I could have sworn Scroggins was throwing a Cell Pearl until I saw the Storm logo on the ball.  I know, in most cases, that staffers from Team Utah routinely interchange Storm/RG pills throughout the week.

Someone in the Storm forum indicated that Miller and Scroggins were probably throwing the Virtual Gravity, not the Gravity Shift.

I thought it looked like a VG with some shine.  With the subtle color changes from batch to batch, it's, sometimes, tough to tell the difference.

Miller and Scroggins were definately throwing the new Storm Virtual Gravity, it had the bright orange swirl.  They both looked fairly shiny, and it's likely it was either lane shine or it was just polished.

Scroggins is a free agent, he can throw whatever he wants.  He usually throws a mix of Storm/Rotogrip equipment.  And for the record, Storm staffers only throw Storm, and Rotogrip staffers throw only Rotogrip.  They treat them as independent companies.

Also, Storm's website confirms they were both using the Virtual Gravity.  See here:  http://www.stormbowling.com/bowling-news/story.asp?enewsid=2725&intl=True

I think even Jeff Carter has referred to the VG as the Virtual Gravity Shift.  In any event, whatever the new pill is from Storm, if that's what they were throwing on TV, it looks like this ball is the next "it" ball, kinda like the Cell was earlier this year.
