The Smash Zone integrates a pearlized version of Brunswick’s exciting EnMotion™ coverstock with an updated version of the original Inferno™ core and a high gloss polish finish. This combination creates an ultra-low RG symmetric core ball that gets through the front part of the lane then rev’s strongly to create excellent mid-lane recovery and a continuous back-end reaction.

What I Was Looking For In This Layout: With this layout I was expecting to clear the heads easily and give me a strong and predictable reaction down lane to compliment my Brunswick Ultra Zone. This is the second ball I have tried with Brunswick’s new EnMotion Coverstock, so I was interested to see how this ball would stack up when compared to the Brunswick Ultra Zone.
What I Ended Up With In This Ball Layout: Out of the box, I really needed to move left. I had originally thought this ball would be a little more tame than my Brunswick Ultra Zone. When I got it out on the lanes, it exceeded my expectations. I was expecting clean through the heads, which for the most part I got, but the backend reaction was where it’s at. One thing I found that I liked in this particular ball was how clean the surface stayed after I threw a shot. The ball kept its “tacky” feeling where some other equipment picks up the oil and leaves the surface oily.
After throwing a few games of practice with this ball, I learned that this thing was not going to stop hooking. The further left I moved, the more backend reaction I found. As long as I did not get the ball through the dry heads, I was alright. It did pick up quickly when I got it through the dry areas. I ended up switching to the Brunswick Swarm, a tamer ball in their arsenal that rolls very well on medium lane conditions.
The reaction the Brunswick Smash Zone gave me was surprising, being that I thought it would be less aggressive than the Brunswick Ultra Zone. I think people are going to be surprised with the performance of this ball. If you liked the original Brunswick Inferno, than I think you’re going to love this ball. For the price, it’s well worth the investment.
