The new Virtual Gravity is the latest endeavor using the well received R2X coverstock and the high performance Shape Lock HD (High Density) Core. Through extensive testing, Storm's research and development has perfectly matched the surface of the now legendary R2X coverstock to the Shape Lock HD (High Density) to create the Virtual Gravity, the finest Premier performance ball ever produced by Storm. The Virtual Gravity features the high differential Shape Lock HD core that provides consistent track flare exposing fresh R2X coverstock to the lane for outstanding reaction on the heaviest lane conditions. The low RG and High Differential asymmetrical core creates a tighter spin radius ensuring a quicker revving motion along with continuous roll down the lane. An intermediate differential on .020 allows you the ultimate in breakpoint tune-ability and shot shape. The R2X Solid Reactive coverstock creates the highest surface roughness ever produced by Storm Products. Our tests indicate a 10% increase in surface friction and a 5% increase in entry angle down the lane than our previous coverstocks. This translates into the highest friction to lane numbers we have ever seen. Along with increased surface roughness, the R2X Solid Reactive coverstock features a slower oil absorption rate for added longevity. The cover is easily sanded or polished to achieve endless reaction possibilities on a multitude of lane conditions.

R2X Solid Coverstock
Type
Solid Reactive

Slightly more aggressive than the famed R2S coverstock material, the R2X is right in the middle of Storm’s reactivity chart. It is the perfect balance of porosity and durably. It doesn’t grab too early, but doesn’t go too long either. Its versatility can benefit numerous bowlers of various styles.

This shape can power through just about anything. “HD” is short for high density, which lowers the RG and raises the differential of the weight block. A higher differential translates to more flare potential, so every time the ball makes a rotation it exposes a fresh portion of coverstock material to the oil.
