In theory, they are very similar. Not an awful lot of feedback on the BYB but the AI seems to have a lot of happy owners. The Activator(and A+) coverstocks that Big B is implementing right now are right on the money.

NO comparison... one ball is fantastic the other hits like a potato.... the backyard bully is the most unimpressive bully.... columbia midline is great and the big bully is probably the best bully so far... the absolute inferno is just the best ball on the market right now... no question... and columbia has to deal with that.... end of story

Totally disagree with this persons statement. I bet he has not even thrown a backyard bully, well I have and love the ball..
I have tried all the bully's and the by bully has been the best for me..
There is no doubt the absolute infernos is a great ball but so is the by bully.. As far as comparison, sorry can't help you there..

If they only made a ball that would carry that da_n 7 pin (and I am right handed!!)

It seems the Absolute rolls earlier and is more hard arc at the back end.

Hits like a potato?
I don't know about the others on this forum, but I've been hit by a potato before. If it's thrown with sufficient velocity, the impact will *hurt.*
