okay first of all i would like a bowl that can handle oilly lanes as the ball that i am currently useing which is a BVP Wizard doesnt handel to well in oilly lanes the last 2 weeks i have bowled a 491 and a 464 but the previous 3 weeks prior were 570, 550 and a 621 That was becuase the lanes where dry the last 2 weeks have not and i want a bowl that can handel those conditions, my rev rate aint that much most likely 50 revs or something and my speed is around 25km, the line that i am plying atm is 10 board but a guy who works at the centre who has an average of 196 has told me to try on the 5th board since i have a dryer ball but i prefer to go down 10-15 dont ask me how my ball is drilled or how i want it drilled as i have no idea that is for the pro shop to do but i would like a ball that can handel heavier lane conditions and he told me about the bounty only becuase he bowls for 900 global but since i did some resarch i saw the maxxx zone and from what i have hered and been told by somebody on these forums the maxx zone is very good and handles well with medium conditions abd is better suited for low rev bowlers

Lycan. I can tell you this I don't think max zone would be good 4 you. Yes its a medium heavy oil ball but at 600 grit don't see how low rev bowler will be able 2 use. I would say strong pearl or pearl particle would probly be better. Even try surface adjustments 2 wizard. Just hard 2 say without seeing you bowl

Not to argue with you, but I've actually thrown the Maxxx Zone and it's cleaner through the heads than you'd expect. Besides, there's nothing to prohibit someone from adjusting the surface to 2000 or 4000 if necessary.

Notclay.  I understand what ur saying but point I was making was why go out spend more money for a new ball.  My suggestion is 2 play with surface of his wizard b4 buying new ball.

ucumin2,

No problem with adjusting the surface on the Wizard either. I love my PK18 coverstock Copperhead, and before that the Wizard. The new Plazma cover on the Maxxx should prove to be very different, in a good way. Only time will tell...

At 2000 or 4000 it will go a bit longer before it turns LEFT. If you purchase one, my advice is to lay it out for the reaction shape you're looking for, then adjust the surface if needed for carry.
