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.

You did remember to put some soothing bubble bath in before soaking the ball, right? If not, there's your problem. Lane 1 balls are obviously female (diamond core, cost more, high maintenance, etc.) therefore, if the bath was not to her liking, she probably got so mad at you she cracked her shell. It's the bowling ball way of busting that throbbing vessel in her forehead...

21 in a row with the Ogre Particle last night. Put a light coat of LM polish on it and just took it to 2000 for my league on Thursday which has a little more oil.

To me, this ball reminds me of a BGC with more hook overall, very similar motion for me. Everyone was moaning how the lanes were breaking down and the OPART was smooth as silk.

If you bowl on a shot with heavy oil up front I highly recommend this ball. As Scott33 stated, just get it on line and it will do the rest. Shots that look high just set up and it has just enough movement to rip the rack on half pocket shots. Not a ball to go coast to coast with though.

Thank You MI2AZ. I went 228-300-264. Started with a ball that didn't read the midlane as well and switched about 5 frames too late. Sometimes you just have to admit that as hard as you try, you can't make every ball work, at least I can't. Went 9 pin in the 10th and switched to the O-PART for the fill ball.

Right lane had carrydown but the O-PART pretty much ignored it. As the game progressed my reaction got better. Pulled the 11th one a hair and ball just set for a high flush. Moved 2-1 on the left lane to start the 3rd game on the lane that was making everyone nuts and the O-PART just held the line so well, was almost unfair.

Got really pumped up in the 9th and just flew it by the breakpoint for a 2-4-10. Could not get angry at all because it was such a fun string. Very interesting ball so far

One of my better scores this year......last night on older wood and finally the ladies league in front of us is done...now we are on fresh.

Ogre Particle for first two games 270 & 255. Ogre Pearl last game as mids were broken down 238 for 763.

Just as Krumpy/Ken has been saying the Ogre Particle is amazing....just let it do the work. I used my fluffer style no hand sliding 21 up 9-10 at arrows and holding a tight line.

Great ball Visionary!!!

Great bowling Scott! Very well done!! Solid especially on wood.

So where is the bad score thread? lol

Jeff S had the other OP redrilled and the operator didn't listen to his request of pin over the ring finger with the CG near the midline.

What he got was pin in the bridge with the CG kicked right that looked to be about a mile away.

He has low rpms to begin with and this ball just dies on the backend. What a waste of a drill on a good ball. It reminds me of my Creature solid, just rolly on drier lanes, useless because you can't get too deep, and skate on any kind of oil.

Hopefully he'll get the operator to listen on the next Visionary ball he punches up.

We may have to start a bad score thread

Thanks a shame Anthony. That ball is pretty midlane dominant to begin with. Any chance of bringing the cover up to see if it can store some energy??? Or is there another shot that Jeff bowls on that he could use it on??

A_P_K · « **Reply #147 on:** March 25, 2009, 07:24:25 AM »

Yeah, after talking to Jeff T and a few of the Vis guys here we tried to avoid any CG kick at all but I guess there was a huge brain fart with the operator.

At Carolier lately the lanes have been fried so his SS is more useful with it's length and strong finish.

Jeff should get use out of this OP in the summer at Majestic. On the mild China he can probably get a controlled bounce off the dry without over reaction. He had success with the OS last year thanks to the slow response to friction.

He'll kill me but for the record he shot 156.

Wish I had my digital camera running. This might give an idea how my Ogre Pearl and Ogre Particle are drilled. No X hole on the Pearl Have it now as close as I can get to OOB. Basic Storm Step #2 with moderate amount of pressure. Ogre Particle is OOB 1000ab w/slight amount of Legends polish over. My PAP is 4 7/8 over and 0.

Scott your layout on the OP was the idea I had in mind for my buddy's but it didn't pan out. Maybe he can plug and redrill it a 4th time lol.

Um, what surface adjustment would you suggest, 4000ab matte, 2000ab polished? I don't have a lot to work with but I can try something for him next week.

A_P_K,

The illustration is pretty crude. Pin is right over my ring Cg kicked in a little about 1/2" right of mid grip on the mid line.

I've tried it at OOB and 4000 abralon. When I want to control the backend for me and the backends are flying I've used it at 4000ab. You get a little more arcing reaction with it at 4000ab. Since, I've been bowling more tourneys in WI <Sr. State, State and local on older wood> I took it back to as close to as I can get OOB which I think is a moderate amount of pressure using Storm Step #2. I like the slightly more length and oooomph off the spot with the slight amount of carry down present. On synthetic, I'd get a better reaction at 4000ab on fresh.

It's plenty of ball for me with 4 1/2" pin to PAP and PAP to cg about 4 3/4". I have a Yeah Baby laid out like this and one of my favs. I also had a Awakening drilled like this which you know about A_P_K and for whatever reason the Ogre Pearl worked out as a better ball for me. I think I like the resin/cover Visionary uses better than 900g's BASF covers. Just a perosnal thing.

I use an SS Ogre pin over bridge and CG directly below as the next ball under when moving in on inside trajectories.
