Well its the Inverted Bell Core found in the Nemisis,Goliath,Punisher.  The coverstock is SS Extreme which is skid/snap extreme although I am not sure exactly what coverstock that is.  This coverstock was also used on the Smart Zone I and the original International Danger Zone I.

I should just quit bowling, oh wait I already tried that.
Now that I am back and my Saws are sharp again, I am ready to cut some wood.

I can help with that..

SS Extreme is the most Skid/Snap cover from Brunswick to date.. Without a doubt..

Danger Zone International 1 did not have SS Extreme, just SS.. I have the DZI 1-ball and i didn't get that much of a Skid/Snap reaction.. But still a really good ball..

If I were you I'd wait to purchase this until it's listed on the ABC approved list.  All of the other international balls are listed that I have seen, but this one isn't just yet.  I'm sure it is approved, but might not have been added yet.  Throwing these international balls does draw attention sometimes and you might run into an opponent that doesn't think it is abc approved.

I'm just letting you know from personal experience.  I was bowling well with an explosion zone and was questioned about it.  I had checked prior to buying it and told the guy that we could go on the internet to look it up just as had already done.

I can't give you any info on the Bionic Zone but I can give you some info on the Smart Zone I.  I purchased my ball on-line so wasn't sure what to expect as far as surface is concerned. Brunswick has a tendancy to classify many different surfaces into one group. They say that the Raging Inferno is a high gloss, which it certainly isn't. So even though the Smart Zone I was in the high gloss catagory I had to wait and see what it was.
     
     When I got the ball out of the box it was so polished it looked like a plastic ball. It has to have a 2000 grit high polish and buff to it. Smooth and shiny as glass.

     Since this ball was so shiny I had my pro shop drill it for a strong mid lane reaction with accordance to my bowling style. So far I can't complain about the results. I bowl on both wood lanes and synthetic. Have used this ball for two weeks and except for one sub par series, have shot over 200 every game. In fact, my last three series have been 723, 800 with a 300, and 728 last night.
     
     If you have a chance to get one of these jump on it, it will be money well spent.  Good luck and good bowling.  Rich
