Visionary and leagues, etc.....
« on: February 01, 2010, 08:31:20 PM »
Scott had one started a while ago and it got to be many pages long.  So, asking how people are doing now that 2010 has been underway for a month.

Anyone got some new Visionary stuff they've been using lately?  Shooting well?  Scores, etc??

I know for me, this year has been mostly the New Breed year though I've thrown the Immortal Pearl and awful lot.  Between league with my son where I shot another 300 (Immortal Pearl) and my first 800 (NB Reactive Pearl) and sitting around 221 and my other league where I use all of the New Breeds and the Immortal (couple high 700 series and a 298 along with 230 average), Visionary equipment has been very good to me this year!!

Anyone else??  I know Spike is having one his best years throwing the New Breeds.  I expect to hear from him.

Scott,

I would like to clarify that I also work for a Pro Shop and from time to time ball companies will send us equipment to get their products in the door.  Eric Thomas graciously sent a few products our way and upon drilling them requested that I write a review.

I have had many great successes with Visionary and because I was one of very few that threw the equipment at the MegaBucks, many assumed I was a staffer.  Would I like to be, absolutely, but as Jason said, I'm a Test Staff Member, nothing more, nothing less.

Use what you will people. It's all about the score!  


And right there is why I do use Visionary only.  I was talking with Jason the other day and we were talking averages.  Yeah....I know.....THS.  But last year I was over 230....and that ended on November 3rd as it went below the next week and I never sniffed it again and finished out with a 219 I think.  I was happy as that was 7 pins above my previous years average using only older Faballs.

This year we are in February....and I am still over 230.  No FIGJAM.....I know it's a THS, but I've been throwing more consistent than I ever have and the each of the balls has rolled better than anything I've thrown.  And that includes a 221 in another house....bowling with kids.

That is why I throw Visionary.  And that's why I have no desire to 'open my mind' and try to throw anything else.  Why would I want to mess with any of the success I am having.

Sorry I made the assumption Jason.

Straight from George's profile.  "07-Current Member of Visionary Amateur Staff"

Test staff meant just that term.  Amateur staff is a different term to me and I did think your company did maintain at some time in the past and I thought you still did.  My mistake.

Didn't Visionary also in the past maintain a shirt staff?

Scott,

I can understand the mistake, and it doesn't help that George has that in his profile.  He hasn't been a rep of ours for about a year and a half now.

We do have the test staff membership, a true amateur staff, and an unofficial shirt staff.  There are big differences between the three, and only true amateur staff members get free equipment.

Well...mentioned it in some other threads, but managed to hit 300 number 6 this past Sunday night in the Youth/Adult league I bowl in with my kiddo.  

Was throwing the Immortal Pearl playing a small bellyhook shot.  That's the second 300 in that alley for me and using the same ball as last time.

The Immortal has gotten a lot of use at those lanes.....and rolls exceptionally well there!!

Congratulations on your sixth 300.
You still have time to get 60 more.

I've only been bowling with my Gladiator Pearl for about a month, but my consistency has been so much better.  I'm not one of you guys that are all star bowlers, but I've been throwing much better and getting my average back up to 160.  That ball has got to be one of the most controllable balls I've ever thrown and it hits HARD!  No series really worth posting...first week I threw a 499...lol!  Once I get up there near 600 I'll start posting

Nice series' Spike and A_P_K.

Cappy, everyone has their own personal scores or goals to beat, so if you accomplish something that exceeds what you have done before, don't be afraid to post it.  There may be some that bash, but overall, most recognize that they have been there before and will help you celebrate your feat.

Nice rollin' boys.  Agree with Gary and there is not much bashing on this forum.

Line up for me right now is Nomad Solid, NBPP and old Track Heat re-make on  carried down house shot 2nd shift.

Gotta reiterate what Scott and Gary said.....post scores.  We've all been there!!  I remember my first year....averaging low 160s throwing a house ball hard and straight as an arrow!!  Did that when I finally got my first ball in some 20 years....an ebonite gyro I think it was.  Still averaging that huge 160+ at the time!!  So...we've been there.

However....we do like to fix things to be more appropriate for the Forum!!

Naw Gary I like to tell the truth.  Not every Visionary balls matches up for me and this tuff carried down condition...my Vis. stuff just didn't do the job.  The three I listed do for the most part nothing lower than 625 after fighting it for weeks on end.  Either change and score or be loyal and struggle.  Which would you pick?
