I punched mine up last week very similar to JD's. Got two nights of league play in- 686 first night and 699 the 2nd. First night the oil was heavier and I played straight up 8-9 board and walked in. Was able to use Raven all night with minor adjustments. 2nd night was drier and I had to play much deeper. Even swinging the Raven more than I would like, the ball still came back with enough pop to carry the 10. It became too much ball as night went on and I had to change to my Samurai and Glad Pearl. I couldn't be happier with the Raven and will give a full review and attach some pics and/or video in near future. Great job Visionary!

So I decided to practice today and put my Raven on the spinner to try something else. I took it back to 2000 box finish and applied a coat of Storm Xtra Shine.

The Xtra Shine calmed it down a lot. But I didn't really like the reaction, so I think I'm gonna take it back to box finish or 4000 abralon and leave it there

Its been a while since I've thought a VBP bowled hooked a lot. This one hooks a lot. I used it 1st game for a 210, then put it away. Lanes were just too dry. I couldn't swing the ball at all without over hooking. I think I'm gonna try 4k or maybe some storm #2 over the factory finish.

Yeah I like mine at 2000 out of box, but I think I am going to get another Raven and play with the surface some..

Had it drilled and tried it but I did not care for the out of box reaction that I was seeing so I put it on a spinner and changed the surface.  I usually do not care for the VBP pearls OOB so I should have done that first before trying it.  The patterns were the USBC Nationals Team and Singles/Doubles.  Compared the Raven to a Blue Warlock and a Radical Reax v2 Solid.  Strongest reaction was with the Blue Warlock, followed by the Reax V2 Solid, then the Raven being the straightest.

Took it out to the lanes today on a fresh THS shot and liked the reaction much better after the first game.  Will have to try it out in league and see how it goes.  Planning on bowling on the Nationals patterns again so will be able to compare it again with the new surface.

What surface did you change it to?  I hit mine by hand lightly with 1000 after the first night and it seemed to bring it to life.  I have not touched it since other than to clean it and I still love the reaction.

I used a Burgundy scotchbrite pad, then lightly with Light Gray scotchbrite pad, followed by a light application of Perfect-It 2.  That is my normal THS surface.
