After all the great things I have heard and seen form the Virtual Gravity, I decided to get one. After being a Hammer and Ebonite guy I am trying out some new stuff. My proshop is ordering one for me and I cant wait to throw it.
-
Congrats & welcome to Storm!! LOL. You'll love it.

Yeah if your looking for something super strong this is the ball. Ive thrown alot of balls in my day, but this is by far the most hooking ball ive ever thrown, but what really makes it different is the way it continues through the pins. Drilled it up Tuesday, 300 780 first set, and 739 Wednesday. Just freewheel it right and watch it fly!

Who said Id only look for ya here. Also on topic how much stronger is this then a similarly drilled gravity shift?
-
Where else do people FIGJAM about their scores?

I got to bowl against riggs in the triple elimination tourney in Moline and got to see him smack me around on a fresh 07 masters shot 269-206 with his Virtual Gravity and all I got to say is WOW!
--------------------
-
Wow thats awesome Riggs! Great shootin. I wanna drill one now!
-
i have a gravity that is drilled 3 3/8 * 4 oob and my virtual is drilled pin and cg staked leverage under ring finger with mb 2 inches right of thumb oob and the virtual is at least 10 boards stronger seems the more left u move the stronger it gets.for this ball to be as strong at 4000 and hook as much in oil dont see anything that wont come close to this ball, of course til they come out with something stronger.

Well I guess I probably wont be getting a virtual then as the only time I havent been able to use my gravity as my strongest and really swing it was on the shark or a flood and even then Im still left of most others.

I just punched up a Virtual Saturday and its one of the most continuous reaction balls I have ever had. I used it 6 games in travel league yesterday on a pretty tough condition in a house I hate and shot 603 and 605. Nothing spectacular but I was happy with the reaction. The lanes where heavily oiled 10 to 10 and with the Virtual I could play just about anywhere I wanted to and get to the pocket..
I look forward to using it tonight and tomorrow in the normal house I bowl in..

I don't throw many storm balls these days, but that ball looks wicked.
-
Yes Kingofkings the virtual will walk circles around the gravity and warning 2 all dont drill 2 strong becuz u wont be able 2 keep it on right side of lane and it will tell u when its x 2 put it away but overall best ball ever thrown, this ball revs up so quick and doesnt stop til it knocks down everything in its path, if u love yo gravity u will put away after u throw the virtual lol

My friend I truely doubt it as my gravity shift can be rolled from the first ball to the last ball of 20 games in a night(start to struggle halfway through but can do. Also I tend to prefer pearls for some reason(may be my slow speed with decent hand where a solid tends to roll too early) I tend to prefer a ball that gets down and turns hard, I do however like the cell which was used to get pitches fitted and it was on its 5th or 6th drill and wasnt drilled strong at all and worked wonders for me. Lastly I love urethane and can really get them to turn over. For example my nail I have OOB with the polish knocked off and can start left of 20 and wheel it out and get a nice consistant finish and the sad part is I can use it in place of my xxxl for spares and am actually more accurate(seems to not turn over as hard without me doing it). For me the virtual especially as strong as everyone says it is it would probably become a VERY condition specific ball for me. For use on patterns like the shark and floods.

I used the Virtual in league tonight at my favorite house and shot 290/714. So far I like the ball a lot. It is very continuous through the pins and the carry is pretty good as well.. I have left some 9 counts but I am still getting used to the ball.. So far so good..
