Brunswick is offering a very limited release of this special edition bowling ball. The Brunswick Inferno Blue Flame is only available in 15 pounds and when they are gone, they are gone. Brunswick has combined the Relativity Hybrid coverstock with their Inferno Low RG core then they finish it with a 4000 grit pad. The combination allows this ball to rev early and then break at the mid-lane for a powerful and continuous backend reaction. This bowling ball's strong and controllable hook motion is ideal for rev dominant bowlers and players with slower ball speed when matched up on medium to medium heavy oil conditions.

Core: Inferno Low RG
Coverstock: Relativity Hybrid
Finish: 500/2000/4000 Siaair Micro Pad
RG: 2.529**
Differential: 0.050**
** RG and Diff are based off of 15 lb. balls
Hook Potential: 230 (scale: 10-250)
Length: 125 (scale: 25-235)
Breakpoint Shape: Angular
Recommended Lane Condition: Medium-Medium/Heavy Oil

COMMENTS
The Inferno Blue Flame is a ball motion I have never seen in my arsenal.  This ball is clean through the front for a solid cover hybrid and very angular on the backend.  I drilled mine with my favorite pin up layout to give me a controllable angular motion that I can move in and blend tighter sport shots.  This ball is one of a kind and is a must

Here is a limite edition of the Inferno, the Blue Flame.  This ball has de same core as the original Inferno wrapped up with the new Reletivity hybrid coverstock.  This ball is designed for medium to oily lane condition.

I put the similar drilling as the Vintage Inferno, 60x4 ¼”x40.  On the lane, the ball is really smooth and controllable in the backend but is still strong.  Because of the low RG core, the ball offers a heavy roll in the midlane even with heavier lane patern.  Compared so my Pitbull Growl, I play the Blue Flame 3 boards right with my feet and two with my eyes.  Compared to the Magnitude 035, I play the Blue Flame around the same spot but the roll is different.  Because of the solid coverstock, the 035 rolls sooner and because of the differential, the ball is smoother on the back end.  Compared to the Inferno, I play the Blue Flame two boards left with my feet and one with my eyes.  The Inferno is cleaner in the heads because of the pearl coverstock and is sharper on the backend. 

The box Finish is at 4000 grit.  For player with more speed or wanting to play heavier patern, the ball can be sanded to a 1000 or even 500 grit abralon pad.  By doing so, the ball will roll sooner but will still be able to get to the pocket.  For people with less speed and still interested in this ball, you can put a polish on the ball and it will goes longer on the lane and have more pop in the backend.

To conclude, is you wanna have a really limited edition ball and if you wanna have a smooth and controllable ball, the limited edition Inferno Blue Flame is for you.

I was given this ball as a gift by my PSO. Since I had never heard of it, and previously had two original Infernos, I drilled this ball weak and attempted to use it on high friction lanes. Quickly realizing the error of my actions after seeing its angularity and watching it roll out continually....I had it redrilled to a conservative 4x4 layout.

Wow!Did this ball come to life suddenly. It has become an absolute staple in my bag because of its consistency; its versatility and its HIT! I know that it is angular but with the hybrid cover it gives me a very smooth and continuous look!

The bigger surprise is that with a little bit of surface added to it, it is useable on medium heavy oil as well as a regular THS. I hit mine with a 1000 pad for about 30 seconds and it makes this ball a consistent monster. Good predictable hook as well as good length.This is my Zen....before there was a Zen!

This ball had literally sat dormant on my rack for months until I decided to redrill it. Great, great job Brunswick. Love this ball that no one ever heard of!
