The Visionary Samurai uses the React-A-Tack pearlized coverstock that comes out of the box at a 1500 grit polished finish and features Visionary’s Classic core. This polished bowling ball packs quite a punch at the breakpoint and back end.

Our testers liked this reaction shape best on our medium test pattern. Tweener and Stroker played close to each other on the fresh. Both testers were just inside the second arrow, with Tweener being a little farther left and getting the ball a little farther right down-lane. Both testers were able to strike plenty, making small moves left with their feet
