Who's been rollin' some good scores with Visionary equipment so far this new fall season?

I haven't put together a great set yet but like what I see with the Blurple and Solid Gladiator. 269 so far.

What ya got to report?

Like to hear how others are doing. Where from? Lane conditon? League or tourney?

Now's the time to crow about your bowling prowess.

783 with my new Ogre SS hot off the press

Don't know why it took me so long to drill another, one of my all time favorites. Was also able to use it all 3 games which is a bonus with this ball. Drilled it pin over ring and swung the cg an inch (5x4).

For those of you who need some length and a ball that you know will corner, this is a great ball. Can handle a little oil as well as long as the backends aren't too spotty.

Nice rollin' Krumpy!!!!

As spring approaches with warmer weather and lanes dry out B/G Centaur and SS Ogre are my favs!

Thank you very much Scott.

My Crimson Ex and SS will be a nice combo for the last few weeks. I am in a Trio league on fresh oil and they toast up pretty good by the middle of the 2nd game. I had a BGC, but I could never come up with a good surface that worked for me. Going to have to drill another at some point and try again.

I have a Greenie NIB that is calling me but it may be overkill. I did take a Glad Solid drilled 4.5x4.5 to 1000 plus Beans SS and had a great reaction as well in practice but I knew when the lanes started to change, the SS was the better choice.

what would be considered a "good score" ?

Hey Ken, wanna share some of those scores with Jeff S ha ha. He's doing ok with the SS but nothing like that and he could sure use them.

I think Jeff and I are probably the only two guys in NJ who own one

Maybe he needs to take the cover to 4000 to get a better reaction at Carolier and that surface.

I'm going to try and throw my ogre ss tonight. That ball and the immortal solid I have had bad luck with.

I've got a used SS that is pin next to ring out about an inch and CG mid grip label layout. I may plug this and see how much difference there is bewteen pin up over bridge and the label one.

I am seeing less and less oil as spring approaches. Used a B/G Centaur last night fluffing it up 10 and prior to that right of track using plastic.....built a nice hold area.

Might be time to start bringing Amulet Glow soon!

Good call Ken will inform him of potential cover adjustments.

Not to hijack but he took the other Ogre peal to have drilled pin over ring with the CG near the midline. Will keep you posted.

The SS can be a bit over under, have you played with the surface at all??? I like mine because I don't throw the ball overly hard (16-17 on Quibeca) and I am able to open up the lane with mine. Plus my release tends to smooth out any jumpiness off the spot.

Don't give up on it, but it isn't a benchmark ball by any means, unless you bowl on lighter patterns with clean backends.

That is how my Ogre Pearl is drilled. I like it most of the time. Have taken it from OOB to 4000ab back to OOB.

I am pretty convinced than on most THS China that most of us can use SS's, OP's, and B/G's with great results.

Less is more!

been using an ogre pearl and ogre ss almost drilled exactly the same stacked lev pin just barely above the ring and to the right.

consistently over 600 for the past 3 weeks with the ogre pearl as i changed my entire way my balls are drilled and only had the pearl. so i went to practice with my redrilled ogre ss and the trusty ogre pearl.

wasnt even trying first game and shot 182... ok not bad for practice. then i stop goofing around and throw the front 7.... ending with a 237? i think. then a 220+ (front 5)

for a 641. haha wasnt really trying and had a new thumb drilled and not enough tape for my middle finger (no grips / white tape) and i still managed to dominate the china shot.

BTW this was at jersey lanes in NJ(duh) and after a league beat up the lanes.

lovin' the ogres

It maybe my high ball speed that hurts me or maybe I'm just throwing it wrong. I'm going to take it to maroon pad and storm step 2. I've played with the coverstock alittle bit. The only problem is that was before I started keeping track of coverstock mods so I might as well start from scratch. I bowl second shift tonight so we'll see what happens.
