Similar ball to Zone Classic
« on: December 03, 2009, 10:11:51 AM »
Hi everybody,

I was a pretty good bowler a few years ago when I was in high school (300 high game, 765 high series).  By the time I graduated I was burned out.  Since then I have only bowled a handful of times.  I'm going to graduate college at the end of the year, and the itch has come back.  I plan on joining a summer league when I graduate (my college town has a bowling alley but no leagues, not enough interest).  I joined intramural bowling at school next quarter to get my form back .

My arsenal looks like this:
Med Heavy - Absolute Inferno
Med - Zone Classic
Med Light - Punisher
Light - Very old, dead AMF Fusion Hook Monster. (Odd, but very effective)

I throw (or at least threw) 18-19 MPH with plenty of revs.

Heres where the question comes in.  My Zone Classic has a ton of games on it and really is much better suited for Med Light these days, which is fine because I never really liked my punisher anyway.  The Zone Classic was my first ball out, and I need a replacement.  I want to get it relatively soon so I can practice with it before I join a league.  Is there anything that rolls similar to the Zone Classic?

you should check into the rattler. same coverstock but a different core, should be right there with the ZC with maybe a little more pop on the backend.

Wild Fire - An overseas release..

Seems to be a bit longer than the Zone Classic.. But still has pretty much the same shape downlane..

Why not just take your Classic to the pro shop , have them pop it in the rejuvenator then resurface it. You should get back to at least 90% of its original reaction.

It's a 1-2", but not a red pin or a funky color green pin.

I think I have a 16 NIB with a decent pin available.  Make me an offer.
