The Red Zone . . cause it does everything right.  Plenty of length, revs up nicely, strong backend, controllable, you name it, the ball does it.  No flaws whatsoever.  If you can't strike at will with this ball, you suck . . seriously.

STRIKE ZONE  ENOUGH SAID...
--------------------
T.J.

BOWLING IS FUN NO MATTER WHAT YOU SCORE. BUT A 300 IS ALWAYS NICE.

STRIKE ZONE & PYRO. STAND 15 AND THROW 10 OUT TO 5 AND SMASH THE POCKET. AT LEAST THAT IS THE PLAN OF THE NIGHT...

I haven;t thrown them all and have heard good things about the Red Zone, but I like the Vapor Zone.  Clears the heads, revs up and smashes the pocket.  This ball stores a lot of energy to anniliate the pins.

It really likes 45 degress of axis rotation it seems, at least for me.

First I'd like to say the only asymetric Zones I have are two Strike Zones, one wet-sanded at 800-grit (OOB) and another polished with Brunswick High Gloss FF (because I heard it is the same as a Red Zone).  I have a hard time not believing that the second Strike Zone reacts EXACTLY like a Red Zone! I've had my first SZ for quite some time now, and I have never seen it do anything but arc... but the second SZ is highly polished, and I have never seen it arc! It is a skid-snap monster, sometimes I think the ball hits a 90-degree angle. Isn't this what the Red Zone does??? I have watched videos for it and it reminds me of how my polished SZ reacts. I have the pin 1 inch above center with CG out about 1 1/2 to 2 inches, a pretty strong drill I believe.

For all intents and purposes, I like my original SZ better than my polished one, simply because I haven't found a condition oily enough to use my polished SZ (RZ). I think I have it drilled too strong... it gets down the lane, but the snap is waaaay too hard, and I haven't seen that much carrydown yet in my new house.

One vote for Strike Zone.
(Since the SZ is for mainly oily lanes, I'm thinking about getting a Vapor Zone for the versatility it will bring, but I have an old Danger Zone for that already)

I've had the Classic, Impulse, Strike, and Vapor.  Of these four my least favorite two would have to be the Strike and the Impulse.  I had them drilled prior to switching pro shops and with very generic drills, they lacked some hitting power.  I go the classic used and although it had a ton of games on it it still reacted great for a while, I would love to get a NIB 16, and I figure that I can find one somewhere as they are not that rare yet, in just being discontinued.  The vapor is the ball that I still carry in my bag.  I don't bowl too much anymore, but if I remember correctly, its around a 4 x 4 drill.  I love to play straighter with this piece due to its early rolling nature.  When I get inside, sometimes it hooks and flattens out, leaving flat tens, but I still really like the ball, and I have other stuff that lets me get deep inside.

I have to confess that although I too think the whole Red Zone thing is crap.  I personally believe that there is a slight difference, but Brunswick hasn't told us what this difference is.  I could see me getting the ball in the future due to the fact that its a great rolling ball.  Of what I have I have to say that the Vapor is the best with the Classic in a close second.
