The newest Signature line ball brings us to a blast from the past. The Virtual Energy was a iconic ball from Storm and the new Virtual Gravity Blackout brings back to us the Shape Lock HD core. The Blackout has the recently popular REX pearl cover. I drilled mine 5.5 x 5 x 5 and WOW does this ball backend. I feel like the black color and Rex really blend well together going back with the Dark Code. The Blackout reminds me of a stronger version of the Dark Code but is a touch more mid lane than the Dark Code was. It almost reminds me of an blend of an Infinite Physix and Dark Code. I was really able to open up the lane with the Blackout and create a lot of down lane motion with it. I can defiantly see this ball being used on some beat up longer patterns and for anyone who wants to an asymmetrical ball with a lot of backend on house shot conditions.
