The Strike Zone brings the popular reaction of the Ultimate Inferno to the Zone Asymmetric line. The Strike Zone combines the same 800-grit Activator solid coverstock used on the Ultimate Inferno with the Ultra-Low-RG Asymmetrical core system from the Zone Classic. This core/coverstock combination produces an Ultimate Inferno like ball reaction with the drilling options of an asymmetrical core.
In the front-ends: The Activator coverstock is clean through the fronts, saving more reaction for the back-ends. This provides improved hitting power and back-end recovery while reducing sensitivity to breakdown in front-end lane conditions and lane surfaces that are less than ideal.
In the mid-lane:The Ultra-Low RG core provides strong mid-lane recovery while the Activator coverstock provides improved traction in the oil with a smoother, more effective reaction off the dry. This combination reduces over/under reaction by making the wet play less wet and the dry, less dry, effectively allowing the bowler to create more area.
On the back-ends: The Activator coverstock is powerful and continuous from the breakpoint through the pins. Improved traction in the oil allows the Strike Zone to bite through the carry down and aggressively change direction without breaking loose from the lane. The strong rolling characteristics of the Ultra-Low RG core make this move more readable allowing the bowler to open up the lane.
Reaction Characteristics
Out of the box:The Strike Zone is an ideal heavy oil ball for players wanting to use a Reactive coverstock.
When shined:Using Brunswick’s Factory Finish “Rough Buff†or “High Gloss Polishâ€the total hooking action of the Strike Zone can be reduced and the arc made more skid/snap.

I wanted a ball for longer patterns, heavy oil, regionals really. The Ultimate Inferno has been too much ball in the past.
I used one of Denny Torgerson's layout ideas talked about in Bowling This Month.
I put the pin above my ring finger, which is 4 1/2 inches from my PAP. The MB/PSA marker is at a 135 degree position, or about 2 inches above/left of my thumb hole. Because of the low top weight and the CG being out of line, I was able to drill this ball without using an extra hole.
This ball rolls absolutely awesome! Very smooth through the front, which should be expected with fresh/heavy oil. When the ball finds the dry it does not jump, very smooth reaction. The layout is designed to created hold in the middle of the lane, when there isn't very much.
When I miss the ball a little and am left of target, the ball does exactly that. I have plenty of back end when I miss a little right on the house shot, the ball just has nice smooth, hard arc through the pins. Not the sharp break point like the Smokin Inferno. The pin carry is very good, the more I throw the ball, the better it seems to carry.
I think straight players will use this ball with factory finish and drilled strong. Definitely smoother through the front, without the rev up motion of the Ultimate Inferno. Straighties might still like the Ultimate better.
Tweeners will love this ball, I think still drilled pretty strong. Pin around 4 to 4 1/2 inches from PAP and adjust the surface as needed. This ball shines up very well, and is very versatile.
Crankers/big hook/twister guys will probably only use this ball on soup, unless you have a lot of ball speed. Shiny it could be a benchmark ball for guys with good speed.
I have drilled a few others for customers, and just like the Zone Classic, this ball rolls great! Almost impossible to drill this ball wrong with the correct surface adjustments.
I want 2-3 more of these!!! Great ball at a slightly less price point than the big dollar balls.
Good luck, hope this helps ya!!!

I threw three games right out of the box with it today, and there was carrydown present. The ball rolled real nice, and splattered the pins around. I played various lines, and found the ball would not squirt in oil, but really arced hard off the drier areas of the lane. The hit is very impressive. I am going to try it in league tonight, and see what happens...I'm thinking it will be too much ball for me on a wet/dry condition, but I can test it in practice. I bought this ball to replace my Full Throttle, which was my main "oil" ball that I sold to a friend.
Update- just as I thought, it is too much ball for my Thursday scratch league. Tried it in practice, and I could have probably used it, but by the end of game #2, I would have had to switch. This house has a lot of backend, so this piece isn't needed. I'm happy though, I've found a "oil ball" for sure.

