I got this ball drilled in Vegas during an amature tournament. It was drilled Stack Leverage, so it can go down the lane and come back. All I can say about this monster is AWSOME!!!!! I'm a right hander. I usually stand all the way on the left and throws 15 board to the 7th and let the ball come back. I can never play that line with the INFERNO. I have throw it pass the 5th board, sometimes it goes out to the 3 and just as I thought it was going into the gutter, WHAMMM... it came screaming back to the pocket. I have NEVER threw a ball pass the 5th board.

The first night that I used it for my league on friday, I got 243, 290, 247 scratch!! Great ball.. Brunswick has done it again....

PS. I think I'm going to get another one and drill it differently. See how it performs. hehehehe

I drilled the inferno in june. I am averaging 242!! The second time I used it in league play, I shot 813, with a 300!!! The very next week I shot 847!!
My inferno is drilled with the pin above the ring finger and the CG is stacked below. This is a very predictable ball. It has a good mid lane roll, and a strong backend. It is great for med-heavy oil.

Can't say I've thrown this one myself, but it seemed like everyone had one at the St. Louis JG. The reactive cover made it a nice sport shot ball.

Just recieved this ball recently. It has a 3 1/2 inch pin and is drilled 3 3/4 by 4, which is pretty strong! It does cover quite the bit of boards, but what i was pleased with was how responsive it is to hand changes. I could really shape the breakpoint however i wanted to. I tried to throw it last night on a 3:1 FIQ shot that was medium oily, and it was oiled to 40 feet. What i experienced was a lot of bump to the right. This ball would actually recover very strong, from the oil outside. But this proved to be the wrong line on this condition, as the scoring was beign done with less hooking equipment. I will update when i throw on house conditions.

This ball works great for me. The only problem i had with this ball was the 9 pin. it turned the corner so hard it would fly right by the 9. so i had to 100 grit it just to try to get the ball to break just a little earlyer and it did wonders.

Update:
Not a  ball for everyone, it definitely has a special type of movement.  If you are a Tournament bowler or a bowler who goes to very many different houses you will sooner or later find a shot for it.  If not you can tweak the surface a little and then again, you will sooner or later find a shot for it.  Don't ever give up on it though because when you find that one center that will give you a shot, there is no other ball you will want to use on that shot.  

It doesn't have that smash em up make pins fly all over the place type hit, but it will strike and find a way to strike.  The sound from this ball creates its own excitement, LOUD LIKE THUNDER!!! LOW BASS LIKE THUNDER STRIKES YEAH BABY!

I loved it during my first outing then hated it through several tournaments then love it again now in my summer scratch league.  Leave it in your bag find that specific house shot and make lots of money $$$

This is my first review and I'm not up on all the current lingo, so bear with me.

first off, I don't know what the pin set is because I picked the ball up already drilled. the guy bought the ball rolled 2 games with it, couldn't control it, and sold it to me for 60 dollars. Since the drilling fit me pretty good, all I had to do was put bigger finger tip inserts in it and it was perfect.

I'm a lefty so I started 3 boards right of middle, and rolled it between the third and fourth dot for a tight shot. Big mistake. The ball has a beautiful roll through, but hooks hard as hell on the back end. I adjust between the second and third dot on the lane and moved left one board. Beautiful all the way down.

When this ball hits the pocket it sounds like a twelve gauge shot gun going off indoors. It's a head turner. Now I'm not going to give my scored because I am nowhere near a good bowler, (130 average), but with this ball in 3 games i averaged 20 pins over every game. The lanes were dry and I cant wait until league, when I can get some good fresh oil and see what it does. I'll update after that.

There Is NO STOPPING THIS BALL!!!! I've had this ball for about 5-6 months now and there is no way i could compare the reaction to anything else that i have.  I have the ball with a simple label drilling and it just screams down the lane and completely destroys the pins.  So far I have 10 300's and 3 800's on the ball.  At First i didnt like the ball too much b/c the polish made it a bit squirty and unpredictable.  But since then the polish has worn off and the ball has become very controlable and devastating to the pins.  i give the ball a perfect 10 out of 10.  Great job Brunswick!!!!

