1) I threw the Red Zone today in comparison to my Vapor Zone. The RZ is drilled with pin above bridge, small cg kick right, psa strongly positioned vs the VZ which is drilled pin over ring, cg kick, psa further right. In my hands the RZ was about 2 feet earlier with polish and a further pin to pap distance than the VZ with a shorter pin to par distance and rough buf surface. As far as backend the VZ still wins out, but the RZ is way earlier than I though it would be and the hook shape is much sharper than I thought it would be. The Stike Zone drilled the same with the same surface would be just about as early but I think the hook shape would be more rounded or should I say rolly? The SZ and RZ are different but from what I saw not so different that the reaction cant be changed by surface adjustments. Even still the differences are going to be subtle at best provided they both have the same surface. This isnt a review by any means, but initial thoughts.
2) It would go good. The Punisher is way longer the VZ, but much sharper off the break point, consider knocking the polish off or drilling it pin down. Its nowhere near as readable as VZ. The VZ is one hell of a ball.
