I would say the modern day version is the Virtual Energy.  But since the Domination has a much weaker coverstock, the Reign is also an option.

The domination was a super-skid/flip type of ball. The VE can be slightly skid/flip but its strong cover and stronger core make that an iffy proposition. It can be very arc-y, if not drilled properly or used on too little oil.

I''d be inclined towards saying the new Reign is closer to the Domination in pure ball reaction. While the Domination has a stronger core, the Reign uses a stronger coverstock. I think the two balance out on today''s oil: very skid/flip ball on medium oil.
