Visionary Ogre SS Bowling Ball

(7 reviews) Write a Review
Developed to create length and pronounced backend motion, the SS Ogre is truly a skid/snap ball. This ball utilizes our DESTROYER coverstock; a highly reactive shell that allows the ball to sail through the heads and store up energy for the backends. The SS Ogre is intended for use on shorter patterns, or house conditions with fresh backends, and will go longer and break sharper than the Purple/Black Ogre Pearl. The OGRE line is powered by a symmetrical, dual density core design without a wrap. This allows for a thicker, more uniform coverstock for extra resilience and energy at impact with the pins. The dense flip cap helps create a strong move at it’s breakpoint, while the body of the core helps to provide a consistent reaction without the typical over/under you see from many reactives.

    My specs. tweener 15mph at deck,pap 5 over up 1.Ball drilled 4x4 pin over ring.I ues this ball on fresh ths conditions with flying back ends.I can send the ball over the 15 board and it skids about 40 feet and turns and crushes the pocket,if i miss a little outside it will make its turn and send pins flying. I have used this ball on dry lanes and was surprised at the way it skids out and then has enough power to kick tens out. I have yet to shoot under 600 with this ball,i think Visionary is making the best bowling balls now.If you have not tried one get on board now.

    This ball really does go long and finish strong. Started the third game with this ball, after oil burned up and Immortal Solid was too much. Went back to where I started first game at straight up 10. Ogre went long and finished hard. I had messenger pins a plenty, but they were wasted because the pindeck was already cleared. Was able to stay on this line the entire game, with only a slight hand position adjustment. Very easy ball to love. When oil is medium or lighter and you need easy length and strong finish, The Ogre SS is an excellent go to ball.

    This ball is a great go to ball when the black immortan starts hooking to much. The ball carries corner pins better than the black immortal too. But with those two balls you have a pretty good combo of bowling balls. They will cover most lane conditions that you come across. With exception of really heavy oil and drier lane conditions. But overall I like my ss ogre its a great ball, for the litttle time I have had it. I would also like to say that I have a freind that has an ss ogre and he bowled a doubles tournament with it and he shot 278 279. No big surprise him and his partner ended up winning the tournament.

    Visionary - Ogre SS The SS is has very strong back end Ball Creating length and pronounced backend movement the SS Ogre is truly a skid/snap ball. This ball utilizes the new DESTROYER cover stock with a 1500 grit Polished finish This highly reactive shell allows this ball to sail through the heads and store up energy For impact explosion at the pin deck. keeping the pins low right to left instead of straight up. which doesn’t produce consistent carry or impact . The dense flip cap helps create a strong movement at it's breakpoint, This ball with a good lay-out can be used on Longer Oil patterns, as well, As well as house conditions with fresh back ends. The SS Ogre will go longer and break sharper than the Purple/Black Ogre Pearl. The OGRE line is powered by a symmetrical, dual density core design It Has a thicker more uniform cover stock which produce resilience and energy where it's need Along with an dense flip cap to helps create a strong move

    The SS is a very strong backending ball I would not say it is a flip-snap type reaction more of a quick/deep arc. It will sail through the heads and mids reving up all the way seeking the dry and then do it's thing with a furrious blur throwing itself into the rack unleashing it's wrath on the intended target. The SS does not do well on wet/drys or carrydown but on fresh with clean backs and in a chopped up track area is when the SS shines so long as it has dry boards to dig it's claws into. This is my goto ball on these conditions and I can use my same line all night long never moving a board. Whats In Your Bag ?

    this is the 3rd Ogre I have on hand & is the most agreesive one for drier patterns with clean back.I suggest all players to have one in the bag in order to handle the short patterns which between 32-35 feet. The Ogre SS is quite sensitive for oil & dry zone.Skid far away thru the heads & make a super large angle to pocket.This is the perfect one for cranker players,I think.And for tweener or stroker style,I suggest to scuff the surface a little bit.It won't sacrafy the backend power but can improve the grip reaction for those lanes without obtain daily suitable clean procedure.
