Brunswick Vapor Zone Solid Bowling Ball Features:
The Vapor Zone Solid uses the same Zone Asymmetric core shape as the Vintage Vapor Zone, but this version uses the Activator Plus 2.0 Solid coverstock. This cover, which is factory-finished with 500/2000 SiaAir, is very aggressive in the midlane while offering a strong move at the breakpoint and back end. The Vapor Zone Solid’s cover and core combination will offer more angle downlane than both the Method and Method Solid.
Combining Activator Plus 2.0 Solid coverstock wrapped around the proven Zone Asymmetrical core with DynamiCore created the Vapor Zone Solid motion that bowlers love on today’s heavier oil patterns. The Vintage Vapor Zone was so well liked we couldn’t miss the opportunity to follow it up with a solid version that offers more hook in the mid-lane with strong continuation on heavier oil.
Clean your ball with Brunswick’s Big B Bowling Ball Cleaner after every use to reduce oil absorption.

If you’re a fan of pin action and hitting the pocket hard, look no further! The Vapor Zone Solid features the same core as the Vintage Vapor Zone, with a meatier Activator Plus 2.0 Solid coverstock, and Dynamicore. This combination is fantastic for any heavy oil condition, whether it be sport or house. Being a higher speed player, having a big ball with a big engine is key for me, and this fits the bill perfectly.

The Vintage Vapor Zone was one of my favorites and this one builds on its success. The Vapor Zone Solid is a stronger version of the Vintage Vapor Zone with a similar shape. This one is much better on fresher lane conditions. It handles oil well while giving you that sharper shape you saw out of the other Vapor Zone. I like this one for opening my angles from inside on slicker house shots. It also works well on Heavier oil volumes when my Kingpin Rule is too much. In short, if you enjoyed the shape of the Vapor Zone and want a stronger compliment this is your ball.
