Technology - Hard Arcing Control Brunswick low-load particle balls have traditionally been known for their excellent traction in the oil and controlled hard arcing reactions off the dry. This type of ball reaction has long been a favorite of higher level players looking for a predictable reaction that helps them control the mid-lane and keeps them out of trouble by smoothing out the unpredictable breakpoints sometimes seen with Reactive coverstocks on carry down.
Previous Brunswick low-load particle balls have utilized Brunswick's proprietary particle systems with a PowrKoil 18 coverstock base. The Impulse Zone moves in a new direction by using Brunswick's exclusive Activator coverstock as a base. The use of Activator coverstock improves on our already popular low-load particle reaction by increasing length, back-end reaction and hook potential which results in increased forgiveness and improved pin carry.
The Impulse Zone uses a medium-RG version of the Zone Classic Ultra-Low RG Asymmetrical core system. For the Impulse Zone 0.6 pounds has been moved from the inner core to the outer core to provide the desired on-lane performance. This creates a medium-RG core that is a better match to the Activator Low-Load particle coverstock.
The low-load Activator particle coverstock and the medium-RG asymmetric core combine to create a high hook potential ball that reads the oil pattern on the lane well, without over reading it. The Impulse Zone is strong in the mid-lane and back-end without giving up being clean through the front. On a typical house shot the Impulse Zone stays on line in the oil and maintains good contact with the lane without wanting to either hook early or slip in the oil. As the lane condition breaks down, shots that are tugged into the oil hold and hit, while shots that are swung to the dry early recover continuously down the lane and are less prone to the over-reactions sometimes seen with straight reactive coverstock balls.

I have used the Brunswick Impulse Zone bowling ball for half a year now and it is a very consistent ball. It gives you room for error and is good on the backend. It crashes the pocket if flush in the pocket, it also gives plenty of pin action on the light hits.

I have been bowling with Brunswick bowling balls since 1999 and I love Brunswick, but the Brunswick Impulse Zone bowling ball is by far one of the worst bowling balls that I have ever bowled with. Unlike every other Brunswick ball that I have bowled with, this is inconsistent and does not roll true to the specs. I am totally disappointed with this ball. I sold it after 5 months for just forty dollars just to get rid of it.

Picked up the Brunswick Impulse Zone bowling ball about a year ago, and finally just had it drilled. And I'm kicking myself for waiting so long.
I have only used it so far in practice, and only a few games because I am getting more play out of my other two Infernos. But this is definitely a great ball.
The Impulse Zone is a great compliment to my Classic Zone. The Classic Zone is a pearl ball, the Impulse is a pearl particle. I have the two drilled identically, and the Impulse is a much stronger ball.
I also like the idea that the two Zones have asymmetric cores, while the two Infernos have symmetric cores. I feel this gives me some good choices.
I round this out with my Target Zone for spares and my Violet Quantum, for those night when nothing else works.
Everything in my bag is Brunswick now. Makes me think I should also be looking at the Vapor Zone and Radical Inferno.
