Title: Vapor zone, I picked one up yesterday (pics)
Post by: _Stroker_Walter_ 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.

Post by: shelley on February 23, 2006, 04:58:43 PM: 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.

Post by: thehurricane on February 23, 2006, 05:33:29 PM: 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.

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.

Post by: MarvinsSkeleton on February 23, 2006, 06:50:09 PM: 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. (http://"http://www.marvinsskeleton.com/bowling.htm")

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.

Post by: wick3d on February 24, 2006, 01:40:51 PM: yeah its possible the white balance is off or the lighting in the room thats facing the camera, ya usually want to be against the light not facing it...notice the shadow in front of the ball instead of behind it generally the flash will put the shadow behind the ball or a tight shadow directly below it the flash usually wont cast such a large shadow...or the ball could be a off color blem?
heres shot of my vapor

I just got the 3rd one recently so maybe the colours have brightened up in production. It dont matter cause the ball is a machine...
