After reading the latest in the series of posts telling all Lane 1 bowlers how stupid they are for using "over-priced brunswick equipment", I decided that I want to be smart. Since these scholars seem to be judging this matter on price alone, I have done some research and found that you're only smart if you use Visionary equipment. This assertion is based upon the fact that Visionary offers the lowest prices for its high-end equipment. Since the equipment is good and the prices are the lowest overall, that must mean that Visionary is the only option for "smart" bowlers. There you have it guys and gals, let's put AMF, Eboite, Hammer, Columia, Storm, Brunswick, Mo-Rich, Nu-Line, AZO, DT, Track and, of course, the evil empire that is Lane 1 out of business once and for all! Let all of the smart bowlers in the world unite unde three glorious letters: VBP!!!!! Case closed.

You make a good point. I guess I was being elitist. But no spreadsheet is needed. Here is the deviation of which you speak:
Highly intelligent bowlers: Visionary
Mildly intelligent bowlers: AMF, Storm, Columbia, Ebonite, Brunswick, etc
Falling down stupid bowlers: Lane 1
If you fall in the middle category, then just go ahead and pick whatever ball looks the coolest to you. Sure, you won't get the same bang for your buck that the Highly Intelligent group will, but look at it this way, at least your not in the falling down stupid category.

9`, You're right, Visionary is only for SMART bowlers. Wait, does "smart bowler" have the same conotation as "Military Intelligence", or "Smart Blonde". Now I'm really confused.

What I think makes Visionary stand out above the rest even if their equipment could be considered mediocre to some, is the versatility you'll get out of any one ball.
I've read people using the Granite on lighter oil, floods, and just about everywhere in between. Myself, I've found that I can use the Green Gargoyle on various house conditions as long as there's fresh dry to work with. There's something out there for everyone and maybe sometimes you'll have to work harder at finding which ball performs well for you.
Like many others also said...they're prices are just plain better than other companies.

The last three balls I bought - one was Brunswick, 2 were Lane #1. I wouldn't know where to even buy a visionary ball - I think Oregon doesn't allow importing them!