Pin under fingers about 4.25" from PAP for me, CG out, no weight hole, Locator pin/MB about 2 inches past thumb on the strong side.
The ball comes 800, try this surface before shining or sanding it. For me with this layout, the Strike Zone gets into a nice early roll, starts to read the mid lane and has a nice smooth/strong/controllable arc back toward the pocket, cutting right through the head oil and carrydown without wavering. The Strike Zone gives a nice little mass bias influenced kick at the end of it's path. In other reviews I have avoided the phrase "hits hard", but this ball does...power at the pins that makes the ball act and sound like it is 20 pounds, driving through the pins. The Strike Zone just seems to pound the pins. If there is not enough oil overall, or the head oil disappears, you will not be able to use this ball, as it will burn up early.
For those of you (like me) that loved the original Danger Zone on the oil of it's heyday, the Strike Zone is similar to it on today's heavier oil. A little earlier, smoother and rollier (lower RG), and overall stronger (due to the assymetric core). Since many people have shined up the Ultimate, I would imagine the cover will shine up nice if you want to make it a medium condition ball. Thanks to BrunsRicH for his input!

Drilled with the PSA at a 65 degree angle with the pin under the middle finger. This left the ball with close to 3/4 pos side so I didn't put a weight hole in the ball saving that for future tweaking options.
I have rolled this on a couple of different conditions, one being a 38 foot house pattern on Anvil Lane Pro. I left the ball in box condition and on this shot it might be too much. I was able to find a good shot by getting very far left and picking up my speed and swinging the ball from about 23-9. The ball hits very hard but to throw it on this condition regularly, I would need to take the dullness off the ball.
I have thrown this on a couple of longer sport shots(42-44 feet) and the ball reads the pattern just fine in the box condition. This is what I had hoped to lay it out for initially but the proposed sport league that I was signed up for didn't materialize. I think the zone classic core gives many more tweaking options for the ball.

Brunswick Strike Zone:
Ball Specs
The ball being drilled was a 2†pin out with 3.00 oz top weight.
Drilling: Pin 4 1/2" from PAP and Mb 45 degree angle or 3 3/8 from my pap with small riser pin. Pin is Above Ring finger, 3" above grip midline. No weight Hole. Factory Sanded
Bowler Information:
Track diameter is 10 1/2.
PAP is measured at 5 1/4 over and 3/8" up.
Average ball speed (foul line to head pin) is 17 mph.
Axis rotation is typically 90 degrees
Initial rev rate is typically 300 rpm, "Tweener"
Lane Condition and Pattern:
AMF Bowlero, HPL 9000 Panel. Oil Pattern: Medium Heavy Oil and slightly clean back ends. Fairly Flat condition from edge board to edge board.
REVIEW:
One of the best coverstock weight block combinations out there right now. Talk about pushing all the right buttons. This ball has it all. Predictability, Power, Versatility, and just a great ball roll. Spins up quick off the hand alot like the Black Danger Zone's. One ball you can have many of drilled differently for different breakpoints and still know where it is going. I have tried it on HPL Panels and wood and the ball adapts extremely well to both. The Ultimate Inferno coverstock proven to hold up longer in reaction than older technology coverstock makes this ball a sure winner. If you want a ball to roll smooth down the lane but have the ability to create back end when needed this is the ball. Great Job Brunswick.

drilled to hook in heavy oil, and that it does. Roolls out a little bit late, do to the drilling, but i like it like that. can use it for med, but its a bit to jumpy. overall, id say that its a great ball to own.

The pin is below ring finger, with cg a hair right below, 2". Finish is out of box/factory.
This is probably the easiest to control of any of the balls I have. It is forgiving, and hits like a truck. In heavy oil, you can bump 5 or 10 boards right, and shoot straight down 10, or if it is a little drier, you can play in the middle, and it will come back with no problem.
Overall a good ball, I will not leave it at home.

