MaxXX Zone, the ball to go to when you're looking for the Max.
Pin to PAP(5 1/8" over 1/8" up) - 6"
Mass Bias Position - n/a
CG Placement - center of grip
Balance Hole - none
Surface Preparation - 4000 grit Abralon on Haus machine for about 20 minutes (there is no polish on this ball)
What I Was Looking For In This Ball Layout:
A few of the last Brunswick balls I tested tended to give me a real bad over/under ball reaction. In the past I have used traditional recommended layouts for these balls. Lately I have been doing a lot of our ball tests using this layout. It tends to help smooth out the ball motion while still allowing for plenty of hook down lane.
All we have heard about the MaxXX Zone is that it hooks. Judging by the way the cover stock looked out of the box I would have agreed without even seeing the ball go down the lane. We immediately thought it would be best to smooth out the 600 grit wet sand finish with some 4000 grit Abralon. After about 20 minutes in the Haus resurfacing machine with 4000 grit Abralon we found the ball to appear shiny as if we polished it. As I stated above there is no polish on this ball. The cover just smoothed out so much that it appears shiny. This was very common a few years ago for ball companies to use really high grit abrasives from the factory and it gave the ball a polished look with the texture of a matte or dull ball.
What I Ended Up With in the Ball and Layout:
We only had time to do a little testing with this ball. We will do more in the next few days and update if need be. From what I saw right away I like the ball motion. It definitely was smooth through off my hand, I attribute this to the cover preparation. Down lane the ball made a very sharp move off the friction and hit extremely hard.
In the next few days I will test this ball more and maybe play with the cover to get it closer to box finish and see what that does.

I recently changed my shot now to where I stand at the 30 board and throw at the 15-20 board.
I bought this ball because I wasn't getting the results I wanted out of my equipment.
All I can say is this ball is phenomenal! My first time throwing it I threw a 620, the 2nd time I threw it, I rolled a 651!
To me, this ball is forgiving because if I throw it out to far to the right it usually bites back, sometime to hard but it my delivery not the ball. If I throw it too far to the left it usually holds and goes brooklyn.
Previously, I had bad issues with leaving splits. Not anymore! This is the best ball I have ever bought and I highly recommend it!

Gives a little more break than my Ultimate Inferno on regular lanes. Speed must be consistent to get the same breaking motion, the ball will give inconsistent results if your speed isn't constant. Still looking for a good breaking ball.

I've gotten the BVP Rampage, Storm T-Road Pearl and Hammer No Mercy and NOTHING hooks like the new Brunswick Maxxx Zone. I absolutly love the way this ball rolls. I've used this ball on dry conditions and the result was extreme entry angle. I ended the game with at least 3 solid 9's, but that's not the balls fault. It reacted so well of the dry that I haven't left a 10 pin in like the last 8 games I've bowled with this ball. I bowled on heavy oil conditions and it was smooth through the fronts and finish with lots of power and backend. I HIGHLY recommend this ball to anyone and the price is UNBEATABLE. This is THE best ball I've ever throw.

This ball hooks! If you are looking for a ball to use on long and or heavy oil look no further. Great midlane and continues very well on the back end.
The MaxXX Zone is much stronger than the fury solid.
I would recommend this ball to anyone looking for a heavy oil ball to fit into their arsenal.
