VIRTUAL ENERGY BLACKOUT

The Virtual Energy Blackout builds on an already concrete foundation created by the Shape-Lock HD Core. But now, and sleeker than ever, the Blackout has taken the reigns with a tour-inspired 1-tone design. The shape you didn’t know you needed until it was gone is back!

Defined Energy

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.



Breakthrough Begins

Traditionally, the term “hybrid” suggests that both solid and pearl components coexist within a coverstock. We saw a better way for hybrids and took it. When we joined R2S™ with NeX™ in the lab, the results exceeded our expectations. In our testing, we discovered that the NeX foundation produced a similar backend and entry angle numbers because the chemical porosity of R2S is slightly more compact than NeX. We left nothing to chance with this one. Thus, ReX a.k.a. “Reactor Extreme” was born.

I can play the entire lane with this ball. I can go straight deep on the lane. Play the track on house shots. OR hook the whole lane if I need to. This is my # ball right now!

Amazing Cover!
Another Storm ball that I love! To start off with, lets say the Code Black. The Blackout, for me definitely has more back end than the Code Black. That makes this ball a lot more enjoyable. This ball reads the lane very well. If you watch the ball mid lane, it will tell you when to make a move a little deeper, or more towards the gutter. Then the back end...for me, its not like a hockey stick hook. Normally I hit a ball, (this ball had the Reacta Gloss Factory Finish) with a 3000-4000 pad. This I have not yet. I like it, I like it out of the box. It's a fun ball for sure and its BLACK! If I had to one word this ball....It's "comfortable" Very comfortable ball to have in my hand, and always in my bag!
