Since the release of the Virtual Gravity, Storm has been inundated with positive feedback and inquires of future designs. The combination of the Gravity Shift and Virtual Gravity gave bowlers a look that they had never seen before on heavier oil; mid-lane control with explosive back-end reactions. One of the greatest features is their adaptability on changing back-end motion depending on the layout chosen.
Our intent with the Virtual Energy is to utilize the early revving motion and explosive back-end characteristics of the Shape-Lockâ„¢ HD core, along with the performance proven R2Xâ„¢ coverstock. The coverstock is the key element to this equation and engineering the right blend of solids and pearls to create the perfect compliment to its predecessors.
Overview:
The testing phase brought several factors into play. We tested several coverstock combinations with the profilometer, as well as, on-lane C.A.T.S. testing. Our goal was to develop a ball that utilizes the best characteristics of its predecessors as well as creating its own unique performance.
Our final product is the R2Xâ„¢ Hybrid. The combination of the two pearls and a solid reactive delivers the perfect fit within our product line. The solid generates just enough mid-lane read on the heavier volume patterns, while the two pearlized parts deliver the strong motion on the back-end.
The Virtualâ„¢ Energy is the perfect complement to Storm's Premier line of bowling balls.

X-Comps generally have a cosmetic blemish that in no way effects the reaction of the ball making it nearly as good as a 1st quality bowling ball. The Pin to CG Distance will be 2-4†and the Top Weight will be within 2-4 ounces. An X-Comp will have a C stamped by the serial number. The label on the box is stamped X-Comp and is marked with a small red number that denotes the specific issue.
