I currently own 3 midnight scorchers, great on tournament patterns with heavy oil
2 Purple Ice Executioners, my favorite ball of all time
a granite Gargoyle
a centaur AMB Particle -- my second go round with this one -- didn't match up well with the amb core --this one I put a 320 hook/set drilling on it, haven't gotten to use this one enough yet to see if this drilling is better for me
a Gladiator solid -- love this ball when I can use it
a Gladiator LE -- love this ball, gets much more use than the solid
a Scorcher NPT -- my second go round with one of these....with a high flare drilling on it I actually like this one.
a Green/blue centaur -- also my second go round with one of these. The first one I owned I absolutely hated -- picked up another one last year and put a 320 degree hook/set drill on it and now I like it
a crimson Executioner --- really like it when I can use it
a warlock dc -- not really sure about that one, but still have it
clear Amulet -- I should have kept that one--but I have a clear wolf now
an immortal solid -- never really matched up with the core -- no longer own it
Bronze centaur pearl -- never really matched up to that ball either -- no longer own it
Gladiator pearl -- hated it --- bought it used -- it was already drilled twice , once for a righty and once for a lefty, which might be the main reason that ball never rolled right or consistently-- no longer own it
Spartan -- never handled the conditions as I was led to believe it would -- tried multiple surfaces and redrilled it and didn't like it at all...no longer own it

I STILL HAVE A CLASSIC IN THE ROTATION, AND A GLADIATOR PEARL ON THE SHELF.

As many know, I have used Visionary since their inception.  I have used every VBP ball since then except for some of the z-spinners.  I had some issues with the z-spinner balls which has been beat to death and I won't go into.

I currently use a 2016 Warlock Hybrid XV (medium to medium-heavy) and an old 2006 Blue/Green Centaur (light). 

I have many 15 and 16 lb. older VBP stored away as keepsakes that I shot many honor scores with.  All the great balls from the past Warlocks, Gargoyles, Executioners, Ogre.

I can't wait til next fall when the Ogre line is replaced hopefully.  I also see a Raven Invasion in my future to bad my bowling season will be ending shortly otherwise I'd try more. 

I have never has a VBP ball crack and they are all long lasting.  Great customer service from some of the best folks in the industry. I see good things for VBP in the future.

   




 

I was wondering when you would come to the party! Great to have you post and hope you can post a lot more in the future, you have the most wealth of knowledge about Visionary and the bowling balls.

Recently plugged and drilled a Raven Invasion for myself. First VBP for myself. With my specs, it works great with dryer conditions. Would love to try another for more oil. Any suggestions?

Invasion is the pearl version of the Raven Attack. Attack has a solid cover, so by nature, it will handle more oil. VBP covers are very easy to work with, so you could try it at factory surface and adjust as you see fit.

It good to see that people really like their VBP and still have a open mind about them.

 I currently am throwing a blue/green centaur. I got rid of the one I had, and regretted it so much, that I have spent the last year keeping my feelers out for another. Got lucky, and walked into the shop a couple of weeks ago, only to find a fully plugged and in pristine condition one on the for sale rack.  It now resides at my house, as I honestly consider this one of those "must have" balls for my game. Will NOT be gatting rid of this one.

 I was a BIG fan of Visionary. I found out they were the people that had originally been the Faball creators, and I LOVED the old Hammers back in the urethane era, so I gave them a try.  They were impressive and really fit my game well, so I had actually gotten to the point where they were the only ball I would throw.

 I have had:

 Blue/Green Centaur----3
 Green Gargoyle---------3
 Granite Gargoyle--------2
 Immortal Pearl----------1
 Charcoal Executioner---3
 Blue Sparkle Gryphon--2
 Burgundy Gryphon------1
 Warlock DC Tour--------1
 Red Sorceror------------1
 "Blurple" Ogre-----------1
 Orange/Black Ogre------1
 FM Gryphon--------------1

 

I had a couple different Visionary balls in my bag from 2007 until a year or two ago.  The main reason I don't use Visionary anymore, is that I am forced to use an online pro shop atm, and they don't carry Visionary balls.  I used to buy the ball directly from VBP and take them to the local shop, and that's no longer possible.  I would love to try the new Warlock, and I always loved the Ogre core so the Raven would be something I would like to try.
