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.

I should just quit bowling, oh wait I already tried that.
Now that I am back and my Saws are sharp again, I am ready to cut some wood.

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

As with all things, this is my opinion. And we all know, opinions are like butt-holes, we all have one.

Seems to me it would be more comparable to and potentially stronger than the Ultimate, not the original
Care to elaborate? It seems to be an Original-ish core with the Intense coverstock. To me that doesn't really seem like it is stronger than the ultimate..

End of January is the scheduled release.
Activator + with the original Inferno core, couldn't have chosen a better combo! The only other idea would have been Activator+ Solid with the Intense core.
Cheers to another Low RG Pearl!!!!!

Rough Buff just means it will not come NIB with a high factory polish. It will not look "rough", just a light buff.
Happy New Year Y'all,
