That was a cool video they put together, showing good and bad ball reactions for each ball and how to correct them with surface changes.  Nice touch!

Another nice idea (from the drilling sheet):

"To understand the International Zone Coverstocks better we will be using a 1-10 number scale system after the coverstock name to describe Response Time. Response Time is how fast or slow the ball changes direction when it encounters friction. The Higher the number the Faster the ball will change direction similar to Skid/Snap. The Lower the number the Slower the ball will change direction similar to Smooth Arc."

I always try the Intl release and found that the Red Alert series are better
than the XXX Zone series. Sine no ZC can find, I wish the Comfort Zone can
can bring the ZC back to us. The Red Alert 300 is too skid than the ZC. Hope
the Comfort Zone is same as the ZC. Will post more details about the surface
if i can contact the insider in Big-B Asia Pacific office.

Just contact the insider, he said the PK Traction just like the Activator Max.
The PK Traction is stronger than the PK 24, so this Zone is a low rg version
Scorchin Inferno.

I've got to ask the question of rough buff+polish.  In the video when they adjusted the cover of the first ball, they through on a coat of rough buff finish, followed by a coat of factory shine.  I've personally never done this before and would like to know if anyone else has.  How would that reaction differ from a normal 2000 grit+shine that I normally use?
