Title: Red/strike zone and UI
Post by: agroves on October 20, 2006, 06:38:22 AM

Luckily, I'm not impulse buying huh?  Still trying to decide what I want.  I have an UI, but I'm lookin at a Red Zone.  Then it dawns on me, hey they are the same cover.  Cover dictates, 60% of reaction(overall), how difference could there be?

I had the AI and I have the Vap.  I love the Vap, the AI was okay, it didn't stick around long.  What I'm after is a STRONG assy, solid resin.  

So, lets compare the strike/red zone and the UI.....

Red Zone is longer and angular then a Strike with the same surface. Probably due to the new machines and/or different colors.

My Strike Zone polished = Red Zone.  Goes long and flips HARD.

Anyhow, you can't go wrong with a Red Zone based on everyone's reviews thus far.  But in my opinion the UI was a weaker ball than the Strike Zone, even though the UI had great success, the Strike Zone by many was overlooked.

So I'll put my vote in for a Strike Zone, both of mine just flat out hit hard!  And don't forget you can polish it for more skid-flip.

So what does that mean?  To me that would mean the Strike Zone polished with Activator cover would be stronger on the backend than the Red Zone with Activator w/more urethane.

If so, then I can vouch for the SZ being uncontrollably too strong when polished like the RZ. (that's why I took it back down to 800-grit)
