The Vapor Zone and the Absolute Inferno are the best bowling balls ever created by man.

I love my VZ and will get another one before they stop making them.

Mines polished with rough buff a bit more than factory at this point.  Goes long and snaps back, but is controllable.

What a ball!

The Vapor is simply one of the best I've ever thrown.  Put it in the Revivor, slight resurfacing, and let it hit. I do leave mine kind of dull.  Good luck.

Out of 1200 balls i have drilled it is my favorite overall ball of all time. Horizon solid ranks up there as does any legends/lane masters balls, the vz reminds me of the c2 cherry pearl i used to love.

The Vapor Zone has to be one of the best balls on the market right now. It's my first ball out of the bag. I have mine drilled with a 5-1/2" pin and MB @ 45 no x-hole and it's exactly what i like to see from a ball reaction. Reads the midlane great and doesn't transition too fast off the dry. The only thing that i don't like to much about the ball is that the coverstock absorbes oil like crazy and i have to bake it every two weeks or it will just slide to long.

Maybe it doesn't roll well for you because you don't know how to drill a ball well?  An asymmetric one no less?

Mines perfect and versatile.  I've never owned a ball I loved more than my VZ.

But what do I know about what I like?

About a year ago a friend of mine went to a PBA event. He said that all the Brunswick guys seemed to have 3 or 4 of them (drilled differently, of course).
That should say something about the ball...

There isn't a ball that's going to be great for everyone because we're all different. I have yet to drill one that the customer hasn't LOVED.

im with watcher...i didn't like it much so i sold it...and best ball of all time?...come on now...theres way more better balls out there...i guess its easier to say that tho when you drill up a new ball every month...personally the strike zone/red zone/classic zone are the top 3 asymmetric zone balls.
--------------------
For me...bowling a 300 is like winning a jackpot...it never happens!!

It's all opinion I guess.

But the VZ and Absolute Inferno are my favorites of all time.  I probably don't drill up as many balls as you though.

I feel no shame in calling it the best abll ever.  In my opinion anyways.

When I bowl sweepers or whatever I see no Vapor Zones. People in this area hate it, and it has nothing to do with who drilled it. I have never personally drilled one up, and I am not going to. The fact that Brunswick staffers have 2 or 3 of them is actually NOT an indicator at all of how good the ball is, those guys only throw big B and have a much more limited choice than we do.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, so you think it's a bad ball, but you've never drilled one up... So, Duke Harding, maybe you should really value this opinion...

Around here every single bowler has one when we bowl in sweepers.  It's weird.  You just VZ's rolling down the lane everywhere.  Every single person has one.  Amazing.

OK.
I found out through this post that, some places everyone bowls ONLY with the VZ....
Because it's the best ball on earth.

Other places, no one uses the VZ, because it sucks.

Sounds like a Lane #1 clone...
except it doesn't cost $300.  

Funny there's no "in between."

It was obviously sarcasm.  C'mon, honestly.  Do I really need to explain myself on that one?  Really every bowler had one?  That sounds serious to you?
