I've thrown the Nemesis in box condition. Yeah, it's strong, but it doesn't burn as much in front as you might expect. However, even in box condition, the Nemesis is still more angular than any Bruiser that I've thrown. Two really different reactions there...at least for me.
I've also thrown the Goliath in box condition, and have been *very* surprised. The first time I threw the Goliath, I expected it to hook at the foul line. Instead, I got a nice float through the front, and a smooth, almost urethane-like reaction in the midlane and in back. I liked the reaction so much that I left it in box condition, and now I use it to tame down wet-dry conditions (which I see almost every week in league).
However, what I remember most about the Sapphire is its smooth transition in the midlane. IME the current Brunswick ball that has a shape that is closest to that of the Sapphire Zone is the original Inferno. For me, the ZC is a bit pushier in front, but a lot sharper at the break.
