I know for a fact the The ball TOON is talking about is the charcol ex he does have the granite gargoyle and the red but he throus the two ex the most and it reacts the way he said it does and i know the purple ice ex was suppose to be urethane on steroids but i hadn't heard that bout the granite.

stormerjip,

You're right and I was wrong.  It was the Ice Ex that they said that about and not the Granite.  I've been getting a lot things wrong lately.

Just got back from St Lois and all I can say id Grpon.  Blue sparkle for medium and Burgundy for heavier oil.  Doesn't cover all conditions, but its a great start.  I have and had a lot of Visionary equipment but the Grypons seem to be great bowling balls, especially the blue Sparkle.

V/R,

I too am on their staff, but am on their staff for a reason!

EVERYBODY should try at LEAST one of these 3 balls--Green Gargoyle, Red Executioner, or Blue Gryhpon.  Can't speak on the particle Gryphon yet, haven't thrown it.

The Green Gargoyle has simply been the best kept secret in the bowling industry for a couple of years now.  I've drilled up two of them now and absolutely love them both!!!  I'll be ordering another soon.  The red executioner was an awesome ball as well.  Not quite as versatile as the green gargoyle, but wow does it hit!!!  I couldn't believe how well this ball carried.  And the blue sparkle gryphon (recently drilled up) seems to give you the best of both worlds from the red ex and the green gargoyle.  Smooth through the heads, big flip, and WHAMMO!!!  I'd very highly recommend all 3 of these bowling balls to everyone.

The black executioner (haven't thrown one yet) has also done great things in the bowling world.  I believe that was the ball that PBA staffer Michael Haugen has had great success with on the tour.  My experience with the black executioner from seeing it thrown by locals is that it isn't ideal for house patterns, but is more than ideal for tougher lane conditions.  It will give you an unfair advantage on sport shots and PBA patterns.  hahaha.  Seriously, it does appear that way.

I'm extremely impressed with Visionary in the year plus that I've been throwing their stuff.  Now if they'll please please please bring back the DC Tour and make me a happy camper

Yeah MB I love the DC core too.
I have 3 DC tours, 1 DC Warlock, and a DC Schorcher, I love them all.
I need to see what they have left so I can get one more tour.
