Help! Heavy Oil Ball - Strike Zone?or Scorchin?
« on: January 25, 2006, 04:18:13 AM »
I'm contemplating between the two balls.  I've heard great stuff about the Strike Zone but now that the Scorchin is coming out, hmmm! it's hard to decide.  I've seen the video made by brunswick on the ScI and boy that ball is sweet to.  Please help!  I need input.

If I were you I would wait until the release of the Scorchin'.  Then make a decision..or buy them both

I guess there should be a disclaimer here...my EPX cracked..and it hooks less than my Spare Tire...but still it's sadly in my bag.

I like SGC300 idea personally.

Seriously, the Scorchin' in the OTB condition, will out hook the Strike Zone. Activator Max is just that much stronger than original Activator solid.

The Strike Zone is supposed to be just like the Ultimate Inferno, but with a Zone core. It's purpose is to give more drilling options. But, the Scorchin' is supposed to be a better version of the Ultimate. I'd say you can't go wrong with either.

I have my Strike Zone 400 grit wet sand, and it's an awesome ball.

scorchin video can be found on the brunswick site.

http://www.brunswickbowling.com

once your in, click on high performance ball and once you select scorchin,

there is a video link on the bottom screen.  there is also one for vapour zone and strike zone.

I drilled up a strike zone with a Rico layout.. it rolled awesome.  Great mid-lane, smoothed out the backend reaction... on heavy oil..when most everyone else was playing up the boards, I was swinging the lane.  I'm always tempted by the newest and latest release, but its hard to argue with something that has proven results AND costs less...

If I needed more recovery from inside I'd go with the strike zone and it's assymetric block!.

If I had a heavy oil 10 to 10 pattern and played outside....Scorchin...
