My bet would also be on a particle Zone. According to MoRich rumors there is a particle pearl ball coming soon, and with the lack of particle equipment in the higher performnace ranks of the Brunswick assortment, this would make some sense to me. Probably a 2 color ball?
Additionally, there would be space for a lighter condition Zone ball. But with the Punisher, the Smokin' Inferno and the Radical Inferno around, the only selling point would be the core, not a true gap it might fill. Bad chances, I'd say, unless the Smokin' is discontinued to open the space. Then, the Activator Advance would become "available" to the Zone line. That one, with the higher RG core from the Impulse Zone...?
I do not think that we will see Activator Maxx too soon on a Zone ball, as well as Octane. BTW, it could be that the Octane formulation is limited to a pearl material. From its characteristics on the lane, I think a solid version would not work very well as an oil option. IMHO, this "role" is filled by the Activator Maxx material.
Let's wait and see.