I had the ball surface tamed a bit to bowl on wood lanes 2nd shift league.
I really like the control I have with this ball. I can play from the right in heavy oil and move deeper when it's drier. Ball gives a very predictable reaction and doesn't get too jumpy unless the backs are really dry. The ball hits with authority and really knocks the ten pin around.
Overall I'd say this is a great ball for those who like a predictable reaction with a good strong roll and hitting power to spare. It's my first ball out of the bag.
Post by: switch44 on March 17, 2006, 01:27:13 PM
The ball has not let me down. It hits like a train after it makes the smoothest transition from the fronts to the backend. I wouldnt attempt to throw it on dry lanes but if u play in lots of oil, this is the ball!

Post by: Fatboy8 on March 27, 2006, 10:59:42 AM
PAP: not sure (right hand)
Layout: Pin right next to ring finger, cg stacked
Pin distance: 3" pin
Style: medium revs/stroker
Ball Speed: 16.5 mph
Lane Condition: Heavy oil- wooden and synthetic lanes/THS wooden lanes
This is by far one of the most versitile balls I've ever owned. I've changed the surface 3 times, and had much success with each one. Here's the breakdown of each surface:
400 grit wet sand- I wanted this to be a heavy oiler. The test on this was a heavy oiled shot on synthetic lanes. The SZ held it's line, and made a great turn to the pocket. The carry is awesome, and creates alot of pin action. Once the shot gets a little broken down it's time to put it away, due to it's burning up.
Polished/shined- I was wanting this surface to be more of a THS, but playing a little straighter. Shined up, this thing is a beast also. It makes a great move, and is really consistent. You can play alot of angles with it in this condition, and have alot of room on the lanes. It's almost worth buying another, same drilling as my 800 grit, but shined up.
800 grit wet sand- This is where I currently use my Strike Zone. This surface suits me better with how it fits in my line up. This surface on a THS works unbelievably well. I can make minimal adjustments, and can get at least two games out of it, if not three for the night. It's predictable line, great carry, and pin action is unmatched. This ball is in the same condition and set up the same way that my Ultimate Inferno was. The UI was a great ball, and this one is even better.

Second place is first loser.

pin: 4.5" from PAP, CG: 2" from grip center
Style: Tweener (I think, axis of rotation pointed towards the 7 pin, for lefties)going at about 150rpms going at 12mph.
Drilled by: Rich Moores, Players Corner. Aurora, Illinois
Bought this ball to compliment my Smokin Inferno, and I am totally satisfied. Tried it on the lanes with the OOTB coverstock and found that it went to short (i could've thrown harder, but I would lose control). Shined it up to a Rough buff and got the reaction I wanted. this ball recovers extremely well. Especially on shots that I know the inferno would gutter, the recovery into the pocket is amazing. I drop it 20 boards from the left towards the 3 arrow. The breakpoint is about 50 feet from the foul line on the 5 board. The hook potential on this ball is HUGE!!(second for all brunswick products I think, behind the scorchin')
I would totally recommend this ball for heavy oil players. Its smooth reaction bodes better than sanding down a ball meant for a skid-snap reaction.
Post by: tom_288 on May 16, 2006, 05:10:44 PM
This is the best ball ever!!
It has got an amazing hook potential considering how late the backend is. It does not matter how oily/dry the lanes are, it will always have the same breakpoint. It is the easiest ball to use for control. (I've gone through alot of balls considering ive only been bowling for 2 years - 6 balls, and this is the best yet)
Using this ball, I have been able to hit some of the highest scores in my bowling centre. My most recent being a 288, which is the second highest that has been bowled in the centre (not bad for a 13 year old)
I hope Brunswick realease more balls like this

3-4" Pin

Drilled with the pin over the bridge and the mass bias just right of the thumb. No extra hole was needed making it roughly a 6" Pin to PAP. I have used this ball with several different surfaces, but settled on 1000 abralon. This is probably the most versatile ball in my arsenal right now because it allows me to play deep with good pop on the backend or pickup the speed to play straight with equal success. I've never been a big fan of asymetrical cores, but this is an excellent match of core and cover.

