Vapor zone
« on: June 19, 2006, 01:00:57 PM »
Hi I am asking this for a friend who intend to get a vapor zone. Any comment on this ball ? Is it good ? Can it be used on medium to dry condition ? Thanks...

Medium yes.  Lighter than that and I think you'd have to put a weak drill on it or ditch the Rough Buff in favor of a higher-grit polish to get it to react properly.  Kinda defeats the purpose of of the ball.  They need a weak pearl in the Zone line for that type of condition, and it would be quite unique among strong asymmetrics.

Sorry think my explaination not too clear. We are in the same league team and the lane oil condition is above medium or slightly more..so what we are actually asking is can this ball be used for the entire 4 games league and maybe another 3 games after that ? Cause my friend don't drive and will be difficult for him to bring too many balls to a league. thanks

Also heard that a polished sorchin inferno will react the same as VZ ?

I've heard nothing but positive about this ball, both on this BR site as well as locally in two of the houses I bowl in.

The Vapor is probably the best ball released this year outside the One series from Ebonite.  This could very well be one of the best cover/core combinations to come out in a long time.  It is not recommended to be used on drier conditions.  However, if you are hand challenged and throw it hard, it can be used on drier conditions, though it was nor designed for that purpose.
