I know that it has come up time and time again every year the season starts. But i would like to know how many people out there would like to see Visionary product on the PBA shows. Also see how they react on those patterns. I was a big user of this company until they did not register. I also wanted to know how many people stopped using them completely after not registering.

I stopped using them pretty much around that time. I wasn't a regional member back then, but I did bowl 2-3 regional stops each year. I just didn't like the idea of falling in love with a ball that I couldn't use in certain environments.

I don't blame Visionary for not registering; it's a very expensive process. Nevertheless, I bet it has hurt at least a little bit of their business because I'm sure I'm not the only one who stopped using them for that reason.

I wonder how much their sales dropped....even if they dropped X amount, as long as its less than what the registration fee, paying a tour rep, and paying someone to use your equipment adds up to, in the long run they are ahead....but its a good question.

That is a good question. Also look at what happened to Morich. A small company a few years back then at the Masters Danny Wiseman won with a Ravage. Now look at the company the have the all-time title holder on there staff. If they where to register the can become just as big.

The only person I've seen use Visionary on TV is Michael Haugen. You can argue that it took him all the way to the show, and that he did have some really exciting matches (his match against PDW is one of the best I've ever seen), but never won with it.

WRW has always liked very strong equipment and strong asymmetrics. He used a lot of Track in the years before Morich and their bread and butter, like Morich's, is that quick-spinning medium-heavy and up hook monster.

I loved using Visionary Products I they fit my game well. I miss using them but there is no reason I should get them since I cannot use them at PBA events. Now I use Morich those who quit using Visionary what company do you like now? Also I would not mind paying a little more for there products so we could use them in at least the regionals for now. What do you guy think

I don't compete in Regionals and you have brought this up before roaddogg. It's not going to change IMO. Most Visioanry users don't compete in Regionals nor the Tour so why would we worry about if it's PBA registered? I could care less as most would. Visionary is not the ONLY manufacturer that is not paying PBA fees. I agree with what the Wonders did...makes business sense to me.

I brought it up because I loved using there equipment and I would love to use them again. But until they register there is no point in me Buying there stuff. So I was wondering how many others fill the same. Or if they raise the price of there equipment would people still buy so they can be registered
