Also, I had an e-mail from Jason that stated the Black Pearl Immortal is coming out now in Jan. This growth has pushed some things back for now.

With the chatter about the equipment being nothing but good. Bowlers in Australia are now finding out good this gear is (something we Visionary devtoees already knew).
I cant wait for the Immortal to be released.
Keep the good work up Visionary !!!!

Now if they only were PBA approved
sully--Are you a PBA player? Just wondering why it is important to anyone that is not a PBA regional or Nat'l player. I believe Audric was the only one of the regular regional players here that this effects. It may effect a few others but for what it costs for licensing to the PBA it's a no brainer on the part of Visionary in my mind.
For me, it does NOT matter if a ball is being used on the PBA or not. Maybe to some others it does. I do not make my purchasing of equipment based off of how a particular player with different technique playing a pattern I may never see is using on TV.
I usually go off of what I may see first hand and magazines with "good" ball reviews like BTM.
Just my take.

I do believe it's how the PBA has structured their licensing fees <hi-jack> as to why some smaller companies like Visionary took the route they did.
Wish you luck!

My bet is you'll be hearing more and more about accomplishments with Visionary gear in Australia.

Yes, I was a test staff member and regional player who used only Visionary equipment. I loved my Burgandy Gryphon and blue sparkle. With Jason, I love his reason and his candor about the p.b.a. tour and the inflated rise of registration of balls for the tour. Even if I help in a pro shop, I am like most, with the cost for equipment. I couldnot afford to buy equipment without multiple uses ( i.e. Leauges and regionals) If I could, I still would throw Visionary but I choose not to right now to help my fledgling p.b.a regional tour carrer and my bowling.

Question Alan. Are the balls you get in AU the same as we get here in USA? Subject to same rules/USBC differential and such?
Wondered.

Scott
Yeah, I beleive they are the same balls, the rulings we have on cores, covers, rg, diff etc are the same as yours, which all pretty much stem from WIBC guidelines.
Our National importer (Bowling Balls Australia) which I am part of, gets them direct from Visionary, and I'm pretty certain they aren't manufactured separately. If they were I imagine prices would be sky high due to higher production costs.
