Congratulations on your 300 game.

Nice shooting Johnny.  That ball produced my first 300 game.  Hmmmm....I really do miss that ball.

Congrats!!

Thanks Gary, as you well know the Ogre line up is second to none at any price point!

Totally agree with that statement!!  And sadly, as I look to my honor scores, the only ball I still have left is the Gladiator Pearl, which is by far the best ball I've thrown over the many years of throwing Visionary equipment.  I would dare say that I have bowl best with it over the 13-14 I've been bowling.  Testament to how good their stuff is!!

You know that Glad Pearl is one of the balls I regret not getting, Gary what are you using now that is VBP?

Only throwing in one league and interesting thing is, it's not the same house I've been at.  So wasn't sure what to keep going into this year.

I take Spartan, Bronze Centaur, Gladiator Pearl and Blue/Green Centaur with me.  I have thrown almost exclusively with the Glad Pearl, though one week I did play all 3 games with the Spartan, and every so often I bring out the Blue/Green when it's really dry.

At home I still have an Ogre Particle and New Breed Particle Pearl.  And Spike (aka Spike2112) sent me a Blue Sparkle Gryphon that I will look to drill up....and got a used Purple Ice and a used Slate Blue Gargoyle.  SBG will be going in for plug and redrill hopefully tomorrow.  Same for Purple Ice.

Have debated on getting something newer.....but problem is the house borders on even lanes that break down.....but it really depends on how they start.  I just can't see getting something monster hook when I'll never use it.

Gladiator LE is one that I really thought very heavily about though.

Congratulations on the great bowling.  I've always thought that if you could only choose one VBP ball, the blurple would be a leading contender.  These days, it might be a toss up between the blurple and the Classic.

Thanks and Yes the Blurple is a great ball, but IMO the whole Ogre line is. How do you like your Classic and how is it drilled? I have one ordered as well as a Warlock.

I'm still waiting on my Classic.  The comment was based on everything I've heard, seen and read from people who already have theirs.  I'm planning on going with a 60 x 4 x 30 drill with no (or an insignificantly small) weight hole.

Gotcha, I thought you already had it, when did you order yours?
