Gravity Shift - Particle Load?
« on: November 19, 2009, 04:04:43 PM »
Now, before you jump down my throat I know the ball comes with the R2X coverstock, pearlized, and shiney.  But, if you compare this ball to the hybrid Virtual Energy, the hybrid cover is much more angular.  

And a few days ago, someone was discussing how balls can have light particle loads but nobody mentions it because the word particle has a bad rap.  

So, I kinda put 2 and 2 together in my head, and am now curious if the Gravity Shift has a light particle load in it to smooth the ball's reaction out.  

Has anybody heard of this?  What could be other reasons a hybrid cover is more angular than a pearlized cover (all other variables are equal of course)?

Well the Virtual Energy technically would have a particle load cause part of the cover is from
 the Virtual Gravity which has a small particle load.
I don't think the gravity shift has any particle load in it. But I don't have any info to prove it...

I would like to see the Virtual Core in the second dimension cover though!

That is interesting that the VG and VEhas a particle load in it.  I never knew that.  Thanks for that information, lol.  

The Shape Lock core in a Second Dimension core would be a fun ball.  I would like to see that too.

Perhaps you mean Second Dimension cover?

Methinks it's already been done overseas - http://archive.teamhisp.com/products/2009/ball/virtual_energy_pro-t.pdf

n00dlejester,
You asked "Why do the Japanese always get the cool releases, AND cool color schemes?" Look at the price, 48,300 yen (1 U.S. dollar = 88.92  yen). That's about $543 U.S.! I'll take our boring and bland every time thank you.

That is frightening.  Perhaps because the balls are made in the US, we get them (a buttlaod) cheaper?  

I also remember when 1 USD = 110 Yen

Here is the video for the VE Pro Tour.  I also wish we could get order some of these overseas balls.  It would be nice if Storm allowed us to order directly from them since they probably wouldnt have enough sales to go through US distributers, but only because the general public will never know anything about them.

Anyway, the video is on this page.
