I'm interested to hear from anyone who has had experiences with the two balls...

I have a Strike Zone (actually two) and I'm very familliar with their reactions: the Activator cover allows them to clear the fronts with ease, then make a very smooth arc to the pocket that never seems to stop. Even though their 800-grit OOB, they are for medium to oily lanes due to the advanced cover (at 800-grit they seem to get good length).

I am thinking of purchasing a Hawg Zilla, and I have read revies and specs, and this ball seems to do the same as the Strike Zone: clears the heads with a 4000-grit Abralon finish, and continues with an arcing motion that doesn't quit. Reviews even say don't miss left (a phrase I repeatedly say to myself with my Strike Zones).

Please advise... this is actually for my dad who I'm trying to talk out of the Hawg Zilla because he already has a Strike Zone.
