Had an Immortal Pearl to start it all off.  Don't have it anymore.  Also had 2 Midnight Scorchers....don't have them either.

Currently throwing a Blue Centaur Particle, Gladiator Solid, Ogre Pearl, Violet Gargoyle and a Slate Blue Gargoyle.  I still have a Violet Gargoyle NIB sitting around and am waiting for a Gladiator Pearl from a friend.

Thinking very much of looking into Ogre SS for one....and really wondering about the Ogre Particle.  Gotta get back with Jason to see what his thoughts are for next!!

Thinking some of the older stuff too....

Current arsenal=

Granite Gargoyle (first out)
Violet Gargoyle (if Granite too much..)
Green Gargoyle (excellent skid/snap)
Slate Blue Gargoyle (dry lane king current spare ball)
Midnight Scorcher (semi-retired oiler)

Gargoyle line might be discontinued, but the all match up to my game perfectly hit and carry rival anything out there. In my opinion, the Granite and Slate Blue are 2 of the best looking balls ever made! Those who have ever owned one know what I'm talking about!!!

Current Active VBP Balls I Currently Use

Red Fireball Sorcerer
Infra-Red Amulet
Glowing Amulet
Midnight Scorcher
Slate Blue Gargoyle
Green Centaur
Gladiator Solid

I must say they are all great balls.

I'll add that with my slower speed coupled with the current condition I throw on (wet/dry type of shot) I tend to lean towards smoother rolling bowling balls like the urethanes.  

The Scorcher may soon be replaced by the new ogre particle not sure though as its kind of hard to get rid of such an old classic, may have to see if I can find I new Scorcher as mine as seen its day!

I started looking for balls with a similar core, tried storm, columbia, then I came across this site called visionary, and I tried a few balls and then found him, the executioner, and the rest is history.  I've shot several 280's and 270's with the Charcoal, but I haven't hit the big three.  I almost had it with a 288 that I shot, got to the 10th frame and the lanes broke, so I had to wait 10 mins, and that was enough to ice me

I don't own as many as some, but I completely believe in this company and it's products.  All of mine are 16lbs and drilled LF pin over the ring finger w/ the CG kicked out:

Granite Gargoyle
Burgundy Gryphon
G-3 Gryphon
Blue Sparkle Gryphon
Blue Green Centaur
Centaur AMD Solid
Ogre SS
Immortal Solid
Immortal Pearl
Gladiator Pearl

BTW, does anyone know if Visionary's coming out w/ another plastic ball like the Glowing Amulet?  I would love to own a reissue (considering I can't phantom an undrilled or LF drilled 1st issue GA being available anywhere)
 

--------------------
Laughter is the language of the Gods.
In my bag (16lbs):

Visionary Immortal Pearl
Visionary G-3
Visionary Blue Sparkle Gryphon
Columbia 300 Blue Dot
