Reaction Characteristics
The Ultimate Inferno is a heavy oil ball designed for bowlers who prefer Reactive over Particle coverstocks. The Ultimate Inferno uses the same core as the original Inferno but combines it with a solid 800-grit dull version of Activator coverstock.

Compared to the original Inferno:
-The Ultimate Inferno will match-up better to oily lane conditions, longer patterns and heavy carry down.
-The Ultimate Inferno will match-up better for bowlers who struggle with excessively long ball reaction.
-The Ultimate Inferno will match-up better on heavily oiled - over/under lane conditions.

Brunswick’s new Activator Coverstock has quickly established a reputation for excellence in ball reaction, durability and longevity of ball reaction. On the lanes, Activator Coverstock is clean through the heads with excellent mid-lane recovery and a strong arcing back-end reaction that creates powerful pin action. Owners of the original Inferno have reported that it requires less frequent resurfacing and rejuvenations and is more resistant to cracking than other reactive coverstock balls.

Utility
Out of the box: The Ultimate Inferno is an ideal heavy oil ball for players wanting to use a Reactive coverstock.
When shined: Using Brunswick’s Factory Finish High Gloss Polish the total hooking action of the Ultimate Inferno can be reduced and the arc made more skid/snap.

Reaction Setup
The Ultimate Inferno can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for two-piece balls, see the included drilling instructions for reaction characteristics and layout details.

The Ultimate Inferno is finished with a dull 800-grit surface finish which increases its hooking action in the oil. Dull surface finishes can sometimes hook too early resulting in reduced backend reaction and hitting power. To increase length, polish the surface with Brunswick’s Factory Finish High Gloss Polish.

I got a full year from my Ultimate.... this may be the best ball Brunswick has made to date. The Scorchin' falls flat in comparison. A great solid!!!

I only used this ball on a Sport shot oil pattern. This ball RIP. It is Sanded 800. It stays in control and snap back clean like your throwing it in a Medium lane.

Obviously I am a little slow, when it comes to jumping on a band wagon! Just bought my first UI four weeks ago. Actually wanted  an Absolute, but my driller didn't have any on hand. Found this UI sitting in a corner, so I purchased it. Best investment I ever made. Now I know what all the hoopla was about, concerning this ball!

Ball: 15#-3oz
Pin: 3"
Topwgt: 2.5OZ
Drilled: Pin high, two inches over the ring finger, no wgt hole

I am not a Big B fan or bowler, but I knew from past history, this ball could handle hvy oil. Got it to take with me to an out of town tournament. They had heavy oil.......and I had the UI! This ball is the shizit!!
Very predictable hard arc. I could swing it with ease and rev it going up the boards. It responded well to release changes, and I shot my three best sets ever, since bowling in this particular tourny. As a testament to how well I bowled with this ball, I cashed in 26 out of 26 brackets!
That was an absolute first for me.

This ball made me a believer. Sorry I took so long to get one. It hits extremely hard, and mixes pins well. Now, I am curious about the Scorchin'
If I get one, I may have to tweak the cover just a little, but it should be just as good. The Ultimate, however is one GREAT ball.

(This is NOT the original Ultimate Inferno, this is a review of the PBA Ultimate Inferno Green/Yellow)


RPM Rate: 275-300 RPMs
Speed: 15-16 MPH
Style: Power Stroker
Ball Layout: Pin 5" from PAP.

Review: This ball is by far, THE best ball I have ever owned. This ball with this drill, clears the heads with ease, and starts to rev up in the midlane, and takes a right turn at about 45 feet. I am always able to use this ball, no matter how heavy or light the oil is, except extremes..

TESTED ON 32' FLAT PATTERN AND ON A CHRISTMAS TREE PATTERN

Light Oil: I have to stand at about the 25 board, and playing a huge angle, playing the deep inside line, and that ball rockets back to pocket and carries the world. Only time it can get sensative is if you aren't completely accurate with your hand release every shot on this line, it can either jump on you or skid too far. RATING: ****

Medium Oil: This condition is a lot better for this ball, as I can stand about the 20 board, and playing 15 out to the 3 board and get great recovery, with some room for error. RATING: ****1/2

Medium-Heavy Oil: This condition is the best for this ball. I can stand on the 15 board, and play about 10-3, and 12-5 or so, and this ball has quite a bit of recovery and area to play around in. RATING: *****

OVERALL: The more oil, the better this ball does, obviously. The only time it gets hard to use on is either extreme dry lanes or floods. I have used it on a flood and played down and in standing on the 5 board, and it reved up a little late but it wrinkled about 5 boards overall, but still drove through the pocket! If you can be versatile with your speed and hand releases, this ball is just amazing. I recommend this ball to any higher rev or power player that needs a good go-to ball for a decent price!
Thanks for reading!!

i have been throwing the ultimate inferno for over three years now, awesome ball.  i have had it resurfaced only once and i have over 1000 games on it!  this ball is smooth, great carry.  basic drill pin over ring, cg in the center of my grip.  take care!

I bought this ball back in 05. My average was 188. I have thrown the ball for about 3 years now and I am averaging 227. I love this ball and would recommend it to anyone. It hits hard and carries well. I recently bought the cell ball and have been throwing that more but when all else fails, I go back to the Inferno.
