I have both a Virtual Gravity and Virtual Energy, I have low revs (I think) and am a speed dominant player mostly (can slow down to 15mph but naturally tend to throw from 17-18Mph).
I find that the Virtual Energy never really seems to work well for me, surprisingly I can get the Virtual Gravity to work real well in both heavy and light oil. I can play the Virtual Gravity on the far left or far right and score much higher than any other ball I have. The Virtual Energy seems to never find the pocket, on dry super over hooks, medium tends to slightly overhook or underhook (seems very touchy), and heavy starts to just go straight and no longer have hardly any hook. These balls have the same core, is there a different surface I could use with the drilling of my Virtual Energy that would make it work better for me in the medium oil. It is my oldest ball, and bowled a lot with it, but have always had problems getting it to work nice. Have done oil extracting with a bucket, and dishwasher, it does hook still but as stated it seems either unpredictable in either direction depending on conditions. I''m wondering too if with my style of liking the outside and low revs, playing straighter, is a Virtual Gravity just a better fit for me on even dryer conditions (thinking maybe Pearls aren''t my thing with how I throw, especially polished).
My Virtual Gravity is drilled with the pin above the ring finger, and Virtual Energy is drilled with the pin at about 1 oclock to upper right of my ring finger. Also I track pretty close left of my finger and thumb holes, to around back on the other side of the storm serial number.
