See here for actual pictures...

This ball is BEAUTIFUL...and smells great (Pear Berry mmmm...).  You can see the layouts i plan to go with for these.  Most likely will throw them for the first time on thursday...will be sure to post my inital impressions on these after that.

I also received my Natural and will be comparing that to the new fast and/or furious in a video.

Good thing i didnt take a wider shot then, your OCD may have made you drive to PA and clean it yourself LOL

My shop is a mess right now...but thats the benefit of having it in my house.  The only people that see it are me and the wife, and she has given up

Thanks for the suggestions for videos guys, i will keep them in mind while i decide what i will compare these to.

Hey Britton,

Will you be doing a comparo  of the VE to the Gravity and VG in your video? Would be pretty cool to see where this ball sits inbetween the two.

i will definitely be comparing to a VG...most likely i wont be comparing to a gravity shift.  I dont have one drilled up currently.  I never got along with the gravity at the house i bowl at, and never had a chance to drill up another and play around with it.

So instead of the gravity, i may compare it to a hy-road as that is more current and also so you can see hybrid vs hybrid.  Not sure yet.

On a scale of Virtual Gravity to Gravity Shift, where will this new piece fit?

Right in between them.  It is 2 parts Gravity Shift, 1 part Virtual.

From Storms website:

Design Intent: Virtualâ„¢ Energy

Since the release of the Virtual Gravity, Storm has been inundated with positive feedback and inquires of future designs. The combination of the Gravity Shift and Virtual Gravity gave bowlers a look that they had never seen before on heavier oil mid-lane control with explosive back-end reactions. One of the greatest features is their adaptability on changing back-end motion depending on the layout chosen.

Our intent with the Virtual Energy is to utilize the early revving motion and explosive back-end characteristics of the Shape-Lockâ„¢ HD core, along with the performance proven R2Xâ„¢ coverstock.  The coverstock is the key element to this equation and engineering the right blend of solids and pearls to create the perfect compliment to its predecessors.

Overview:

The testing phase brought several factors into play.  We tested several coverstock combinations with the profilometer, as well as, on-lane C.A.T.S. testing.  Our goal was to develop a ball that utilizes the best characteristics of its predecessors as well as creating its own unique performance.

Our final product is the R2Xâ„¢ Hybrid.  The combination of the two pearls and a solid reactive delivers the perfect fit within our product line.  The solid generates just enough mid-lane read on the heavier volume patterns, while the two pearlized parts deliver the strong motion on the back-end.  

The Virtualâ„¢ Energy is the perfect complement to Storm’s Premier line of bowling balls.
