Technology The Vapor Zone brings the popular reaction of the Absolute Inferno to the Zone Asymmetric line. The Vapor Zone combines the same rough buff Activator Plus coverstock used on the Absolute Inferno with the Ultra-Low RG Asymmetrical core system from the Zone Classic. This core/coverstock combination produces an Absolute Inferno like ball reaction with the drilling options of an asymmetrical core. In the front-ends: The Activator Plus coverstock is clean through the fronts, saving more reaction for the back-ends. This provides improved hitting power and back-end recovery while reducing sensitivity to breakdown in front-end lane conditions and lane surfaces that are less than ideal. In the mid-lane: The Ultra-Low RG core provides strong mid-lane recovery while the Activator Plus provides improved traction in the oil with a smoother, more effective reaction off the dry. This combination reduces over/under reaction by making the

The Vapor Zone is outstanding. The move it makes at the darkboards and through the deck is amazing. Carries a lot. The ball is just really good, no other way to explain it. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Another great one from the Brunswick Zone line! In my opinion it is the best ball out of the Zone Series! Until yet ,the Inferno was my favourite ball, but now it think the Vapor Zone can replace it. Throw it stragiht to the oily parts of the lane and it will hit the pocket. Throw it to the outside dryer parts of the lane and it will hook back to hit the pocket with the same action! The only (dislike) until now is, that the ball really overhooks when lanes become dry. I think the ball is for medium to oily lanes and should be the first one out of the bag on fresh lanes!

Good on the fresh when there is plenty of backend. If you are bowling on a heavy oil or long oil patterns this is not the right ball. This ball looses its carry and rolls out if the back ends are not crisp. Would not recommend for anyone looking for a single ball for the avg leauge bowler. This ball would fit well for the tournament bowler looking to add a ball for meduim to light oil conditions. Many Brunswick staffers rave out this ball. I'm still searching to find what all the talk is about.! If you have success, I would like to hear about it. Please post on this site.<scr

Very good ball reaction right out of the box. Played in some with it on a medium "housey" type of shot. Seems to go thorugh the front really well without much over reaction. Makes a good move on the back (even on carried down backends) of the lane. Allows me to through it away from me more than my Absolute Inferno (an I really like that ball too). Have had it out twice since I drilled it. Fresh oil, squirts through the front and makes a nice move on the backend of the lane. Second shift with tighter back ends, still make a nice push through the front without much if any early hook. Still turns back some (more than my Absolute Inferno) on the carried down back ends. Shot 685 on fresh oil and 745 on second shift condition. I would say this is a much better ball than the Classic Zone. These are the only balls that I have with this type of core. This ball is much more predictable than the Classic. It was a little too squirty and jerky.<scri

I was lucky to find a PERFECT example of this ball, with the exact pin-distance, MB location, etc., I wanted: It was drilled leverage/axis, with the pin right of ring finger (high), CG on PAP, and MB past VAL (Mid-lane area). X-hole on PAP. On fresh house-shot oil, it starts up beautifully between 2nd and 3rd arrows, more direct; and it hits like a TANK. As the shot deteriorated (which if does DRAMATICALLY in this center), I was able to move in gradually, parallel or slightly more approach move than lane move, and continue to play the ball- where other balls in my arsenal would scoot or be erratic in reaction, this one grabbed smoothly in the mid-lane, arced nicely, and retained PLENTY of energy for a solid finish and devastating hit. It was late in the 3rd game when I had to put it away and go to something significantly longer and weaker (and usually, by that time, I'm on the third or fourth ball of the night. The conditioner in this center, on these SHOT old wood lanes, REALLY mi

Ok, so i had some games with it and ordered it right after that. I used it side by side with the Smoking, the Rampage, the Absolute and Zone Classic and i must say that it was the strongest one out of the bunch (at least for me it was). It has a massive snap at the backend, maybe a bit too strong for anyone with too much hand and/or slower speed. I was playing with me slide foot in the gutter and launching to various lines. Didn`t actually find any way to play a more direct line, finally settled for placing the breakpoint more-or-less on the 2nd arrow and trying to get the ball as far down the lane as possible. Its not actually the line im used to playing and so i made a few mistakes with my shot but i don`t remember leaving too many splits. Light pockets carry like gold, nice sweeping action from the 2nd pin the the 7th pin. Im not sure how long i can stay accurate with this type of shot but im hoping that it`ll calm down a bit sooner or later. Ok, thx for reading, im not going to fi
