Hello all
I have only bought Brunswick Zone equip. The one time I had a Storm I was unhappy with its' performance. I recently bought a Riot Zone and it is the perfect power ball. I can use it on most conditions. The only changes I make is in hand release positions. I have "in the bag"(s) a 2000 Danger Zone, A Command Zone ARC which is the ball I used as my primary until I got the Riot. I also have an HPD and a Target Zone drilled flat for 7's and 10's. I seem to be stuck on Zones. Does anyone use the Riot Zone and if so how do you rate its ability? I would love to hear from other Zone users.
Good luck and good bowling....Lyn smile

Hi! I'm a Brunswick Zone and equipment user too! Have been since the late 80's, and love their bowling balls.

Right now, I have the Danger Zone HPD, Purple Proactive Monster, Attack Zone Violet and Target Zone drilled flat for corner spares. How is the Danger Zone 2000? I saw that ball, the Danger Zone Red Alert and Danger Zone LTD. Edition in Reno at the ABC Nationals, but forgot to purchase them when I was there.

I used to be a "power stroker" back in the 80's, but due to a tear in my rotator cuff back then (8 yr. layoff), I now crank the ball, which entails not fully extending my arm out during delivery and preventing reinjury.

Maybe I'm spoiled by Brunswick, but their line of stuff is exceptional! Only things I use that are not Brunswick, are my Ebonite Mag9000 glove and NXT shoes, but my KR (Brunswick bag manufacturer) triple bag is a lifesaver! Thanks!

Thanks for responding!! I had the honor of bowling in a tournament last weekend with another lady who only used Brunswick Zones. The 2000 is great for a wide 5 board shot...The HPD has about the hardest backend snap i've ever seen!!! The ball I prefer is the Riot Zone!!! That ball amazes me. I wear the Lind's Special Edition Purple and silver shoes and have a KR double and triple roller. If I don't take all 5 balls the one I leave in the locker is always the one I need most. Well good luck and good bowling...Lyn wink
