Virtual Gravity here...*UPDATED* Video Sneak Peek inside!
« on: October 30, 2008, 01:52:00 AM »

This beauty is drilled up 4.5 x 4.5MB x 2.5 Pin Buffer...and it hooks a TON!

I threw this ball last night, and let me tell you the angles this thing was making it back from AND carrying was UNREAL...this is the strongest non particle ball i have ever thrown...the drive and continuation through the deck is nothing less than what we have come to expect from these latest high end releases from storm/roto...i have 3 dimensions drilled for myself with different surfaces and layouts that cover wide array of conditions (i match up very well with that core/cover combo)...i can easily see myself drilling a few virtuals to get a stronger, more angular look when the dimensions are just too smooth

Compared directly to a freshly drilled dimension with a similar layout (both OOB), this ball is a few boards more overall, is more angular and recovers much better from extreme angles, they actually complement each other nicely...i am going to drill another virtual weaker before i do any videos and i will compare the two in the video.  Storm and Roto Grip are really on top of their game right now...dont miss out on this one folks!

just another update for the second virtual gravity i drilled...

Virtual #2

http://s536.photobucket.com/albums/ff328/videoballreviews/Virtual%20Gravity/?action=view¤t=105_0336.jpg

I went with a 5.5 x 3MB x 3" Pin Buffer...This one is even sweeter than the first!

With this layout i was able to play a more "normal" part of the lane on the THS for my game...this thing is so strong and so angular through the deck its incredible, again this one seemed to come back from anywhere...i have never been able to drill a ball this "weak" and still have it react like it did tonight.

i shot 201 the first game tonight playing around with it trying to find the best angle, then once i got dialed in i rattled off the front 9 in game 2 only to get the 10th one real wide and leave a 10...i then proceed to miss the 10 for 267 and shoot 279 the last game with only a 10 pin in the 7th frame keeping from 300...shot 747 on the night with 3 (dumb) opens

This ball is absolute money...i cant praise it enough!

Good Lord does that recover, its either rediculasly special or the angle that the vid is shot from makes it look like it goes longer than it really does, thats just rediculas.
