Sorry, i use balls for reaction shapes, not ”heavy oil”, ”medium oil”, or ”light oil” cookie cutter categories. But then again, youre suggesting using shiny, pearl balls on ”heavy oil” so i question your ability to read ball motion.

From Storm's website - "our new release will glide through the heads more easily than the original Virtual Gravity Nano yet still handle heavy oil."
I guess you know more about it than Storm???  You are wrong.  Accept it and move on.

I have had the Anarchy, Nano Pearl, and Lucid.  Nano Pearl was much stronger in the mids than Anarchy, but both tend to burn a little early unless you have a lot of balls speed.  Also my Anarchy seemed to lose its box reaction rather quickly, and I know some other top players who said the same thing.

 Lucid core gives it quite a bit different look than the other two.  Very rolly, but stronger back end. 

If you liked the Anarchy, you will be more likely to like the Lucid than the NP.

I own both balls and find that the VNP is a little bit stronger on the backend.  No marketing fluff.  Sorry.

Just as an aside, there are situations where pearl balls work best for good players on heavy long oil.  I know that squaring up and using hold area is a lost art among most younger players, but using lots of surface to try to open up a long pattern is often self defeating.  You end up in no mans land where you cant open the shot up, and you cant square up either.

I throw my Anarchy on the Shark with lots of success.  I tried throwing a Nano but didn't get as good a look as with the Anarchy.  Would get down and hold instead of overreacting to the end of the pattern.
