Title: Vintage Danger Zone vs Vintage LT-48
Post by: Geetaan on August 03, 2016, 07:18:52 PM
I purchased both the Vintage Danger Zone and the Vintage LT-48, and was wondering what I should expect. Which is stronger?

For the conditions I see the Danger Zone is a little stronger late, while my LT-48 was smooth city...

I see mine the opposite way with the DZ being very rolly, taking well to a little scuff and being most effective on fresher patterns.
My LT48's have all given me effortless length through the heads with a strong, yet rounded move off the backend.  A great ball to have in the bag once you need to chase left as the lanes get dry

I agree that the Vintage Danger Zone will handle a little more oil, and will have a stronger midlane roll compared to the Vintage LT-48.

My Zone tend to get into a roll faster than the LT-48. I love both but I would say the Danger Zone would be first out of the back. Then when it start to labor a bit I would go to LT-48. Also I would ensure to keep the LT cover 2k or below to make sure you get the extra length you need and allow the ball to retain some energy a bit to finish in the back.

Agree. The DZ is surprisingly "smooth" and very rolly.  The first "Vintage" ball that actually rolls like the original.  Very impressed with the DZ.

The LT48 is very clean but still relatively smooth downlane.  Great to chase left when the track blows up.

After rolling both, I have to agree with your guys opinions on both bowling balls. My new favorite ball is the LT-48 it is so smooth, I dont think Ive ever thrown a ball that is so smooth and predictable

Smooth is NOT the word I think of for my Lt 48 pin up!  Pin up so much so that the pin buffer is 1.5

Of course I am a lefty on an extreme wet Dry!  The explosiveness of this pin up drilling in box condition (polished)is quite amazing.

I had another one that was duller and it was smoother by a considerable amount!

I have talked to a staffer and he informed me the LT 48 Vintage was very subject to pin up/pin down drillings, in that pin up made the ball jumpy and pin down seem to dramatically smooth reaction.(maybe too little quickly).  Same as the Gold Vintage Rhino.

I have seen the Danger Zone thrown in this same wet dry house on the right(much more blended out) Pin up and polished!  It looks big on the back and strong in the mids!
