..The AMB-IMMORTAL is the latest adaptation of our highly successful Anti-Mass Bias core design. Unlike other balls which use dense materials to create a mass bias, the AMB design utilizes an extremely light cap opposite the desired mass bias location. This AMB flip cap creates a negative mass bias on the side with the cap and also creates a positive mass bias at the desired location. This allows the bowler to drill the ball in just about any possible manner, without affecting the core shape or dynamics.




     Although the AMB-IMMORTAL Pearl uses the same shape core as the Centaur-AMB line that''s where the similarities end.  

    The AMB-IMMORTAL core has a heavy cap added to the bottom of the core.  This allows the density of the top cap to be increased significantly.  The result is a core that produces an extreme flare potential with it''s 0.078" differential (This ball was grandfathered in before the USBC changes and is currently higher than any new ball can be produced - BUT it is legal for use in all USBC competition because of when it was approved).



To Layout the AMB-IMMORTAL  properly, you must first mark the "Virtual Mass Bias" by drawing a line from the 1/4" locator pin on the backside, through the 1/2" white flip pin around the ball. Mark an "x"180 degrees from the AMB pin (13 1/2" from the AMB pin which puts the "x" 6 3/4" from the black pin. This Virtual Mass Bias point can then be treated using the same general rules that apply to other typical mass bias spots.


*** By using the AMB cap to create an Anti-Mass Bias (negative mass bias on the back side) it allows the ball to have a lower RG than the original DC core while maintaining a high differential. It also helps maintain more of the core dynamics for most drillings. In the case with most strong Mass bias balls, when drilling the thumb - you remove a large portion of the heavy core or cap used to create the bias, resulting in less of the core''s original dynamics. BUT, with the AMB core, you drill into lighter coverstock and save almost all of the original core shape - retaining the true reaction originally designed by the core.

 Visionary got the right one baby
The new core, keeps pins stay extremely low and hits like a truck!!! The one I tested was drilled . I was able to play the middle of the lane with an extreme break point or more right towards the gutter with a hand change. no matter where I played this ball carried the 10 pin like no other  thrown. I would like to  this core and weight block combination

Creates an large scale window for missed-release
If you are a stroker or tweener player. This ball works and hooks
 For competition purpose. The strike force will bring you lot of feedback and satisfaction

which use dense materials to create a mass bias, the AMB design utilizes an extremely
light cap opposite the desired mass bias location. This AMB flip cap creates a negative mass bias on the side with the cap and also creates a positive mass bias at the desired location. This allows the bowler to drill the ball in just about any possible manner, without affecting the core shape or dynamics.
Likes: This ball is very clean thru the heads and reads the midlane like no others!!! When the ball hit the break point, it signals without warning
Dislikes: The only thing I see with is ball is even on the house shot, in the heaviest oil, it tended to squirt a little, but recovered quickly. ( if this is a Dislike)

5" pin above bridge, MB below and right of thumb. I tried this deep inside and when it hit the breakpoint it went dead left. Talk about turning the corner, wow! When I took a little hand out, I could play a little swing from in the oil out to the dry at 35 to 40 feet and it was devastating from light to flush, and even tripped a few 4 pins. This is my new medium condition ball. I'm loving my Visionary equipment.

The AMB-IMMORTAL  Anti-Mass Bias core design. Great ball by Visionary.

I drilled mine with the pin below my bridge and cg kicked out 45 degrees. First set out on THS .
Med-Heavy oil with Med backends this ball gave me a great read of the mid lanes with a strong but very controllable backend reaction.
I started with my feet standing 25-30 & looking at 12 , playing out to 5-7 . The ball cleared the heads with ease  as it reached 40-45 ft the core
Started its flip and the ball exploded the pocket. I stayed here for the  first game .
After the first game I had to move in about 3-5 boards deeper with me feet and this ball just worked no matter where I moved.
When I started the 3rd the lanes where getting too dry , so I had to switch to my Orge Pearl. Great 1 – 2 combination.

The Immortal Pearl is a Great ball to start with, Visionary really came up with a winner with this one.

First set out- Immortal Pearl 259 , Immortal Pearl 246 , Ogre Pearl 238 – 743 series. Thank you Visionary

Likes: great medium oil ball
I normally out to 10 and have it hook back into the pocket but with this ball I play inside going into aroung 16 and snaps into the pocket.  Or I will play at 5 on drier conditions. Hard hitting ball I own.

Dislike: When the lanes get dry the ball snaps too hard.

My specs:
Left handed, ball speed around 16 MPH, rev rate around 300 RPM, axis rotation of around 60 degrees, and axis tilt around 30 degrees.

