Vapor zone, I picked one up yesterday (pics)
« on: February 23, 2006, 08:45:22 AM »
I got a 16# vapor zone yesterday with a 1 3/4 inch pin out. Only threw 7 games with it. This ball is strong and has lots of midlane. Its definately giving me more confidence than my SI has been. This ball lets me throw faster and hit the pocket very hard. I have some pics included here.

Is it really purple?  All the VZs I've seen on TV are blue.

It looks unlike every other VZ I've seen (admittedly, only on TV and brunswickinsiders.com).  The pics look purple and silver rather than purple and blue.  In the ones I've seen, the blue is by far the dominant color.  If it really looks like the pictures you posted, it's a very good looking ball.

It could be cuz the pros are reving the hell out of the ball. It just looks like one solid color at high speed.

That's definitely not like any VZ I've seen, and I've seen several in person. It looks like a Morich Sahara color scheme.

That's like the one's i've seen. blue and bluish green. The one you have is purple and greyish blue.

My Vapor Zone is totally a different color than this one. My is colored like the VZ in the Brunswick Ball Reviews.

Its hard to play with an inferno and not get burned. Last time I threw my inferno, the opposing bowler definitely got burned.

No, I don't think that's it.  They don't all do that, and I'm also referring to the pics on Insiders.  Seems most everyone here agrees it's not quite the standard color scheme and is indeed a very good-looking ball.

Great looking ball.

I picked one up Monday and only threw a couple games with it, but I second everything you said.  I have tons of confidence in this ball, and the midlane is incredible.

Pics of mine can be found on my bowling page.

I actually dropped off an old NIB Control Zone (one of my favorite balls I used to own) to be drilled last Wednesday night.  It was stolen out of the pro shop, and my driller, Ron Williams at DC Cityview in Fort Worth, TX, replaced it with my choice of a Strike Zone, Classic Zone or Vapor Zone.  I chose the Vapor since he had a 16 in stock.  Very impressed with the ball.
