This is the newest ball in the Zen line and features a new cover called Reserve Blend 801 Pearl, Meditate Symmetric Core, and reacta gloss finish. First look at this ball the colors remind me of a Dark Code or UC2. After throwing this ball on house, challenge, and sport patterns it is cleaner and more angular off the spot than the OG Zen. The GL will be more of a skip/flip type of reaction compared to the OG Zen. The OG Zen is earlier and rounder on the lanes for me. I never matched up to the OG Zen even though I really wanted to but the shape of the Zen GL matches up better with my game. I can see being able to carry both these balls in your bag without overlap. When the OG Zen is starting to read earlier than you want, you can switch to the GL for a cleaner cover and more length. And the same when the GL is going too long, you can switch to the OG Zen to read the lanes earlier. This will be a good ball for transition when you need a cleaner ball through the fronts, move left, and still need the ball to make the corner down lane. Side note: To me, the shape of this ball reminds me of a Dark Code. I wish I still had a Dark Code to compare to but unfortunately I do not.