This is one of the oldest balls in my arsenal and the only one to survive in my change over to Storm equipment. I initially drilled the ball as my oiler, but found that it's much more versatile than that. This ball is what I call my Desperate Zone, if i'm confused on the lanes and nothing else is working, I can trust I'll find something with the Strike Zone. No matter what tournament I've been to the SZ has been used for at least one game.
Overview
This ball is meant for heavier lane conditions and can handle almost any amount of carrydown you throw at it. This was my second venture into Activator; the Raging Inferno being my first. I feel this is one of the most tunable coverstocks i've got. I've had every combo of grit and polish on this thing and each one is a different reaction.
I drilled this ball before I really had any arsenal planned and is the only ball I have with a drilling like this; lower pin, with MB in really strong position. Most of my stuff had the MB out in the boonies at 45 degrees with a hole to adjust the hook shape, but this drilling happens to be the most versatile drilling I have. I can play anywhere and do anything with this ball. Up the twig with speed, swing to the twig, up the track area, tight line inside of 12, long oil, short oil, going coast to coast, lofting the gutter caps, forward roll, side turn, cupped, uncupped, you name it I've done it with this ball and done it well. (All except light oil, I can't get far enough left on light oil)
Hook
No matter what house i'm in I trust this ball is going to make a strong move. The only problem is sometimes it makes too strong a move. Applying polish helped to smooth everything out but didn't provide the look I was going for on the lanes. The Zone core gives me an amazing turn off the dry and with the MB at 90 degrees the turn is even more pronounced and continuous. Many say this is a control ball but that control does not me a lack of backend power. This is my coast to coast ball and yet it is my go to sport shot ball as it gives me a point and shoot capability at my breakpoint.
Length
Being a solid sanded reactive the lenght is only dependent upon the length of the pattern. You might 1ft. at the end of a pattern and the ball WILL start it's turn. Polished, I got almost 5ft. of extra length while 400 grit abralon allows this ball to see the soup.
Control/Readability
As I said and will say again, this is my extreme coast to coast ball as well as my favorite sport shot ball. With this ball in my hands I almost feel invincible. I know exaclty what this ball will do and how to adjust as compared to my other equipment. I can perfectly see the ball reacting on the lane even before I've thrown a shot. I can see one person throw a ball and know where I want to throw my SZ. I can't say enough about how much confidence this ball gives me on the lanes.
Patterns played
Regional 3 38' crown
This pattern gives you a fake shot on the gutter, and a more manageable shot up the track. This ball allowed me to cash in my first regional. It competly opened up the shot and allowed my to make easy predictable moves left as the shot dried. I ended up lofting the gutters with confidence, nailing my breakpoint at 6 and seeing the ball scream back as if it was on rails. I used the ball from start to finish the first day, and again the second day. Too bad I'm still not that good and only finished 22nd out of a maxed out field of 138. Pretty good for my first regional.
Regional 5 44'
This pattern is meant to be played in with a breakpoint inside of 10. The Strike Zone was again the only ball I used this tournament and though it gave me a look it wasn't quite the right drilling. I would have benefitted from a longer pin drill with the MB more towards 45 degrees. The ball picked up well enough but didn't quite have the right shape to the hook to really maximize my scoring. This is where another SZ, the Red Zone, and the Dyno-Thane Threshold will come in handy.
THS 39'-42'
I had my first 300, 800 (803), and 1000 (1054 4 games) milestones with this ball at my home lanes. I've also won several tournaments in my local houses with this ball. This ball gives me the most area and consistent hook on local house shots.
Compared to Other Balls in my Arsenal
Storm Paradigm - 5 x 4 1/2 drilling, cg @ 45 degrees. The Paradigm provided me with the same backend potential as a strong assymetrical cored ball, though the Strike Zone could handle more oil up front and as carrydown.
Storm Trifecta - 5 x 4 1/2 drilling, 600 grit abralon. The Trifecta is earlier than the SZ but a magnitude less in backend strength. If the Strike Zone can't make a good move on the soup then I know the Trifecta will.
Overall Impressions and Final Thoughts
I can't say enough about this ball. Just about every dollar i've won bowling recently can be attributed to this ball. If i'm ever lost or struggling th SZ will give me a look. If nothing is hooking, I know the SZ will. If I can't carry the 10, I know the SZ will anihilate it. This may not all be scientifically true but more importantly I feel that it's all true and in my head I'm invincible with this ball.

