When I first heard about this release I was very excited. The Virtual Gravity was one of my all time favorite balls and the Zero Gravity has not disappointed. I drilled the ball using a 5" x 5" x 3" layout as recommended by Storm to use on a typical house shot. The great thing about this ball is that it gets down the lane much easier than most strong Asymmetric balls and does not over react when it hits the dry. The Shape Lock core has an RG of 2.55 which really helps to keep this ball from reading the lane too soon and helps it to retain energy down lane.
This ball is very forgiving. Send it out to the dry too quickly and it will make the turn without over reacting and still carry. Tug the ball into the oil and it will push down the lane and still carry. Overall this is a great strong asymmetric ball that is a great option on a typical house shot. I normally tend to stay away from Strong Asymmetric balls on our typical house shot but this ball has changed my mind and is now one of my first options out of the bag.


On the 2014 USBC Team pattern I was able to use this ball playing multiple angles. Unlike other balls I was able to continue moving left as things broke down without the fear of it reading the lane too quickly. The hard arc this ball makes allows me to control the pocket and stay relatively safe even on some of those bad shots that we all tend to make =).
Surface Change: The only change I made to this ball was polish. Even with everything I said above this ball really does need oil to work the best with the out of box surface. I shined this ball up to throw in league and it rolled great. The ball got down the lane even cleaner but still kept that arc shape to the pocket. This is one of those balls that makes the case for drilling up more than one.
