Title: Calling Brunswick experts: Zone Classic vs Inferno vs Uranium Preal
Post by: CharlieBrown on December 09, 2004, 10:38:15 AM

If it is true that as much as 60% of ball reaction is determined by coverstock, then why would I want to spend extra money on an Inferno or Uranium Buzzsaw Preal?

I have checked out the Brunswick site, and the charts for Inferno and Zone Classic are very similar, in terms of Hook Potential, length, Breakpoint shape, flare potential and RG.

So, compare with the Inferno core and Uranium's diamond core what is the advantage of the Zone Classic’s asymmetric core then?


What's the difference in terms of hitting power, forgiveness, and reaction types?

Many thanks!!!

I don't know much about the buzzsaw, but I have both the inferno and classic.  The Classic i got to take the place of my inferno.  It does the job well, but isn't the same by any means.  I think the core of the classic is so versatile that you can make it very different from the inferno.  Based on my drillings, my inferno was a bit smoother on the backend, that is the main difference.  The Classic is more of a hook stop reaction, in that after it hit the turn it gets into that hard roll almost immediately.  But the classic is so versatile for me that if i get around it with more tilt, it will be "rollier" than my inferno.  I love having such versatility.  I'm sure N_Smith will be able to help you out more, but if any more questions that i might be able to answer feel free to ask.

The Inferno is a little stronger in the mid-lane it seems, and the classic revs up very fast at the breakpoint, the classic seems just a touch more angluar, but yet still being arcy.

Thanks Bob, great reply.  And thanks UCFKnight300 and The Dude.

I've had my Inferno for almost a year now, and have been very happy with it.

I've just ordered a Zone Classic and a Uranium pearl, mmmmmmmmmm, let's see what happen.
