Original Inferno Vs. Absolute Inferno
« on: December 27, 2005, 05:32:41 AM »
Does anyone have experience throwing both and what would be the advantage of one over the other or do they compliment each other in any way.  They seem to me to be very similar balls except the coverstock on the Absolute is a bit more advanced...or am I wrong?

i have both, i have used the Original Inferno for approx. 50 games
and have used to Absolute for approx. 5 games.

and from what ive seen, the Original Inferno is snappier off the break than the Absolute Inferno, which tends to be a more hard arc than a snap.

i think the Absolute Inferno finishes harder, and is meant for a more oil than the Original Inferno, see profile for layouts.

Thanks for the input.  I guess I'm trying to figure out if I should hold onto the Original or just replace it with my Absolute.  I haven't got the Absolute drilled yet but want to know what others have experienced as well.

Absolute is a partical shell,, made for med heavy oil... it has a long strong arc.

use the Original Inferno when this ball starts to react to soon in the midlane.

Original Inferno is the best medium oil ball ever....

What be "partical"?

if you mean particle, the Absolute Inferno is most definitely not a particle ball!

Absolute is a bit stronger for me than the original.  Both are great balls that were successful over quite a few conditions.  They also both have similar drawbacks in that they often won't push through broken down heads very well.


I have to agree with Bob. My Absolute is about 5 boards stronger than my Inferno. I can't use the Absolute on medium oil. The lane isn't wide enough. I had more trouble with carrydown with the Absolute. Other than that, I get a smooth arc from either.
