New DZ and XOXO overlap
« on: March 02, 2016, 06:56:52 PM »
How much overlap would there be between the new vintage Danger Zone and the Diva XOXO?

my xoxo is stronger than my zone.  I threw my xoxo on the 46ft players championship pattern where my danger zone never saw the lane.

Thanks bowler838. I was beginning to think was going to get a goose egg on replies to this.

I haven't thrown the XOXO so I could not comment.  I suspect that may the be the case with others, too.   I DO love the Danger Zone on THS.

With the higher RG and pearl coverstock on the Diva XOXO, it would go longer and have a stronger motion on the backend. The Danger Zone has more of an arc type of roll. The Diva XOXO is a stronger ball overall compared to the Danger Zone.

I would agree with Brunswick_Fan.  I have both at 4000 grit and both drilled pin down.  My Danger Zone has a mid lane move and the Diva XOXO saves everything for the backend of the lane.  I get about the same amount of hook from both, but two different looks on the lane

My DZ came pretty shiny out of box and I could definitely see how people may fear overlap.  I have the same layout on both balls and at box was able to line up to the pocket identically with the difference being that the DZ was a little rollier in the mids and softer off the back than the XOXO.  I personally expected to see the DZ pick up a little sooner, so I took it down to 3k to create greater variance and am much happier with my reaction.
