Vapor Zone what conditions is it for
« on: September 25, 2007, 11:33:04 PM »
Just wanted to see how you guys like the vapor zone and what conditions it best on?  Is this ball for medium oil, light oil or what?  And what type of reaction do you get out of it?  I was looking at the Vapor Zone and the Lane 1 Pearl Cobalt any thoughts

Medium oil. Very versatile with strong, but not snappy back end movement.

GREAT BALL!!!

vapor zone is probably the best (IMO) and most versitile ball made in the last few years.  REALLLLLLY shined up you can go to light oil, its awesome on mediums and works well when dulled up on heavy (for me).  If I were looking at those 2 options, the vapor would be my choice far and away, nothing against the cobalt, but its not as consistant and I don't feel that its as good overall. Thats my thoughts YMMV. I had a VAL layout on the ball, got good length, while reving early, and then snapped back pretty hard.

After the reviews and positive feedback about the vapor zone being versatile, I think I'm gonna pick one up before league on Thursday, especially since I don't have a versatile, medium ball. Any suggestions for drillings? I've got Stroker Revs and Faster tan usual speed.

I've thrown a Vapor, but not a Cobalt.  However, from what I've seen, the Vapor and Cobalt would make a pretty good two-ball combination, with the Vapor handling oilier mediums, and the Cobalt the drier mediums.

Depending on the surface this ball can go from light Oil to Med-heavy.  

It is an excellent ball.

I LOVE this ball.

I quote Brunswick:-
 
•Out of the box:The Vapor Zone is an ideal ball more medium-dry to all but the oiliest lane conditions.
•When shined:Using Brunswick’s Factory Finish High Gloss Polish the total hooking action of the Vapor Zone can be reduced and the arc made more skid/snap.
•When dulled:The Vapor Zone’s hooking action will increase providing a better match-up for oily lane conditions.

OOB it makes an excellent benchmark ball, too.

When my finances will allow I will be getting another two of these to stash away for future use.

Picked one up off the used ball rack last week for a great price!

1st series with it (oob finish): 727.

Best series in quite a while; my physical and mental games had been improving lately - the Vapor Zone certainly helped with the mental game!
