    i got this ball for $60 off the ball rack and im glad i did. this ball isn't a hook monster or have some amazing hit as though a earthquake is happening. this ball is very smooth, revs up great, looks so cool, does carry well, reads the lanes very well, doesn't die in the dry, and is my favorite ball. this is my "old faith" ball that always pulls me out of trouble. i have had this ball for probley 2 and a half years and its always treated me right. it has lost some hook and hitting power due to hundreds and hundreds of games and being resurfaced who knows how many times. STILL, i love this ball.

    this is by far the best ball ive ever used, i have another zone and this is 10000 times better. ive also used a ebonite and this is also 1000000 times better. i ahve no dislikes on the ball so far,but ive only used it for about 20 games. and my scores skyrocketed already. its an awesome ball,i love it. but i have to use it more foten,and im ranting andive only used it about 20 times.halshsjdgjdfsgfd. but it is still an awesome, and i like what i see. i also pulled it of a rack so it really isnt mine it was mint cond. when i got it so it is nearly out of the box and i love it.

    I bought this ball used and had it redrilled. It has a great hook and hit the pins with great force. When I used this ball, I stood on board 10 and threw it over board 25 and I always came back. 1 year after using this ball my average went up 20 pins at the end of league season and the beginning of the next fall season it was up 20 more. My only problem with this ball is I bought it used and after the first year with it, it started to die on me and I cannot get it to hook like it used to.<sc

    I like the ball because it complemnts my Contact Zone very well. I drilled the Riot Zone exactly like my Contact Zone (3 3/8X3 3/8). I knew that i would get the same reaction so i went back and hit it with some Black Magic. Took the ball out to a pair of lanes that have had 2 shifts of league. The ball moved nicely through the heads and went about 3 feet farther than the Contact Zone and made a nice smooth move to the pocket, destroying the rack. This was exactly the reaction that i was looking for. Its' a very good ball!! thats' why i gave it a 10!!

    Now that this ball is discontinued, for you money pinchers, the deals that you can, this is by far the best ball for your money, hands down. After 2 years the ball reacts and hits just as it did out of the box. Naturally every bowler is different, however, I have no problems going cross lane at the 7 or the 10 pin. I had purchased balls from Columbia, Hammer & AMF and none of those compared to the Riot Zone. Since purchasing this ball, my average has gone up over 20 pins, it's amazing what you can do when you have a ball that gives you confidence like this one does.

    Many people said that this is one of the failure ball made by Brunswick. I personally feel that those people are too critical about it. It has a decent carry works well on most condititons ( not on the extreme, then again, which ball does? ) Overall, this ball has no problem stringing up 6 or 7 strikes and works well in competitive or practice shots. The drilling has to suit your playing style if not this ball is considered as good as dead. One of the best ball brunswick has other then the Fuze series. Although not the best value for moeny, this ball is definately a great arsenal in any ball bag.

    i think that this ball was the worst ball i ever invested in i sold it a week after i got it i hope everyone will take my advice and never ever buy a brunswick product again maybe a fuze but thats it. i really dont know what else i can say about this ball cause there really isnt much to say about it except its the worst. it rolls early so i shined it up and it never even came back. so i sold it and the person that bought it said they hated it too so if u are reading this dont EVER buy a brunswick product again if i were u i would go right to columbia since they are the best by far

    This is simply one of the greatest balls i've ever thrown. I bought this ball the day my local pro-shop owner received them. I don't remember how I got it drilled, but this ball got down the lane and about 5 yards from the pins and then just snapped at almost a 75 degree angle. This ball carried almost everything, I did leave a few ten pins with this ball. Almost all of my friends eventually got this ball too, and i've never , ever heard anyone say they didn't like this ball. If you get this ball you will not regret it!
