You are comparing apples and oranges here....

..but in my opinion, a twisted fury would do the trick.

I'd guess either a Vapor Zone or Red Zone with some of the polish taken off.

I would think that (given both balls are box finish) the Blast Zone would move much sooner than a BW.  You may want to look at the BVP Wizard, that ball would seem to stack up well when compared to a BW IMHO.

While the Red Zone may be closest, it is still not close.  If you want something that reacts like a BW, why not just get a BW?

Why not just buy a Black Widow???

I've had two Vapor Zones, not a Red Zone though. I haven't found any ball that compares to my Black Widow.

Mine is very angular, and a sharp breakpoint. I haven't had a reaction like that from my Big B stuff I've had.
