Miscellaneous Information
The Mixed breed solid is my go to ball when the lanes are wet and for sport pattern.  I like the way it rolls up at the break-point, very smooth and controllable. It makes a strong move towards the pocket and hits like a truck. It is good continuation through the pins. This ball does not roll out and it keeps the pins low and leaves very few corner pins. I would recommend the Mixed Breed solid and spartan are great balls for oil to anyone, a good 1 2 punch for oil balls  a good ball for tougher house shots and sport shot, if you’re looking for control in a ball that reads the oil well the mixed breed solid is a great ball .

I used the Mixed Breed Solid Friday night during league play after struggling the first game with The Classic.  The first game I bowled a 126 and could not figure out the shot.  The second game I spared the 1st and 2nd frames with The Classic, but decided to throw the Mixed Breed Solid.  I moved two boards left until I found the shot that I was looking for.  This positioned me with my left foot on the 25th board and my right foot on the 22nd board.  I opened my shoulder, bellied the ball out and it came back.  But I bellied it out to far because it was hitting the pocket a little light.  Well, I struck out in the 10th and finished the 2nd game with a 179. 

Well, the third game, I decided to play the lanes a tighter and just roll the ball up the 15th board and let the ball roll deep and tight in the pocket and WOW!  The Mixed Breed Solid back end reaction was tremendous and damn did it carried very well.  I even converted a 4-9 split during the 3rd game with the ball.  I finished the game with a 241.  The team I subbed for, which are my tournament group, were impressed with how hard the Mixed Breed Solid hit the pocket and how the ball held the its line, even when I missed my intended mark.  If I keep bowling with this equipment, I see my average increasing by the end of the year.  My average have has not increased in the past 5 years.   Also, weekly I am seeing higher scores and more 200 games since I have started bowling with Visionary equipment.  The ball was drilled with the intention of going long because of my low speed.  The pin is approx 4 1/2 inches from axes point.   Medium flare positions.  I am planning on purchasing another Mixed Breed Solid and several other Visionary balls.

COMMENTS
I absolutely love this ball and the motion on heavier oiled shots. I have this ball with the pin above my bridge with the mb 3" right of my thumb. This ball is the most continuous rolling that I've ever had. It's strong like my Ogre Particle, but with a different shape to the move at the break point. Think of the classic banana shape with a very strong move at the back end! The layout is 40deg x 4-1/2" x 30deg.

Likes: everything, except doesn't like lighter oil conditions, but it wasn't designed for that and that's what the pearl version is for.

Dislikes: Didn't get one sooner.
