I have to reiterate that question.  If the covers the same and the cores the same and the grits the same (Wizard-Nemesis) then it should hold true that the balls the same.  A difference in the Red Zone to a Polished Strike could be justified in the fact that factory polish tends to hold up better and offer a finish that can be gotten close to but not replicated, but Wizard to Nemesis?

I'm looking foward to seeing the Radical however.  How would this ball compare to a Vapor Zone.  I know that the vapor is an asym, but it has similarities to what your description said.  Longer than the Absolute, but with more angle at the breakpoint.  Is the Radical even longer and stronger?

Let's look at it this way, different pigments can slightly change the reaction of a ball. For some reason red makes the ball tend to be cleaner throung the front and jump off the spot harder, while blue tends to be earlier and smoother. From what I've seen this week this rings true, the Wizard seems to be earlier and smoother than the Nemesis. I only threw my Strike Zones dull twice so I kept mine polished and from what I've seen the Red Zone is cleaner and significantly more angular at the break.

Regarding the Radical I feel it has a place in every persons bag. It is extremely clean through the heads, reads the last part of the midlane and creates angle through the back. Compared to the Vapor Zone, I feel that the Radical reads the midlane about 2-3 feet later and has about 3-4 boards more backend. This comparison is with both of them at a ruff buff finish.

Maybe I can get Nick to do a video while he is here or I'll get off my lazy @$$ and do it. I think if Nick does it will have a better soundtrack and visual appeal.

A thank you goes out to Verbs, Ric, and Billy O, and Jason Guest for all your help.

P.S. Brunswick themselves do not run the Brunswick booth at nationals, it is run by http://NationalBowlingStore.com

Zone - what info do you want I'm no chemist so I'm sure of the scientific reason for this, so I don't know what you want to know but I'll try to help.

Smash - The releases in August will have more yellow or at least have it more evenly distributed throughout the cover. Like Ric said this is the FIRST three color performance ball, on BRAND NEW coverstock, with BRAND NEW NEVER BEFORE USED MACHINERY at the new plant. They will Adjust everything to get the desired results. Keep in mind you have to start somewhere, then adjust from that.

The Wizard could also be a sleeper if not given a chance. It is a little cleaner and a bit more angular than the Nemesis and defiantely looks good.

Am I the only one who thinks the ball looks kinda ugly? The blue and chrome portion look OK, but I don't like that yellow at all. Almost makes it look like a cousin of the Robo Rule (which is unsightly).

Sorry bout that, I'm tired and when I thought that through my head I mixed them up. What I am thinking is that, maybe pigments could thoeretically react differently to certain coverstock formulations, and I kinda confused myself as I wrote it. Again sorry bout that and I'm going to bed.

Ric, you got anything that could help here. I believe there was some testing a couple years back.

My driller swears that pigment makes a difference in ball reaction on two exact same balls, he said the same thing as Ric that the wizard is more angular off the breakpoint than the nemesis.

I am bringing my camera up to Vegas this Wednesday, so I'll definitely get one punched and get some footage on the practice range.

I told LaW that I'd come up late Tuesday night and he's like "only if you're sleeping with Ric"  Eww... nobody sleeps with Ric.

So Wednesday it is!
