The Brunswick Zone series have lots of meaning to me. I bowled in my first men's league with my dad with the Combat Zone. I bowled my first 700 series with the Classic Zone. (rolled a 279 in that series). Since the Zone series was discontinued, I switched to Strom/Roto Grip and had my best series, 789, using combo of Storm Dimension/Roto Grip Cell Pearl. Still waiting for my first 300 though. That will be the ball that will be framed for life though ...

The ball that I shot my highest scores with and could always count on when I was either lost or when I needed a ton of shape and continuation... Storm Xfactor Vertigo. If you can find one, I recommend getting it. Phenomenal ball. Keep in mind that I had to quit bowling eight years ago, but that was my favorite ball of all time.

The Columbia Enigma might be the ball that has a bit more meaning behind it than most other equipment I've utilized. When I was looking for new equipment, while the Enigma was new, Michael Hougan Jr wandered into the pro shop I was at. He asked what part of the lane I rolled, and my response was that typical, between 1st & 2nd arrow location. He went to look at the balls on the shelf and stated he would use the Columbia Enigma. That's the ball I acquired and I sure had a good time using it. Used it in conjunction with a Hammer Nail.

The track Triton Elite is my all-time favorite ball. I was heartbroken when they discontinued it years ago then I got in a car accident and was out of bowling for nine years. I came back to bowling in 2019 and they remade the Triton Elite. I bought myself one my oldest son wanted one real bad because it was my favorite ball and then they discontinued them again so I bought myself another one that is sitting in the Box undrilled. Triton Elite has also become my son's go to ball.

You guys are great I’ve been bowling a long time yet you provide the best explanation about the balls and what to expect. My question is I play in different house’s with one heavy oil and the other light with quick breakdown. For the heavy I bring the Realty, Proton Physix and VIP Affliction where as the light I start with the Rst V1, Parellax Affect and Knock Out also have Zen and UC2. I just purchased the Dark Code instead of the Alert and didn’t have the reaction I was expecting so I’m confused as to where it would best fit without moving out of my comfort zone. Any help or suggestions from you guys is greatly appreciated. By the way I’m a low rev and speed bowler that loves to stand from 20-25 and play around 15 at the arrows. H
