VIRTUAL ENERGY

Design Intent:
Since the release of the Virtual Gravity, Storm has been inundated with positive feedback & inquires of future designs. The combination of the Gravity Shift & 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 & explosive back-end characteristics of the Shape-Lock HD core, along with the performance proven R2X coverstock. The coverstock is the key element to this equation & engineering the right blend of solids & pearls to create the perfect complement 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 R2X Hybrid. The combination of the two pearls & 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 Virtual Energy is the perfect complement to Storm’s premier line of bowling balls.

NATURAL

Being the leaders in high performance equipment, Storm is always looking for ways to make our line more complete. With the growing popularity of sport bowling & more challenging lane conditions, we saw a need to offer bowlers a ball to compete in those environments.

Many of these patterns are shorter with less volume. Today’s modern reactive urethane bowling balls create a tremendous amount of friction with the lane surface, & many of these balls do not perform well on shorter, more challenging patterns.

Our intent was to design a “PURE” urethane coverstock with less surface friction for those challenging patterns along with a core combination that would complement.

We developed the U2S coverstock, a second generation of U2000. It enables one to get length without the over-reaction that resin sometimes creates. Even though it’s made of a pure urethane material it’s dynamic enough to handle today’s lane conditioners.

The Turbine core creates ample flare to ensure fresh coverstock is always touching the lane. This translates into additional friction to create ample entry angle, without generating an over/under reaction down lane.

The Natural integrates classic reaction with today’s modern technology to deliver unbeatable performance.