Let me just start by saying that I have some reservations about writing this review, since the last thing I want to see is this ball in the hands of someone I’m bowling against.  I would just as soon keep this ball my “secret weapon”.  I drilled it up with both the pin and mass bias 4.5” from the axis.  I thought long and hard about drilling it up this way, since I had seen what this drill pattern had done with the Centaur Solid, and the Immortal has a core with even more differential and a polished pearl cover.  I was kind of afraid that the breakpoint would be more than I could control, but took a deep breath and decided to give it a try.  Am I ever glad I did!  This ball is just a blast to throw!  It glides through the heads and midlane so easily that you begin to wonder about its strength, but then it comes to life in a great big way at the breakpoint.  The way this thing revs up and makes its move to the pocket, it seems like the ball speed increases after the breakpoint.  And hit?  Let’s just say that so far my carry percentage is in the high 90’s with this ball.  In a house where I finished last year with a 218 average, I’ve used this ball for the last three weeks and am averaging 240!  It just throws pins sideways and doesn’t leave anything in its wake.  I’ve been able to just roll this baby with an easy stroke, not doing anything to the ball and letting it do all the work, and had a stronger reaction than just about anything I’ve ever thrown.  People who have seen me throw other balls watched me throw this one, and when I turned around they were just laughing and shaking their heads.  No one could believe the reaction.  On a medium lane condition, I was playing from around 14 at the foul line to 10 at the arrows out to 4 at 45 feet, and then coming in dead flush.  One person commented that it looked like someone tilted the lane sideways at the breakpoint, and the ball just ran downhill.  All I have to worry about is accuracy, just getting it on line.  The finish, hit and carry are all a given.  This ball is a stroker’s dream.  It lets them play their accuracy game and still get the entry angle, hit and carry of a more powerful player.  For the tweeners, it lets them generate more power and entry angle than anyone should need without the fear of early hook.  For the heavy handed, this could be an “open up the lane” ball supreme.  The only downside I can think of with this ball is that it’s so much fun to throw you might be tempted to stick with it longer than you should or use it on conditions that you shouldn’t.  It’s the kind of ball you just hate to put up.

Conditions –

1.  Modified Shark

This ball shines out of the box finish.  I was able to play deep with this ball, and it opened up the lanes for me.  It gave me the right look at my breakpoint and finished strong off the dry.  Out of all the balls I have tried for this pattern, this one was very continuous through the pins and gave me the best look.  This ball gave me options for attacking the pocket, but the best line was playing deep.  I was able to put a lot of forward roll and play 20 to 8, but the deeper line was more advantageous.

2.  Chameleon

I flirted with this ball on the pattern to see how it compares to the Immortal Solid.  While the Solid rolled through the pins and gave me a nice arc, the Pearl gave me a sharper angle at my breakpoint and left me with a bunch of easy spares.  If I was to shoot for score, I would use this ball after my Immortal Solid, which would have been after three games.  After the line broke down, this ball shined as it gave me a nice sharp arc at continuation.  

3.  THS (36-38 ft.)

This ball has become my go-to ball after the first day throwing it.  The ball reads and reacts very well for such a strong asymmetrical.  I get plenty of length and a snap that reminds me of an old ball of my younger bro’s, the Storm Eraser PBT.  It revs up very well in the mid-lane, and gives me a strong controllable continuous motion through the pins.  Out of everything I have thrown in the years, this ball is the smoothest of all of them.  It allows me to throw a deep inside line on the mediums and more of a direct line on the heavier side of oil.

After a few months has passed and trying to figure out how versatile this ball is, this is a benchmark ball.  For my needs, it will work on lighter sides of medium, but I would rather throw the SS Ogre if I needed to use a pearl reactive.  For mediums to medium/heavy patterns, this ball is so smooth and predictable throughout the lane.  It is very versatile, from the deep inside lines on mediums to playing a more direct line on heavier patterns, I have seen a continuous sweeping motion that finishes strong.  

pin location: right of ring finger and 1/4 up
CG location: at 4 o'clock in relation to the pin
1" weight hole just right of the CG
PAP 6" right and 1_3/4" up from center of grip
yes, it is an strong-early layout on a ball designed to go long with backend

had to jump on here and post an update review of this ball and its layout. after 1 year of play with this ball, it is still playing strong on the lanes. monday night men's league, i was having problems with play of any ball in my bag 15 board out. i would have one ball that was giving me great mid lane looks (Columbia 300 Rival) and another that was giving me a good backend reaction (Columbia 300 Wrath), to bad i couldn't put the two together. instead, took out the "I.M. Pearl" to see its reaction. with 5 member teams, i felt that this ball should roll clean through the heads and have a hard, smooth transition on the back. i was so right but wasn't expecting what i saw. i had to move left and started the ball around the 25 board (4th dot from the left side) playing out to around the 7 board at 38'. perfect reaction and just enough oil to give me a great reaction on the lane. i shot 167 the first game as i tried numerous things to carry. switched to the I.M. Pearl and finished 216, 267. this prompted me to play this ball the rest of the week shooting everything from 642 up to 728. thanks again Visionary for the release of the Immortal Pearl.