O.K. I'm back with an update. I have used the ball on a couple of leagues now in fresh oil and the Inferno is a truly awesome ball. It cuts a groove through the oil almost instantly. I love this ball. in two weeks my average has jumped up 10 pins overall. It would have been more, but since I'm not that great of a bowler I still make mistakes even the ball can't help. Like late releases where I throw the ball damn near halfway down the lane before it hits. lol. Anyway, when I get the ball enywhere around the pocket it destroys the pins. It has quite a bit of leeway, as far as pocket goes, because of the great pin action. I even got a strike last week when I compleately missed the head pin. Anyway, from what I have read from the other reviews, and my own experiences, I highly reccomend getting this ball and adding it to your arsenal.

I am on my 3rd inferno. I have been using this great ball for 6 months now. My 1st inferno was drilled with pin at 1:30. With that drilling I had a nice mid lane read and a nice smooth move to the pocket. This ball for me will slide in oil and read well on the drier area of the lane.  The hit/carry is great.

I liked this ball so much I had one drilled max leveraged and did not like the result. I got way too much over under with this drilling and pretty much never used the ball that way.

After 6 months of heavy use, the 1st inferno finally started to show that dreaded "ball death". I have to say this ball lasted allot longer than any ball I have had to date. I liked it so much, that I replaced the 1st one with a new one drilled the same way, and got pretty much the same reaction.

This is my go to ball, and the ball I prefer to throw when conditions warrant. For me a fresh house shot is where this ball is at home

All I can say is this ball is huge!  

I was strickly a hammer head after the re intro last season!  Hammer diapponted me with their latest and greatest additions, turbo diesel and vicious attack.  Cover blows on them.


Anyhoo purchased this ball last week for a pattern that is a flat 45 foot of soup with flat backends.  This ball is great for that shot.  got a 4 in pin with cg just left and and inch above thumb with pin just below ring finger.  think this is the 2l drilling on the sheet. It gets through head real clean and just starts reving in midlane with a backend that i havent seen in long time.  Hits like tank too.  Leave more 8's and 9's with this than corners.
Very big oil ball didnt even adjust the cover on this.  I am averaging 245 in my league with this ball. give this ball 10 out of 10. keep it up brunswick made a believer out of me!!!

hey I'm back again. bowled league last night and the lanes were extra heavy on the oil. I don't know if the house was trying something new or what, but you could have almost swam in the oil. lol. anyway, took a couple of shots to adjust, but soon enough the inferno came through for me. I can't say enough good things about it. I only carry a 140 average, but that is mostly thanks to this ball. My personal high in bowling a league is a 175, i know it sucks but great for me. lol. I did it the first night I bowled league with my inferno. Last night I averaged a 160, with a 173 high game. add in my handicap and I kicked ass. lmao. Anyway, ball is great, makes a subpar bowler like myself hang in there with the better bowlers. If you don't have an inferno yet, what are you waiting for, buy this ball now.

by the way, found a little info about the drilling of my ball which I had no idea about before. I'm a lefty and the ball is drilled three inches right of pin. To much hook for the original owner so he had it counterdrilled in the pin itself, it was still to much hook for him, that's how i got it. lol. Works great for me, but I would have loved to have thrown it before the counterhole was put in, just to see if I could handle it.

Drilled - Pin below Ring Finger, Cg kicked out, X-hole
Coverstock - Sanded with grey Scotchbrite, repolished with Neo-Tac 400grt compound

Ive had this ball for about 3months. At first, the reaction was very much skid/flip. A really hard change of direction on a house pattern. But the more I used it, the smoother/controllable the reaction got with great carry. The Activator coverstock is amazing, about 60-80 games later, I havent had to repolish this ball, just an occassional cleaning. Still hits just as good as when I first got it. Most bowling balls today dont last 50 games without losing hit or reaction. This is one of the few high dollar bowling balls that are truely worth the money, it will last. And besides that, the Inferno made Brunswick the Hi-performance leader.

  The brunswick Inferno is another great ball in the inferno line.. it is a great compliment to my raging. The ball is drilled pin above ring cg at 12:00 with a small weight hole 7" out for a smooth more even reaction. I love this ball when the heads dry out a bit because of the pearlized coverstock give the ball the extra couple feet of length i need when the Raging checks up a bit early. Great job Brunswick with another winner cant wait for the BLAZING INFERNO!!!!!!!!!!!-- in which does any1 have a clue the the new BLAZING will hit the market?????
