Some Dry Zones (pearl and solid) are around here. The pearl goes very long and is a smooth piece, but definitely stronger than the AvP, due to the Activator cover.
The DZS is a different thing. While it is called "Dry", it is much more of a control piece, a little like MoRich's Solid LevRG. Take a solid reactive cover that handles a good amount of oil, add a sheen finish and a low flare core, and you have a very good piece for spotty lanes on medium-dry to medium-oily conditions. Great choice if you are a down-and-in player or rev-challenged. But definitively no true dry lane ball... IMO, the DZS is even stronger than the AvS, in every aspect.
