Anyone polished the Virtual Gravity?
« on: March 05, 2009, 04:22:16 AM »
I have been a little disappointed with my Virtual lately OOB and decided to take it to 2000 abralon and then put some snake oil on it. I had the chance to use it last night at a tough house for me and was pleasently surprised with the results. It allowed me to play down the boards much better and it had a very nice backend move to the pocket. I really liked the way it rolled.

Has anyone else polished the VG with decent results?

Drill it with a 4x4 layout from your PAP and report back in with your new monster ball

That was exactly the best look polished i had 2k and snake oil, ball is a hooking monster but carry is suspect half the time.

2nd Dimension is whole different deal with 5 games over 265 out of maybe the last 11 total, it is everything and more that you would want.

Drilled up two of these for people...left it at 4000 and hit it with about a dime size dop of Snake Oil...

Absolute monsters on a THS....Both have quite a bit of hand but this gives them the length they need and the movement off the breakpoint and energy to really put a good hit on the pins..

Mine I left at 4000 as I love it for the longer/heavier volume patterns. I have my Break S75 for THS's and not sure there is a ball better out there for that...

I have decide on 2000 with snake oil for me. I couldn't make the ball a good oiler, so I shined it up for medium heavy with clean backends. This so far is the best reaction I have seen so far.

Use it 2 nights ago at a house which puts out a slightly heavy medium pattern that typically has very clean backends, well the other night it had mucho carrydown ontop of their oil and neither my Swarm or Rattler could make it to the pocket and when it did it was hard to get drive for optimal carry no matter how I rolled it or where I rolled it.

Pulled out the Virtual shine up, moved deep  and had tons of room, and it ignored the carrydown like it wasn't there, it was maing a extremely strong move off the break point and carry was very good, other than 2 super smash 7 pins. Might keep it a little longer and see how it goes.

JK, what is the reaction shape you are looking for, If you're looking for it be more angular downlane off friction, I have found that popping some polish on there is not bad thing. However, for me that is not the best reaction shape for me as it defeats the purpose of why I drilled the ball the way I did, and I was having problems with a predictable reaction. To get an earlier roll, more predictability and more drive, I went the opposite and sanded down to 500. And I am in heaven with the ball.
