"Get ready to score with the Brunswick Red Zone. Brunswick engineers have drawn up a new playmaker that offers control and explosive hitting power to tackle the toughest lane conditions. Put the new Red Zone on your team and reach your goal of more consistent scoring.
The Red Zone is an upgrade to the popular Zone Classic. By eliminating the pearl from the Zone Classic and using a solid version of Activator coverstock, backend traction in carrydown is improved. The Red Zone delivers the utility of a highly polished ball with improved ability to handle oil down lane.
Best suited for Medium-dry to Medium-oily lane conditions. The Red Zone retains the popular Activator ball reaction. Clean through the heads but with a early revving type of roll that promotes mid-lane recovery and a powerful but continuous breakpoint."
Utility
•Out of the Box: With its High Gloss Polish finish the Red Zonewill match up well on medium-dry to medium-oily conditions.
•When dulled:The Red Zone hooking action will increase and its arc will become more even, creating a better match-up for oily lane conditions and help blend the over/under reactionsseen on wet/dry lane conditions.

BVP –Brunswick Value Performance –Exceptional Value and Great Performance
The Brunswick BVP™series has been developed to provide the widest range of reactions available at the popular mid-price point. The BVP series provides any bowler the ball performance they’re looking for at a price they can afford.
The BVP Wizard targets one of the most popular reaction niches in the bowling ball industry, Reactive Solid Sanded. This type of ball reaction is embraced by many bowlers as the best all-around combination of coverstock and surface finish.
Providing high hook potential with good pin carry and controllable ball reactions. Aggressive Reactive Coverstock: PowrKoilTM 18 has been on more bowling balls than any other Reactive coverstock in the bowling industry. PowrKoilTM18 has been used some of Brunswick’s most on successful balls including the Danger Zone, Red Alert and BVP Nemesis. Aggressive in the oil and strong off the dry, PowrKoil 18 is a perennial favorite among all styles of bowlers.
800-Grit Wet Sand Finish:The Wizard is finished with an 800-grit wet sand finish which will allow most bowlers to match-up to both freshly oiled and moderately broken down house conditions. Plenty of traction on all but the oiliest lanes combined with a strong backend reaction. Reaction Characteristics•Out of the Box: With its 800-grit wet sand surface, the Wizard matches up well on most medium to oily house conditions.•When dulled:The hooking action will increase and its arc will become more even, creating a better match-up for oily lane conditions and for smoothing over/under reactions seen on wet/dry lane conditions.•When shined: With either Brunswick’s Factory Finish “High Gloss Polishâ€or “Rough Buffâ€,your Wizard will go longer in the oil and react stronger to the dry creating a more skid/snap arc. High Gloss Polish creates more length than Rough Buff. Reaction SetupThe BVP Wizard can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for two-piece balls, see the included drilling instructions for reaction characteristics and layout details. The BVP Wizard is finished with a dull 800-gritsurface which increases its hooking action in the oil. Dull surface finishes can sometimes hook too early resulting in reduced backend reaction and hitting power. To increase length, polish the surface with Brunswick’s Factory Finish Rough Buff. To increase length and create and even more skid/snap reaction use Brunswick’s Factory Finish High Gloss Polish.
