First of all, its about what the customer/consumer wants. They want the name Zone on a ball, and they want a asymmetrical core like other companies in a Brunswick ball. Its amazing how many people still walk into the shop and ask for a Zone.(not knowing that there are many Zone's) As far as marketing goes, its a great move.
The Time Zone itself is a great ball. You would think with the Powerkoil 18 cover, that this ball would be a flippy. Not so, as a matter of fact, its the smoothest ball off of its reaction ive ever thrown. Both of mine, recover nicely, especially when the backends are fresh. During recent tourny's, the backends have been crisp, creating over under for people throwing polished or pearl balls, ive been using my Time Zone's in this situation because they dont overreact off the dry. I can play 7 to 10 boards right of everyone else, until they carry down, in which case im 7 to 10 boards left of everyone else with my Raging Inferno's. Great additions to the line, and thankfully to my bag. Email me with any questons. Greg Scallan-Brunswick amatuer staff
