Customize Your Ball Finish
?
This custom option allows you to choose a different Abralon finish on your new ball. This will be done using our ball surface machines and professionally trained staff.
500 Grit Finish: Early Roll, Even Arc Reaction 800 Grit Finish: Same as above with a little longer length. 1000 Grit Finish: This is a great surface for a strong roll in the midlane with good backend reaction. 2000 Grit Finish: Will roll longer down the lane than 1000 with more backend reaction. 3000 Grit Finish: Slightly longer than 2000. 4000 Grit Finish: The ball will actually look like it has a light polish on it. This still gives the ball traction in oil with the strongest backend reaction for a matte finish.
High Gloss Polish: We will polish the ball with whatever the factory box finish is. This will give the ball added length and more backend reaction 1000 Grit then High Gloss Polish: A good base of sanding with polish on top. Will still cut through the oil, but with a stronger backed reaction than 1000 Grit Finish. 2000 Grit then High Gloss Polish: Longer than 1000 with a strong backend reaction. 3000 Grit then High Gloss Polish: Longer then 2000 with a stronger backend reaction. 4000 Grit then High Gloss Polish: This will give the bowling ball the absolute longest reaction and the most skid so the ball conserves the most energy for the backend part of the lane.
Drilling Protection Plan
?
Drilling Protection Plan:
If your new ball cracks when it's drilled by a pro shop, we will replace your ball free of charge! Manufacturers' warranties do not cover for cracking during drilling and drillers are not held responsible for their mistakes or defects in the ball.
Ball must be drilled within 14 days of receipt (If this is a gift and will not be drilled within this timeframe, simply send us an email and we will give you an extension)
Protection must be purchased before ball is drilled

all may not be plugged in any way
Bridge cannot be weakened by holes that join at the bottom
Defect may not be caused from lane damage, ball return systems and/or gutters
Pin Distance
?
Pin Distance:
This is the distance between the pin (small circle on ball that marks the center of the weight block) and the Center of Gravity (CG).
Here are some guidelines to choose your pin distance so your ball driller can lay your ball out based on your desired reaction of the bowling ball.
No Preference: Choose this if the pin position does not matter to you. (FYI: Most good ball drillers can make just about anything work) If you consider yourself a beginner or a bowler that just does a normal label drilling, go ahead and choose this option)
1-2 Inches: Great selection for pin down drillings to achieve and early and smooth roll
2-3 Inches: Great selection for just about any layout. The ball driller can achieve many different desired ball reactions with this pin distance.
3-4 pin: Great selection for layouts to get the ball to go longer down the lane. This is also good for bowlers that have long spans.
4-5 pin: This is an extreme pin and is hard to come by. If you choose this distance, your ball shipment may be delayed or refunded due to hard to come by balls with 4-5 inch pins.
Top Weight
?
Top weight is the amount of weight difference from the top of the bowling ball (CG) and the bottom of the ball.
No Preference: We will ship what is available and will normally be between 2 to 4 ounces.
2 to 3 Ounces: Is for standard drilling techniques. It is also used for advanced drillings where moving the cg further off center of span creates a stronger drilling.
3 to 4 Ounces: This top weight is good if you want the ball to push more (go farther down the lane) while adding backend motion.

Product Information
3 Words to describe Virtual Energy Blackout
Elegant
Sharp
Glossy
Check out the Storm Virtual Energy Blackout Bowling Ball – A Fusion of Power and Precision! Step onto the lanes with confidence, armed with the cutting-edge performance of the Virtual Energy Blackout. This remarkable bowling ball takes the renowned foundation established by the Shape-Lock HD Core and elevates it to new heights of sleek sophistication.
The Virtual Energy Blackout seizes control with its captivating tour-inspired 1-tone design, a testament to its dominance on the lane. Rekindle your passion for the game, as this ball brings back a shape that you didn't realize was missing until now. Unleash the true potential of your game with the Virtual Energy Blackout's groundbreaking features. The "HD" in the core's name stands for high density, a quality that works in tandem to enhance the ball's performance. By lowering the RG and boosting the weight block's differential, this ball is primed for extraordinary flare potential. With each rotation, this ball exposes a fresh section of its coverstock to the oil, ensuring consistent and dynamic gameplay that adapts to every lane condition.
Traditionally, a "hybrid" coverstock implies a combination of solid and pearl components. However, Storm's pursuit of excellence led them to redefine the hybrid concept entirely. Enter the revolutionary pairing of R2S and NeX in their state-of-the-art laboratory. The outcome surpassed even Storm's loftiest expectations. Rigorous testing revealed that the NeX foundation yielded backend and entry angle figures akin to those of R2S, with a unique twist. The slight compactness of R2S's chemical porosity compared to NeX forged a new frontier of performance. Thus, the birth of ReX, aptly known as "Reactor Extreme," emerged as a testament to Storm's unwavering commitment to innovation. The Virtual Energy Blackout Bowling Ball is more than just a bowling ball – it's a game-changer that reshapes your approach to the sport. Dominate the lanes with unparalleled power, finesse, and control. Experience the fusion of cutting-edge technology and expert craftsmanship!
