It's NOT the slayr/punisher cover.  It's a zone classic, except the activator cured too quickly and it rates higher on the durometer.  So it goes longer and handles drier conditions than the normal zone classic.

Melvin, I have one.  It is much longer than the original Zone Classic but also more off the dry.  I thought I could use mine for extremely light conditions, but no.  It is a med to light ball at best.  Don't get me wrong, it does push through the heads easier, but really makes up for it on the backend.

I used mine last night in league.  After a very dismal start, 191-207-174, I went outside with an up the back release and shot 224.  

Heres a pic:

Its not that weak...i'd say it is more than average length with more than average backend.  Its more of a medium reaction as far as boards covered.  I drilled mine up this past weak (5x3) and it was quite a surprise.  Anyways, it hits hard and has a nice roll.  Definitely worth the $60 that it costs.

Drill sheet info on the red-pin:
  hook  75
  length  165
  breakpoint shape 70
  Flare potential  .048
  RG-average  2.9
Based on this information, it should fit in between the Punisher (which I have) and the reactive groove (don't have). I do have a red-pin waiting to be drilled. Once done, I will post a review.
