Correct Gary.

And I forgot to respond your other question.  I always thought it was Blue Warlock Haugen used but could have been a Char. Ex.  I could play my Blue Warlock down and in easy rolling ball but with right surface prep and decent line always was good down and in ball.  But The Orange was better.

They are a smaller company and dont think they can benefit profit-wise after paying the PBA fees from registering their balls.  

You can read the statement on their website, www.visionarybowling.com , but here it is:

 

quote:

---

Unfortunately, due to the recent format change and the price increase in registration fees, Visionary Bowling Products LLC has decided not to participate in the PBA program for the 2005-2006 season. This decision was not taken lightly and was neither anticipated nor desired.
.......Our corporate goal has always been to serve the bowling public with high quality, high performing bowling balls at an affordable price. In order to maintain these goals, and continue serving bowlers and pro shops with the same commitment and price structure that they have become accustomed to, we felt the only option was to temporarily step away from the PBA. We understand that this decision is not going to be popular with bowlers that participate in the Regional, Senior or National PBA Tour, and we sincerely apologize for any inconveniences that it may cause.
.......Visionary would also like to reiterate that our equipment has been, and will continue to be approved for ABC, WIBC, YABA, and USBC sanctioned events, including all leagues and tournaments that are not governed by the PBA. Bowlers who do not participate in the Regional, Senior or National PBA Tour, will in no way be effected by this decision.
.......At Visionary we truly appreciate all of our loyal customers, and want to thank you for your continued support. If there is anything that we can do to assist you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.

If he want to bowl senior events, the new Generations Tour does allow Visionary equipment.
