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 wet play less wet and the dry, less dry, effectively allowing the bowler to create more area.

On the back-ends: The Activator Plus coverstock is powerful and continuous from the breakpoint through the pins.  Improved traction in the oil allows the Vapor Zone to bite through the carry down and aggressively change direction without breaking loose from the lane.  The strong rolling characteristics of the Ultra-Low RG core make this move more readable allowing the bowler to open up the lane.

Reaction Characteristics
•Out of the box:The Vapor Zone is an ideal ball more medium-dry to all but the oiliest lane conditions.  
•When shined:Using Brunswick’s Factory Finish High Gloss Polish the total hooking action of the Vapor Zone can be reduced and the arc made more skid/snap.
•When dulled:The Vapor Zone’s hooking action will increase providing a better match-up for oily lane conditions.

I know this is a retired ball, but I realized that I never posted a review on it...

This is by far my favorite ball that I have ever owned.  The cover is extremely versatile.  I still use it as my benchmark on house conditions.  I currently have it polished for maximum recovery on medium length oil patterns.  Last year I used it Rough Buffed on a longer walled-up house condition to smooth the reaction slightly.  It has excelled in both situations.  It is still my go-to ball when I feel lost on the lanes.  It is very clean through the heads, revs in the mid-lane and has an aggressive but controllable reaction off the pattern.  One of the most underrated Brunswick balls ever.  10/10

I would like to replace it but it's kind of hard to do that when you're still throwing honor scores with it
