My old Danger Zone was a used gift, I had it plugged and redrilled. This was a 15 pounder with a side hole. I had it finished with the courses grade finish allowed. I seem unable to control a ball with a long or full back swing so I tend to cradle the ball on approach and throw it some distance. This Zone ball was never moving fast down the lane but when it hit, the pins would fly. I sent more pins past the sweeper bar than any one in the league. One time I sent a pin two lanes over and stopped in the far gutter. Some other guys threw hard and you could here it. There ball seemed like is was not on the lane very long. My old zone would rev down the oil and just hook on the dry. I had to throw harder to get more distance when things dry up. Then I found GLIDE ball cream.
