rogue vs virtual energy
« on: July 09, 2009, 05:08:39 AM »
could someone offer a comparison between the rogue cell and virtual energy when used on medium oil patterns.  my cell pearls hit like a truck, my vg did the same for a short period, probably will replace the vg with one of these two.  thanks...

part of my arsenal:  19 morich balls,
black hammer urethane, hot sauce pearl,
storm vg, hy road, ice storm,
2 cell pearls, and
ebonite the one pearl.

I havent drilled a VG for myself but ive thrown one, the VG is a low rev/speed ball, if you have high rev or are a power player, its not the ball for you, its very hard to control it

but i love my rogue, it reads more mid lane than the cell pearl and its smoother off the break point then the cell pearl

He didn't ask about a VG he asked about a Virtual Energy. I haven't thrown either but seen a lot of Rogues and a couple VE on the lanes. To be honest I think they are pretty similar. With the VE being polished though it is a little longer and stronger in the back. The VE still seems to be able to handle oil a decent amount even polished. I would say at the same surface you won't see much difference.

I had a rogue cell,  and have a few guys on my league throwing the virtual energy.  To me it looks like the rogue will pick up a little earlier on the lane then the energy. Due to the energy more pearl than the rogue hooking  wise I will go with the energy to me.
