The Shock ZoneProâ„¢ expands the envelope of Proactiveâ„¢ performance by combining a high RG core system with a DTX Proactive cover stock to produce the latest reacting, most skid-snap Proactive ball to date. The large doorknob shaped core incorporates a 2” diameter low-density sphere in the center of the ball to push the RG Max to 2.639, the highest ever achieved with a DTX Proactive cover stock. This higher RG, in combination with the medium-high 0.048 RG differential creates an overall RG average of 6.1, also the highest ever for a DTX Proactive. This core/cover combination helps to keep the ball in check through the front part of the lane, allowing it to unleash its power in the mid-lane and back-end.  Thus the Shock ZonePro provides a Proactive ball with better down-lane recovery and increased entry angle into the pocket than other Proactive choices. The performance of the ball makes it the perfect choice to bridge the gap between Reactive balls and the more aggressive, earlier arcing Proactive balls in the Brunswick line. Compared to the other balls in the “Zone Proactive Series”, the Shock ZonePro’s overall hook potential is similar to that of the Riot ZonePro Purple Pearl, but the Shock ZonePro’s higher RG core system creates a breakpoint further down the lane, generating a more skid/snap arc than the other balls in the Proactive Series. Compared to balls in the “Zone Reactive Series”, the Shock ZonePro will produce a similar to slightly sharper arc shape compared to the Danger Zone Red Alert, but with more overall hook potential than the Red Alert. The specifications are: Part Number: 60-103409; Cover stock: Proactiveä DTX-3; Hook Potential: 115; Length: 100; Typical Breakpoint Shape: 75; RG Max: 2.639; RG Min: 2.591; RG Diff: 0.048; RG Avg: 6.1; Hardness: 76-78; Color: Burgundy Sparkle; Surface Finish: Cerium Oxide Trizactä; Weights: 12-16 lbs

I just recently got this ball and had it drilled 5 2/8 x4 7/8. I have a 5 5/8 over and 3/8 up axis. This ball allows me to control the mid-lane very easy. I have a 400 grit surface on it to give me more control. But I half to be careful with the ball cause when it starts to roll up early you need to switch to a diff. ball. I really like the reaction this ball gives me. I am a tweener with avg. ball speed and revs( trying to increase them both). The ball gives me a smooth arc all the way! I wish all of you luck with your bowling.

The lay out is 4 X 3 15/16" with a little extra polish.

WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!  Can we say a particle ball with some serious backend and flare?  This ball flares forever, but it doesn't really hook-up too early like many high flare balls do, however, when it gets down the lane and makes the turn it goes!  It makes my Vortex II and Stomp B/G look even, and those two balls were no where close to even for me.  I still need to throw the ball a little more to give an accurate account of what it does on different patters but if you want backends with a high-flare particle ball, this it.

My Shock Zone is drilled with a 75 degree drilling
(pin 4 1/2" from pap, cg out, and a small hole on
my midplane).  Surface is trizact (white pad).
The ball has performed when the backends are
fresh.  Carrydown has affected a consistent
backend and hit.

Not sure how the drilling was. Bought it used from a guy with the same span as me. The first time I threw the ball was on a medium to dry oil condition the ball reacted very well, it had a very sharp entry angle into the pocket and the pins exploded. first set was a 257, 223, 207 for a 687. Great go to ball when the lanes start to break down.

I got this ball in September. It is drilled using brunswick 1E drilling pattern.  This is not as good as it sounds at all.  This ball rolls very early with the drilling pattern and leaves a lot of corner pins.  The only conditions that i have had any success on are ones where the lanes had little grip in the back ends and have drier out sides.  In the amount of time that I have had this ball i've thrown 3 700 hundreds.  That sounds good but it's not for me.  On my normal league condition it has no room for error and has a big over under reaction.  This ball continues brunswick's lack of success since they relesed  Riot Zone.  I give this ball a 2 out of 10

Owwwwwwwwww EEEEeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

YES!!!!

If you ever read my ramblings you know this.

I have a Pro Zone Violet I can hit the pocket with all day.
No 300s.  Over 20 258 and above!  Light is golden, flush is 7 pin.

I have a Monster Scream/r I love but it is a little quick thru the heads in the leagues I bowl in and depends on it's lightning quick backend to score.

I've owned and loved both the Demolition Zone and the Impact Zone and found both to be some of the most exciting skid snap monsters and carry monsters when I need to get third arrow and beyond.

Now this beauty.  Pin out 4 inches, 2 ounces of starting top weight.
Drilled 4 X 5.  No Weighthole Pin way out away from ring finger and above.
(Had another Shock drilled near thumb leverage by a driller(too early).

What I'm looking for is the Impact Zone but a little more rounded, and a little more able to handle a heavier condition(they call that midlane right?)  Voila!  

This is it!  The perfect blend between particle and reactive.  More predictable with almost the back end of reactive.  (Didn't I see Parker win with this on TV)

The Condition, Pretty heavy head oil, crown in the middle, and to add a little spice a glaze outside of 10 on both sides to the 35 foot mark.

Tweaked and fooled with the thumb on this thing for three weeks before I threw it.  Still isn't right.  Went up and shoveled this thing on the lanes about 13 to 9 at the 40 foot mark was the plan.  Well this thing really had a mind of it's own(due to difficulty getting out of clean)  Shots hit everything from 16 to 9 at the arrows(sort of embarrasing! and went flush.  No 7 pins for two games and square up and flush 10 in the pit.  663.  I don't know if I've ever sprayed like this and looked so good at the pocket.

To give a little more insight into this shot the Red Fuzes, Demos, Ti Messengers Pearls, Monster Scream/rs were just leaving ringing 7s like crazy.
The bigger handed the more pronounced the breakpoint on this Synthetic heads,
Wood backends condition.

This house (my home house has always given me fits, my lowest average by about 10 pins usually).  The key has always been midlane and my strong siderelease has left me in 7 pin city at this carrydown house.

Take the Pro Zone Violet, and the Impact Zone and marry them and you get this smooth, oil munching(not the heaviest) monster with near reactive backend. I hope the coverstock holds up like my Pro Zone Violet has!

I think I'm on to my highest average ever in this bugaboo house of mine!

REgards,

PS Anyone got a great condition backup of this beauty!
PSS I don't know if the large pin out is a help.
PSSS I don't know if the center line transfer finger setup was also a help, I love this ball!  

I've gotta give props where they are due. Got this ball from Lucky Lefty, used. He told me to drill it leverage. I had my driller set it up exactly as he had it set up originally, for a left-hander...only right handed for me. Leveraged, with a 1" shift off the midline. This ball is GOLD!! Great for medium to light-medium, on up till the lanes start getting dryish. This ball gets great length, and a strong proctive-like arc,....but it hits a ball that just snapped into the pocket. Been using it on synthetics primarily. Shot a 650 set last nite, and two weeks ago, on a pair of drying out lanes, I shot my HI for this year, a 275! Love this ball and can't put it down. Thanks Lucky....another winner.
