Replacing Virtual Gravity
« on: April 21, 2019, 11:51:39 AM »
I am looking to replace my Virtual Gravity for league next year. Only Storm ball that I have bought in the last 6 or 7 years is the Match-up pearl that is great on drier/beat up conditions[been throwing mostly Hammer,900 Global]. Are any of the newer, stronger balls from Storm/Roto Grip going to be even close to the old V. Gravity.Have seen a lot of Storm stuff thrown, and they all look so strong.I am 15+mph at the pins, more up the back with 300ish revs. Not afraid to change surface on ball if needed. Thanks in advance for any input.

Not stateside, but there are tons of overseas variants being released with that core. 

As I mentioned above, the Lock imo is as close as you’ll find. I got rid of my VG too quickly, and it was a big mistake.   Fortunately, my lock gives that same motion.

Now if they ever were to make a remake of that Shape-lock HD core??? Hmmm, one can only dream  ::) 🤔
I can't believe that core hasn't returned yet.

The Virtual Tour series overseas have that core. New Virtual X coming next month i believe overseas. There is actually a Virtual Tour Exclusive ball in 15lbs available on ebay

I have a Virtual Tour Exclusive, used it last night in fact. It's the closest thing I have seen to the Virtual Energy, except of course, the VE itself. Great ball, especially since I got it for $80. Bought a second one just in case.

This overseas stuff sounds all well and good, but it’s no BENEFIT to us over here stateside.  While a handful of people can aquire a few over there, most CANNOT.

Therefore no benefit to us. Cmon Storm, get your stuff together, smh.....
