I love all my Visionary bowling balls. I have the AMB Cetaur Particle, Frankie May, Ogre Solid, Ogre Pearl, and Green/Blue Centaur. I took the plunge a couple of months ago after talking with Jim and Jason Wonders. I was a little concerned that Visionary cannot be used in the PBA, but I only bowl in the Pro-Ams anyway. Both Jason and Jim have been very helpful in helping me decide what bowling balls to get and what layout to put on them. Each ball is predictable, which enables me to read the lanes better and decide where to move or what ball to use.
I am very happy with Visionary. What put them over the top for me was the great customer service they have. Jason and Jim responded to all my emails and Betsy is wonderful to talk to. Fine bowling balls and customer service is what set them apart. That and not being a "ball of the month" company. Each ball is made well and made to fill a hole in any arsenal. No matter what your style is and the lane conditions are, there is a ball for you.
No bowling ball is good if it is drilled incorrectly. Make sure you know your PAP and find a good ball driller that will work with you. I hate the Hammer Black Widow, but my driller did not know my PAP and drilled it with the pin above and to the right of my ring finger. I felt I had to throw it really slow to get any kind of reaction. It was also unpredictable. I realize now with my higher ball speed that I should have put the pin below the ring finger to get it into an earlier roll.
In short, you cannot go wrong with Visionary. They have very durable bowling balls and great customer service. If you have any questions, you can email Jason and Jim Wonders from the Visionary website and they will get back to you.
