Visionary Crimson Executioner Red Pearl Bowling Ball

(6 reviews) Write a Review
The Crimson Executioner harnesses the power of the Green Gargoyle's cover stock and inserts a totally new core. By combining a medium differential with a low RG, this core allows the ball to rev easier and recover sooner from longer oil or carry down, while still getting through the heads cleanly. When the Green Gargoyle isn't quite turning the corner soon enough, this ball is what you need. The reaction is in between the Green and Granite Gargoyles (closer to the Green). It clears the heads easily like the Green. It's breakpoint is sooner than the Green but not as early as the Granite. It packs the hit and powerful drive along with the predictable reaction of the Gargoyles; but with a more dynamic - high performance core, it offers greater drilling versatility. Great on everything but heavy oil. This ball features another core from Visionary. This time it's a low RG core with built in mass bias by taking the bottom neck and shifting it at a 30 degree angle from being opposite the top neck. The mass bias can be ignored and drilled like a standard two piece with great results, or the angled neck can be treated like any mass bias for exotic drillings. The angled neck is located on a line from the Pin through the CG at a distance 11-1/4" from the pin past the CG.

    on a house shot under normal medium oil you can not beat the crimson for hitting power,flip,carry,and control. it is my favorite ball from visionary.if you have some backend on your house shot take this ball and sling it deep.trust me it will come back like a boomerang.on light oil you can loft it deep and it will delay it enough for the flip to break later.on heavier oil you just need to tighten up and move center,dont sling it as deep and you will still hit.i have shot most of my honor scores with this ball.my only ring came last year with this baby.ive been in the 290s three times with my crimson,and shot my only 2 seven series with this ball.i love it!and think you will too.

    Mine is drilled 5x4 and I've used this on toast as well as longer mediums. Either shot I have to play, once I'm lined up this ball always gets the job done. It glides through the drier heads and won't roll out as long as you have a bit of head oil. It is also strong enough to turn the corner when there is a longer pattern out on the lanes. The one main strength of this ball is it's heavy midlane movement. Despite it being a pearl, you can play almost every part of the lane with no squirl. It also has that Visionary typical hit and carry making it a great ball for most league conditions. Every serious Visionary fan should have one.<scri

    As those of you who read my reviews know I am the first one to say if a ball does not work it is either you or the way you drilled it up. With all the great science going into these modern lane Missiles. It is truly difficult to point to a ball and say BAD BALL. I have been quite fond of Storms approach and they are a good fit for my game However in an Effort to support Visionary’s wonderful offer to you all. You all should check out their review staff offer at Visionary's web site and to get our shop in the spotlight, the kind folks at Visionary Bowling Sent us 4 balls to drill up 3 for evaluation by their staff and One for me to play with. Gill Drilled up three or four more Visionary balls for Michael Haugen, Jr. We will drill any Visionary ball for members of the review program for 15 dollars plus freight grips and slug or insert. I must admit I was in no rush to drill this ball since Gil thinks I need to settle into a smaller bag. I normally carry a 6-ball arsenal to the la

    Another quality product from Visionary. This is by far my favorite ball from Visionary. One of the best balls I have bowed. Use it almost every league night. It just all depends on the lane conditions. IF the lanes are too oily, the ball really doesn't carry down the lane well. It doesn't have the backend action to get through the pocket. On med conditions will have to move bowling position to get the ball into the pocket. It reacts better on med oil then the Green Gargoyle. Waiting to try out the new products from Visionary. The Purple Ice Execusioner and the Gryphon.

    An excellent ball for playing fresh light oil on the outside boards of the lane when playing down and in. It gets through the heads very clean, goes long and comes back very stong. When the midlane gets a little too dry, this ball will tell you quickly to put it away. A great ball when you need more on the back end. This ball will handle some carry down but gets a little hard to control when you have to move inside and swing it to the dry. It is a great first ball out of the bag. Thanks to Chris from Buddies Pro Shop for drilling this one for me.

    Overall this is easily the best ball I have ever bowled with in 24 years of bowling. It rolls beautifully off the hand regardless of whether you are a power player or a stroker. It carries like no other ball, and is very easy to control. They are almost unheard of here in Australia, but once word gets around these babies will sell like $2 microsoft shares. Do yourself a favour and get one. I have bowled with balls made by many other companies, but I cannot ever see myself bowling with anything other than Visionary from now on. Apart from great balls, Visionary also have some of the best customer service that I have ever dealt with and provide a prompt, efficient service second to none.<scri
