A friend of mine was sold a sienna-colored AMB Centaur ball recently. He is a classic down and in, smooth stroker with about half a rev to his name. After bowling with this ball for three weeks with no success on a medium, house shot......barely getting a wrinkle out of this ball, and claiming it a dud.....I decided to test it for him.
I picked up his ball, the third frame of our first game, and literally played all angles of the lane. The deep inside from 4th arrow. Down and in, classic, straight down ten; and then played the middle of the lanes around 15 and out. This ball performed like a CHAMP!! Could not believe the response I got from this ball, from all angles. I finished up shooting 240ish, and told him I would buy it from him as soon as he was done playing around.
I did note that this ball likes oil, and it let's you know when to put it up by pinging all sorts of back row pins!
Don't know how old this piece is, but it works great! I was very impressed! This was my first time, ever, throwing a Visionary piece! It won't be my last!
