Classic Zone RED PIN -- Clearing up confusion

Original Classic Zone core w/ Activator coverstock. This batch cured too fast, so its characteristics are SIMILAR to that of a Punisher.

Just how hard are they?

Original Zone Classic tested at 76-77 on the durometer.

Red Pin Zone Classic tested at 79-80 on the durometer.

So what does that mean?

The Red Pin Zone Classic will clear the fronts a lot easier when the lanes tend to break down later in the shift. Bowlers like myself who absolutely love the Original will now have a ball that rolls IDENTICAL but is milder.

According to BrunsRicH, this ball will be slightly more aggressive than the Punisher.

Yeah but the bowling.com one is the price shipped....The ones you listed have to include shipping (plus I don't need a ball roller).

I'm not quitting permanently, just the summer.  I'm burnt out, bowling isn't fun anymore.  Time off will make me want to bowl again.

Assuming shipping through bowlingball.com is $15 heres the breakdown:

bowling.com (with free shipping): Packaging fee is $4.95, ball with shipping is $66.99 for a total of $71.94

bowlingball.com: ball is $59.99, assmue shipping is $15 and no packaging fee total is $74.99. If shipping is more and/or a packaging fee is present then that toal goes up.

I did not notice a comment section for bowlingball.com to specify pin/top if available. bowling.com does have this option. I slightly lower price and a better possibility of getting the ball specs desired, I would go with bowling.com.

Ok this whole thing was bugging me since I posted, so I went on bowling.com and bought at 15lb'er for my $71.94. Shipping monday, hopefully will get it Thursday/Friday and can drill it up before the following Monday. I have been looking to replace my *cough* Eraser Pearl *cough* and was thinking Punisher. BUT if the Red Pin ZC will have be slightly weaker than the Green I will be very happy. Question is how should I drill it? Thinking 5 x 4, perhaps 4 x 5 which was the same as my *hmmm* Eraser *hmm*.

There's good deals to be had on eBay, too. I just won one at auction for $53.00 shipped. The only possible drawback is he may not have the exact pin placement I wanted. I'll just have to wait and see. This will be my first big B product since the CZ:TE3(I must have paid for that ball a dozen times over in pot game winnings with it). I need something for the med-light conditions, as my RS-1 is a bit too much for most of them. I really like the idea of a strong core/weak(ish) cover combo.