45 degree pin up drilling, pin above and between the bridge and cg kick out with a small balance hole. Great midlane reaction, when the lane start creating more carrydown, I don't need to adjust my hand or move left of my target. I stay in same line all night crushing the pocket. I prefer this over my vapor zone. Can't go wrong with this ball and price. Highly recommend for oily lane. Don't forget about the redzone, great money balls. Don't get fool with these midprice balls.
I wish they bring back the original inferno. Brunswick Foundation!!!!!!!!!

Conditions: AMF Synthetics/Top Hat Shot/39 feet/Clean backends, Wood lanes with fresh backends/40 feet, ABC Nationals
I've tried this ball on a variety of conditions. This ball shines when the lanes are fresh with clean backends. With this particular layout, the ball revs so hard and charges on the backend. When there is carry down, you have to tighten up your angles and go straighter. With carry down this ball still shines. The only weakness is when the heads start to burn up. It causes the ball to use up so much energy up front and quit on the back. You can play various angles with this ball, tweak the cover to your liking and it responds to different hand postions.
This has to be one of Brunswick's most underated balls.

It is drilled up to start hooking early since I tend to have some speed on it. During the summer with the help of a coach, I tried different lines and hand releases. But no matter what I tried, this ball seemed to make it back to the pocket. Was in love with the ball during my summer league.
Winter league started and different oil pattern I was totally off everything. Could not get the ball to drive into the pocket. Picked up another ball and used that for most of the league. But The Strike Zone was there when I hit heavy oil. In heavy stuff, the ball seems to smile and ask for more.
Just the other day we went to practice. Usually in practice I throw a different ball each game. Threw the SZ the third game and shot my first 300.
If you are looking for a good ball for oil, the SZ is it. The coverstock is easily adjusted if you feel that is what you need to do.

I have drilled 3 Strike Zones:
1. 2.5" pin, 3.2 oz. top
Pin over, 4 1/2 x 3 1/2, x-hole on axis, PSA strong
2. 2.5" pin, 2.8 oz. top
Pin under, 5 x 4 1/2, no hole, PSA strong
3. 1.5" pin, 2.2 oz. top
Pin in palm, 5 x 4 1/2, x hole in thumb quadrant, PSA stong
A basic overview: All three balls roll early with the box finish. The difference is in the backend reactions. The pin high ball, despite the early roll, comes off the dry very hard. The pin low ball has a strong backend, but it is much smoother off the dry. Polished, the pin high ball gets extra skid, good midlane read, and a strong backend move. The pin-low ball had good midlane recovery and a smooth move off the dry.
The pin-in-palm ball rolls VERY early, and is very smooth off of friction, but still retains the hitting power of the other two balls.
In addition to my own, I have drilled several cases of these for the team with good results. Strong midlane and backend reactions on oily conditions.
This is great solid reactive. It has the strength of an Ultimate Inferno in box finish and provides a smooth and controllable reaction with polish. A great ball for medium oily/oily lane conditions. If I could do one thing differently I would have drilled one with the PSA closer to or under the thumb.

As far as I'm concerned Brunswick could never discontinue this one and I'd be happy. Maybe change the color and name and spark some new sales, but just don't change the cover and core combination. This ball is great.

The first ball was finished at 2000 abralon and was great anywhere right of 15 because it rolled very early and was very smooth at the breakpoint. I cashed in my first regional throwing this ball on the Viper pattern flaming it up 8 and killing racks.
The second ball 1000 abralon+shine. This ball needed much less oil and was flippier than the first. Another great ball to throw striaght with. I used it alot on house shot when I wanted to move right and also rolled good on the cheetah pattern.
Both ball handle surface adjustments very weill and I cried when I found out this ball is discontinued, hopefully the Blast Zone will be just as good. If you can find one, drill it anyway you want, it will roll great.
