Just saw the magazine and I just thought it was odd that they reviewed the Sidewinder but not the Blast Zone. I like to take all information into account before drilling a piece of equipment and I was kind of looking forward to reading what they had to say. Anyone have an idea why it was not reviewed?

I don't know why, but would expect it in next month's issue of BTM.  This time of year there are lots of balls hitting the market at the same time in preparation for the season starting.  Maybe they haven't had time to do enough testing, yet.

I plan to throw mine one more time tomorrow night on a different house shot before I do my own (less informative) review.

5" pin to Pap below fingers
45 degree MB
Spin time 5 sec

At first I left it in OOB finish with no hole. The cover was suprisingly strong. The reaction was good but the flare rings were too close together and I wasn't getting enough continuation through the pins.

We drilled a 7/8 hole 1.25 down on my VAL, and I hit it with 1000 abralon. The spin time dropped to 4 sec and now the ball drives through the pocket.

The lanes were broken down pretty bad, so I moved into 5th arrow swinging out to 7-8 board with a very steep angle. The ball recovered very well and carried on the break down.

I like the motion to the pocket with the old Phantom core. This one will stay dull, and I'll punch out a high pin Blast with polish to compliment the early rolling hard hitting low pin.
