Zr40?
« on: April 06, 2006, 07:00:01 PM »
Does anyone throw a ZR40? What do y'all think of it?

A little boy looked up at me once and said "So you must be The Striking King."  Coolest thing I've been told!
I'm pretty positive I'll shoot 300... just not sure when.

oh there are a few of us....

Probably DT's best Jack-of-all-trades ball.  Won't work well on really Heavy oilor really light/scorched conditions, but will definitely perform well on everything in between. Mine is a great ball for clean backends, and will work with some carrydown as well if you have some hand and can get entry angle.

I'm guessing your other balls won't get much time out of the bag.

Yeah. You know, I had a guy in Jackson county. He had a little drum circle in his backyard. It turned into a drum circle four miles in diameter. You get a few hippies playing drums and next thing you know, you got yourself a colony.

IMO, probabaly the best all round ball D/T has produced, a ball every bowler should have in their bag. A great control ball.

Yes, it is a very nice ball.  I have two of them and want another.  I'm thinking of building an arsenal around that ball and the Vendetta Black, of which I just ordered another.  Hard to beat these two.

Been somewhat disappointed in mine. It's a very controllable ball, easy to get to the pocket, but the carry is not there.
The Zr40 is a solid ball, don't get me wrong, but it's not a spectacular ball.
I've tried with and without weighthole and with a coverstock change, but hasn't really improved IMO. I just bought The ONE and it matches up much better to what I want and the carry is phenomenal. To each his own.... for some like Jim E. the Zr40 is amazing, for others, like me it's just another ball. Probably going to be selling mine soon.... =(

Needs Revs or entry angle to carry spectacularly I would agree.

It tends to leave tens moreso than my other balls if I forget this fact.
