Raging Inferno

Is their anyone who thinks nothing can outhook their Inferno...Guess Again. I recieved my 2 today and drilled them. In all of my years of drilling in a shop and drilling for myself, ive never had a ball this aggressive. I was a sub on a sport shot tonight and was 10 boards left of anyone else in the league.
Alot of people were washing out off the "OB", I was using the "OB" to keep this ball in the pocket. Normally im not this excited about a ball, but im very happy where this one will fit into my bag, and im sure I will make money with it, thanks again Brunswick, I knew I signed with you for a reason. Here are the drills for these 2 balls.
First off, these balls are designed for oil, so I didnt drill one mild. I dont beleive in wasting a drill on a strong ball, just so I can throw it in league. These drills are strong for me, and they worked great on the sport shot.
#1 5 inch pin, 3.7 top
Pin is above my bridge 1 inch(5 inches from my axis), cg is on my mid grip line shifted out 2 inches. weight hole 1 inch past my axis, at a 1/2 angle away from the center of the ball. Side weight came out to 3/4.

#2 3 inch pin, 3.3 top
Pin is right below my ring finger(3 3/8 from my axis), cg is 2 inches right, and 1 inch below my mid grip line. Weight hole is 5 inches from my mid grip line thru  the cg. Ended up with 1/2 side, and 1/2 thumb after weight hole.

Both of these drills are very strong, however there is a considerable difference in reaction, the pin above my fingers goes at least 4 to 5 feet longer.

Any questions, please message me. Thank you.

People dont prepare to fail, they fail to prepare...

As with tradition after winning an ABT, I bought myself a new ball, and chose the Raging Inferno.  Got it with a 2.5 inch pin, and had it drilled with the pin next to the ring finger, and CG kicked out slightly to the right.  When I first used it on a short oil shot, I really couldn't tell any difference between this ball and my Inferno.  Then in a tournament over the weekend when there was some more oil, the difference was clear.  The Inferno skidded way too far down the lane, and never made any real move toward the pocket.  The Raging Inferno grabbed through the oil, and made a nice turn into the pocket.  Hooks slightly less with more length than my Mutant.  For me this is a medium oil ball if I'm going to play inside, or I can play closer to the track on heavier oil.  Not a dry lane ball at all.  The hit is great, and the more oil it is used on, the better the carry is.  Another fantastic job Brunswick!

#15 3.5 pin w/3oz top. Drilled 5x3.5, pin above bridge w/weight hole past PAP. Coated with Doc Elixir before drilling. Oooooh boy, does this baby carry. Early mens league fresh conditions. Every righty playing five, I'm playing 15 to 10.
First game 227(chopped 6/10),300,269=796. What ball is that they asked? Just my little  RAGING INFERNO..

Raging Inferno Review,

Cover stock: The New Activator Particle version. To my knowledge I thought Brunswick finished this ball off at a Cerium Oxide Trizac Pad, not the high gloss polish that is shown in the description on ball reviews.

Weight Block is the original Inferno.

I drilled my pin out Raging Inferno with the pin above the fingers 4” from my axis and placed the mass bias/cg at a 60 degree position.

I used the Raging on two different surfaces. One AMF HPL 9000 heavy oil and one neglected wood lane center with medium oil.

On the HPL, it was just too strong when it hit the dry, tending to give me an inconsistent breakpoint, a “Pin Down” drilling I think would have worked well here. But my test ball just didn’t match up well here. On the wood lane house medium oil, the ball responded just beautifully. Clean through the fronts with a strong but predictable backend, and awesome hit. I tried 2 other balls that night, one the Brunswick Eliminator and the Time Zone and the Raging Inferno was just that much better in reaction than the other two.

I would show this ball to strokers or tweeners for medium to oily lanes. I would use a pin down drilling or early revving drilling on synthetic lanes, and a pin out drilling on wood lanes to match up the breakpoint better, it that also depends on your oil pattern.

Great ball here from Brunswick, hook and strong backend reaction combined in this one.

Thanks for reading my review and best of luck with your Game.

The Raging Inferno, in my opinion, is an excellent ball for those with a moderate ball speed.  Having used the ball on several oil patterns on both wood and synthetic, experienced a problem with blowing past the breakpoint.

Understanding that with the both the high ball speed and rev rate that unfortunately I have developed this can be reoccurring problem, I do have to say it occurred more often with this ball than several others.  

However, for a moderate speed player looking for more overall hook with an earlier reaction this is the ball for you.  When the ball hits it doesn't leave much behind it but debris.  But for the high speed player the ball does leave a little to be desired.

I drilled this with pin at 1:30 no hole. Just like my inferno. This ball rolls early and has decent backend. Not as strong backend as the inferno but will not slide as much in carry down. I seem to leave a lot of single pins with it. I suspect it is rolling out some. I could polish it but, I want to keep it for more of a oil shot. I don’t see enough oil most of time to use this ball.

I have drilled this ball to hook later down the lane and then snap in the backend.  This ball is one of the best balls for heavy oil out there now i believe and i would tell anyone to get this ball. Brunswick has doen a great job and looking forward to gertting the inferno's.  I have avg better ever since i got this ball and i am very happy.
