ABSOLUTE INFERNO data & pic revealed!
« on: December 29, 2004, 04:25:55 AM »

Since today, German Brunswick distributor has official data and a picture of the new ABSOLUTE INFERNO on their homepage, as well as a German text (see below for data and translation ).

For a picture, either look at www.spobag.de and use the link or try www.spobag.de/baelle/inferno_activator.htm to get directly to the relevant page. No entry in the ball comparison chart yet, nor coordinates for this grid.

ABSOLUTE INFERNO
60-104280-93X
Coverstock: Activator +
Colour: Blue pearl/Orange pearl (looks daring!)
Hardness: 76-77
Surface: Rough Buff

Core dynamics:
RG-max: 2.513
RG-min: 2.463
RG-diff.: 0.050
Average RG: 2.6 of 10

Performance:
Hook potential: 130
Length: 100
Breakpoint: 85
Weights: 12-16 Pounds

Ball review from Brunswick (humble personal translation):
The Absolute Inferno combines the properties of the original Inferno low RG core with the aggressive Activator+ coverstock series. This puts up a new standard in ball reaction characteristics: improved hook potential, strong change of direction at the breakpoint and better control in the pines area: All together results in the name "ABSOLUTE INFERNO".

Brunswick’s Activator® coverstock has established itself quickly in the market because of its outstanding characteristics. Activator® Plus is a more aggressive version of the Activator® coverstock. The rougher surface supplies more traction in the oil. This combination offers more room to play with to the player.

Out of the box:
The ABSOLUTE INFERNO is the ideal ball for medium dry to medium oily lane conditions.

Wait, what is the purpose of this ball?  Won't this overlap with the Intense/Original?...

Looks nice though.

It will fit Brunswick does a lot of stuff but they don't overlap,  they pride themselves on making a ball for a certain niche.  It appears to be stronger than everything but the Ultimate so it would fit right below it and right above the Intense. I would guesstimate the following as I think blazing and raging are gone correct?

1Orig Inferno
2Intense
3Absolute
4Ultimate

It looks as though they just changed the colors and name on the original. The numbers are exactly the same except for the hook potential. Im willing to bet its the exact same ball.

Hmm, but aren't they discontinuing the entire line in the summer anyways?  Doesn't make sense to come out with a repeat 6 months before you're going to axe the line.

Yeah it says it has a stronger cover but for it to be about a couple number difference, that wont be that much of a difference. It is simply going to just replace the original inferno. I look forward to getting one to replace my old one that i traded.
