Technology – Stuck to the Lane
The Inferno line has been a tremendous success for Brunswick. Defined by Ultra-Low RG Core Systems and Activator coverstock technology, the Inferno line is known for its clean front-ends and a quick revving core that helps create mid-lane recovery and a hard arcing back-end reaction.

To expand the Inferno line, Brunswick’s engineers set out to create a new Inferno that delays its hooking action further down the lane while retaining the recovery and hard arcing back-end reaction the Inferno line is known for.


That ball is the
Intense Inferno
featuring
Activator + coverstock.


Activator+ is a new version of Activator coverstock technology that is a better match-up for the medium RG core system designed to delay the Intense Inferno’s hooking action. More aggressive in the mid-lane and back-ends, Activator + has a “Stuck to the Lane” quality that improves mid-lane recovery and the ability to handle carry down when compared to any coverstock Brunswick has used on a medium RG ball.

The Intense Inferno uses a new medium RG, medium differential Inferno family core that complements the Activator+ coverstocks increased traction creating the most angular Inferno to date.

Smoothly blended lane conditions will especially showcase the mid-lane traction qualities of Activator+. Broken down lane conditions will find the Intense Inferno’s medium RG core providing length and the Activator+ coverstock cutting through carry down. The Intense Inferno’s “Stuck to the Lane” quality will help improve pin carry on lane conditions that cause other balls to lose traction and hit.

Reaction Characteristics
Out of the Box: With its High Gloss Polish finish the Intense Inferno will match up well on medium-dry to medium-oily lane conditions.
When dulled: The Intense Inferno hooking action will increase and its arc will become more even, creating a better match-up for oily lane conditions and help blend the over/under reactions seen on wet/dry lane conditions.

this is a nice looking ball but i would have to say i am impressed with its reaction on oily lanes but i bought it for more of a oily lane kinda ball so i am going to sand it down to 600 and maybe that will get me more reaction for the oil conditions that i often face.  this has a good reaction on the back end on dryish lanes that can cary most any ten pins but for me it can leave a couple 9 pins once in a while.  i got mine used it would be the 3rd time its been redrilled in good condition i've got the pin about maybe 1.5" from the ring finger at about 5 oclock.  it reacts very well on wood lanes even with somewhat oily lanes but on sinthedic lanes wait for the last game to use it

I sanded the ball down to 600 and i have to say that i am more impressed with its reaction on oily lanes. I went bowling on wednesday and it wasnt my best day but i was satisfied with its reaction on these lanes. i bowled 181 182 and a 183 the closest i've gotten to getting a triplicate.  this ball is very sensative when it comes to speed if you throw it slow it will cross over for me if you throw it fast it wont come back it takes a very consistant speed to do well with this ball

update i bowled a couple times with this ball and the way i have it drilled i'm very much more satisfied with its reaction i throw about 3 boards left of the 1st arrow and stand on a 7 dot approach 1 board left of the 2nd dot i bowled a 258 a couple weeks ago with 7 strikes in a row this is sure to be a promising ball and with my track triton elite as my 2nd hand ball its sure to be a 1 2 KO in high school league

 Bowling Balls: Track Triton Elite (favorite ball 299 with it), Monster, Intense Inferno.
Average: I finished Zumbrota MN with a 194 average and with the intense inferno i was averaging about 210 the last 3 weeks

I got this ball for $30.00 last Saturday(6/11). I had the polish knocked off by using a burgundy pad on it very lightly. This ball goes really long and has a ton of backend reaction for me. My second game ever I had a 299 with it. So far with this ball I've been averaging 219 for 12 games with it.

Drilled: 4 x 5

This ball is a beast. I never had a ball this smooth down the lane with such
a dramatic backend. It has great recovery and awesome hitting power. I got this ball to replace my Backyard Bully which was really squirty. The only thing is that carry down restricts this ball. But over all i am very impress. You want to pull this ball out when the heads start to break down a little. Carrydown is this ball's Nemesis.

Could anyone possibly give me an idea of how long the balls coverstock will last before it dies?? Assuming im putting like 4-10 games a week on it and cleaning it after every day of use..(saturday and sunday) I own a absolute inferno, arent the coverstocks the same?? (using micro fiber towel and cleaning ball)

This ball is the real deal! I can't believe this ball is so underlooked. Today I used my Intense for the first time and it did exactly what I wanted. My Absolute Inferno was a bit to strong so I pulled my Intense out and I could throw the same line as the absolute and it wouldn't snap hard off the dry like my Absolute was, instead it made a very smooth and controllable move into the pocket to smash the pins. Brunswick should re-release this ball because it's absolutely amazing. If you come across one of these and I know it's hard now a days then you should buy it, you won't be dissapointed. I now actually own 2 of these and i'm glad I do. ONCE AGAIN, GOOD JOB BRUNSWICK ON A GREAT BALL.

Intense Inferno rating-11/10!
