Ogre Review
« on: September 15, 2010, 07:59:32 AM »
Well guys after 5 weeks of bowling this year I am finally able to post some reviews of the visionary stuff that I have been using this year.  Over the summer I was able to get my hands on a Gladiator Solid, Gladiator LE, Solid Ogre, and a Gryphon 3.   All balls give me different looks with the same drilling on each.  All balls have the pin above the bridge and the mb 3 inches from the thumb.  This layout usually gives me a good about of length through the front part of the lane and gives me a strong continuous backend reaction.  I am a lefty with ball speed around 18mph.  

The Ogre Solid was another ball I was excited about.  Like the Gladiator solid this one out of the box was going to be way too much surface for me.  I first took this guy to 1000k and thought I would see if I could use it and just as I anticipated it was just too much for me.  So back to the proshop and took this guy up to 2000k and was still too much so at this point I decided to take it up to 4000 and add some polish.  This is where things get interesting for me because of the reaction I get compared to the Gladiator.  This one for me is cleaner through the front part of the lane and then gives me more backend than the Gladiator Solid.  This ball for me is another great ball for the house conditions because it doesn’t seem to over react when it hits the dry.
