnability, as well as for those who are trying out the Cell series for the first time.In particular, its smooth movement in the front and sustained hook in the back make it a reliable choice for matches and everyday center conditions.
