They stopped making them for a few years, so i wouldn't say forever, but quite a while with the recent success they've had bringing the name back.

On a side note, yhe Amber (or Black Amber as it was called) and the Red Zone were the first two Zones ever released.

Depends on what you mean... the current line of balls or the barnd itself. The Zone line will surely make it 1 or 2 more years, the way it is. I suppuse we will see a new core generation next, and probably the last Activator covers from the current Inferno balls when Brunswick keeps up its product policy from recent time.

The Zone brand itself will surely linger on the market forever. In the Target Zones the barnd has always been around, and even if the current asymmetrical balls vanish in some time (they surely will), the brand will be back. It is one of Brunswick's market assets.

Funny thing for me is that Brunswick dropped the "Proactive" brand from their particle balls since the Eliminator disappeaed - probably a negative connotation with early-rolling balls that does not go wll with the "flashier" Activator coverstock bases used today? Well, that's marketing... mad world.
