Had one of these for about a year and a half.. the core had cracked and it had belt marks on it, but it was still a favorite.. then i found a brand new one.. for 75 bucks. This ball is everything i remember it to be. strong. hits hard. gets long. carry is amazing with this ball, and that sharp distinct motion to the pocket is what i love about this ball.. they should re-release it.

HELLO
I have a command....i find it a real sweet ball with plenty of hook on it...i rev the ball over 3rd arrow and stand around 15-20 boards from right depends on oil....but in the last 2-3 weeks it has been reving up but not turning very well and i hav videod myself and my other people from my ybc have been there and it is reving perfectly and ma release is pretty smooth but it just wont turn as much as it before.....has anybody got any suggestions let me know....plzzz...if there is any different ball you recomend me to get plz tell me i like a ball that turns a bit but not to much i like to work it and that realy drives into the pocket

thank you JOE

brilliant ball hits the pocket like a train bowled five 299s & a 300 with this ball

Review #3 (albeit nine years later!)

I was fortunate enough to find a lefty-drilled, fifteen-pound Command Zone on the house rack at my local center.  The coverstock had one major nick in its hide, but after a good resurfacing and finishing (4000 Abralon and polished by hand), this ten-year-old relic looked good as new.

I have never used a negative-weighted ball before.  I decided not to plug the holes the pin was over lefty middle finger (ring finger for righty), and the CG was 3/4" left of grip center with no X-hole.  This setup enables the ball to roll early with an arcing backend motion.

At first, I was not impressed with what I saw.  In its 1999 heyday, the Command Zone was the highest skid-snap ball Brunswick ever made, and initially, that was the reaction I was getting today in 2009.  After feeling out the ball and increasing my speed on the approach, the Command Zone was pure gold!  On the open shot with broken heads, I could hug the middle without the snap of which this particular Zone is known.  In my final game of league play, I rolled 279, as a 4-pin in the eighth frame (due to laying off the speed and snapping a bit high) cost me a perfecto!

I have now used three different Command Zones over the years:  one label leverage, one pin-up positive, and one pin-up negative.  I guess you could say that I have taken good command of this Zone!
