Octane Gription Coverstock
The Total Inferno is the second ball to take full advantage of Brunswick’s new Urethane casting machine. By fusing a new additive with new processing technology, Brunswick has created a version of Octane coverstock with more back-end grip.  

Reaction Characteristics - Absolute Inferno® on steroids
With increased grip in light oil and in the dry, Octane Gription coverstock gives the Total Inferno a length similar to other rough buffed Brunswick balls but with more response late in the mid-lane, on the back-ends and on the thickest of carrydown.  Improved grip has another advantage. The Total Inferno responds less to oil moving down the lane, minimizing reaction changes due to carrydown.  The increase in down lane hooking action delivers a ball with both high hook potential and high angularity on today’s lane conditions.

The Total Inferno uses the lowest RG core Brunswick has ever put in a bowling ball.  A fast revving, super-ultra-low-RG-core helps the Total Inferno deliver great mid-lane recovery.  Then, Octane Gription coverstock takes over and produces a stronger version of the move made famous by the Absolute Inferno;  angular but controllable, strong but continuous.  This strong down lane move delivers the highest hook potential Brunswick has achieved in a pearlized ball.  

Utility
•Out of the Box: With its Rough Buff finish, the Total Inferno will match up well on medium to oily lane conditions.
•When dulled:. Shiny surface finishes sometimes cause the ball to go too long before breaking.  To get your Total Inferno rolling sooner, dull the surface with a Scotch-briteâ„¢ grey pad, or similar abrasive, to increase hooking action.  To further increase hooking action, use a rougher abrasive to create an earlier reaction. Dulling your Total Inferno will increase its hooking action and its arc will become more even, creating a better match-up for oily lane conditions.  Dulling also helps to blend the over/under reactions seen on wet/dry lane conditions.  

To bring your Total Inferno back to its original factory finish, sand the surface to 220-grit then use Brunswick’s Factory Finish Rough Buff.

I have been bowling for about 3 months, and I have about a 140 average. I got my Total Inferno drilled on Sat. and my first game right out of the box was a 200. This ball is AWSOME, I can't wait to see what I can do once I get a few games on it.

legend4life95 you are quite Welcome!

Picked this ball up off of Bowlingball.com for $115.  Came with polish and a nice Brunswick towel.  Had it drilled last Monday night, bowled with it Tuesday.  I have it drilled to rev quick and snap hard.  The pin and heavy spot are kicked out slighly from my grip and I do have a flare adding hole.
I have had problems lately with carry down on my league.  I had a Vapor Zone and a Scorchin Inferno.  The VZ worked well when the shot was fresh.  I woud start out of the 3rd arrow throwing to the gutter.  By the end of the 1st game I would have to move outside to get the ball to come up.  My Scorchin wouldn't even work on that slop.
I threw the Total Inferno last week and all I can say is wow!  Shot 643, missed about 6 easy spares.  I started out just inside the 3rd arrow but instead of the normal move out I actually had to move in while everyone else moved out.  If I threw it too far out it would come flying back.  Too far in and it would hold in the oil and still finish strong.

If any of you bowling gurus can answer a rookies question it would be greatly appreciated. I love bowling but I've always used a crap house ball. I average about 200 and I'm trying to step my game up so I'm going to buy a ball, either the No Mercy or the Total Inferno, which should a rookie get? I'm a big guy and usually throw a 16, I like to get a lot of pin action. Any thought? thanks for the input. clemsonsloan@yahoo.com

Just wondering if anyone has been having any issues with this ball? Someone I know started getting dents in the ball. Want to make sure it's an isolated case before I get one myself.

I bought this ball 15# drilled it pin out from ring finger, slightle under the rig finger, with the CG kicked out and a weight hole to the right. I kept the rough buff finish on it. I usually like to play 20-10 but with this ball I was forced to play 25-10 in the 1st game of league play on a THS. It was so aggressive I had to play deeper then usual but I didnt mind it at all. I wanted something that could handle the heavier stuff better, and that I found.
The ball was an absolute monster for the 1st and halfway through the 2nd game. But as the night went on, and the lanes changed, it didnt hold well down the middle. If I missed anything to the left of 10 I was splitting or over the head pin.

I think this ball is the strongest ball Ive ever picked up BUT.....I dont get to the line like I should. I was nearly 2-3 feet behind the foul line when I threw which seemed to be more then usual. So I realize why I couldnt get it to carry as well as I wanted it to. I highly recommend this ball forheavy oil, and Im not even a Brunswick guy, eversince they sold me a cheesy Radical.

Good ball overall IMO!

just being honest when i say this... i hate this ball    for me it was very squirrely and never really read the breakpoint on 3 different oil patterns.... i have high revs, fast speed and a low track and this ball just flat out did not match up to my game at all
