Virtual Gravity
« on: October 21, 2008, 02:13:08 AM »

Hi all..

Anybody in the know, who can confirm if this is an Overseas or a Worldwide release?
I know it says Overseas on www.123bowl.com but they're "only" right 99,999% of the time...
I've heard both versions now.. And just want to be sure.. They're promoting it here in Europe right now.. And we "normally" don't get the balls made for the Asian market..

Thanks

SKC

Yeah, it'll be out soon.  Already can pre-order them on some sites.  Hy-Road also.

Saw one in the pro shop where I bowl today. Good looking ball, but the smell was not one of my favorites (Orange Mint).

UPDATE: Shipping this week - should arrive early next week.

Just got my staff letter on the VIRTUAL GRAVITY and the HY-ROAD.

VIRTUAL is described as most angular ball Storm has ever made for heavy oil. Comes 4,000 Abralon. It's a solid R2X coverstock around the Shape-Lock HD weight block used in the Gravity Shift. Staff letter says tests show a 1-2 foot earlier breakpoint with a 3-4 board increase of overall coverage compared to the Dimension.

HY-ROAD is a hybrid of the T-ROAD SOLID and PEARL. Staff letter says little more angular than T-ROAD PEARL when shiny and between two balls with 2,000 Abralon surface.

Order in and when I get mine I will have reports out. You'll probably see them on Tour TV show first.

Riggs, why is there nothing on Storm's website regarding these balls yet?

If the cover on this ball is the same as the sure fire i hope the block matches up well because I was not a big fan of the sure fire.

Neither cover is what was on the SURE FIRE.
VIRTUAL is the R2X and HY-ROAD is hybrid of T-R PEARL and SOLID.
Storm typically does not put new balls on the site until they are officially released to the public.
My UPS notice says mine will arrive next Tuesday so I will aim to get them drilled before the weekend of Nov. 1-2. Always subject to work events, though.

Yeah, I'd like to know how the virtual will compare to the Attitude & Dimension.  I have them both & see differences in them.  I may not need the Virtual, at least for a while any way.  Although the ball return did take a chunk out of my Attitude, LOL.

Riggs:

I got my test ball drilled last night in time to bowl Sport League with it.  I had my Virtual 6 and 3 deeper than my Dimension on Highway to Hell.  We were dying laughing at how much recovery this ball had.  I even tried to throw it into the hang and it still rolled off of it.  Until I get some lane shine on it with the 4000 finish I doubt very seriously with my rev rate that I'll have enough applications for this ball, at least in box finish.  I thought the Dimension made an assertive move off friction, this one is a step beyond yet.  Speed and rev dominant styles will LOVE this ball.
