Time Zone - question for la Nacion.
« on: April 22, 2005, 11:23:46 PM »
I'm thinking about getting a Time Zone for medium-dry lanes. Just wondered what the Nation guys have to say about this ball. Also how it compares to the Classic Zone and Absolute. I know its generally for less oil than both and is a much higher RG but just wanted thoughts on this.

Also, might there be any plans for a PK 18 ball with the Inferno low RG core anytime soon?

Looking for a little more punch than a Punisher. Thanks for reading though.

Well nemesis and punisher have same core and both deliver quite a punch!

Punisher on medium lighter oil and Nemesis on heavier oil volumes.

The Time Zone for me was very archy but I drilled 3 3/8 X mass bias out.

Was playable on medium conditions.

I've seen Time zones with mass bias near thumb deliver a heck of a flip and wallop.

Not for lighter oil really

REgards,

I would say that the Time Zone is not going to be very good for drying lanes unless you have rocket speed, no hand or drill it very weak. It's not a hook monster by any means, but it's a solid medium condition reactive. I would look into a punisher or something in the Groove line if you want something for medium-dry. The new Groove Dry/R might be a good choice.

  • Don't blame the lanes, blame the bowler! Adjust!

I have a time zone and I love it . Mine is drilled strong . Mb near thumb , this ball hooks . I bowl on synthetic , I am a high track . I have thrown my time zone when the heads have dried up , standing on 25 swinging out to 10 and coming back hard . Take my advise and get the ball and play with it . If it doesn't react the way you want , take it back to your driller and make some adjustment to the ball . My 2  cents worth .
