I agree 6cranker.  

FYI..............pop_1 I looked up my old review on the Blue-Green Centaur that I posted in 2004.  Here it is verbatim.  Might give you a more in depth look.  I have dropped speed since then and my PAP now is 4 7/8" over and 0.

Overall

I have had this ball since beginning of 04 season and now have enough games on it to give it a fair review. Tried this ball from Visionary for THS wet/dry more for control than anything. Nice surprize. Can play dry on THS and not have the over reaction you see on most equipment these days. Have not had my feet this far right on lane in years. Had to get used to playing lane squarer like back in 60s & 70s. If you are looking for ball to cover a lot of boards this is not the one. If looking for a ball that allows a player to go more down and in or with small head belly with great hit and carry this is your ball to try. One of the better kept secrets around.

Lane Conditions Used On

1.) House shot #1. Brunswick house older wood with Guardian overlay in heads new summer of 04. Lane conditioner Kegel Offense length has varied 38 ft. to 42 ft. over season. Good kickbacks, pin decks and pins. Propreitor likes to put down a THS puddle in middle and very dry outside of 9-10 to gutter. I can play 7-8 in the dry starting and not have to over reaction you usually see and move into lane as heads go. I did take ball to 1200 Storm Step #2 to allow for a lil more backend and carry. With the high Rg ball lopes thru heads easily and gets in a good midlane roll though not as noticeable as many lower Rg balls. Carry relatively high for a lower flaring ball. Solid reactive cover is reasonably strong but I believe the modified DC core is the main reason for good carry. Have scored many good 200 games highest so far 279. Main reason I'll put it away is for lane conditioner carry down. Because of the large puddle and Offense we get a moderate amount of carry down into 3rd game.

2.) House shot #2. 12 year old Brunswick center w/Anivilane 1st generation. Lane conditioner Kegel Offense. THS lil more outsides here 41 ft.. Overall a lil more of a more rounded pattern than 1st house. Still easy scoring condition probably easier for most because of the not so wet/dry condition. Again, I can play the dry near same line and carry is probably even better than the wood house. Here, I use a more lil more axis tilt when my game is on.

3.) PBA pattern A. Used this ball on A from 3 board to 8 board with very good results. Did not get the under over you might get with higher flaring equipment.

I had asked for more balls from Visionary with solid covers and this is the first out that many THBs can use right out of the box. Very well thought out ball. Hope this review helps BR users.
