I'm under the impression that the Blazing Inferno is a less rolly/arcing type of ball. You may want to check that out. Unfortunately I haven't seen any in person to judge how it reacts on certain lane conditions.

Why does all of Brunswick's equipment arc? I've seen a lot of Big B thrown and the only semi-snappy ball they have is the slay/r. Why dont they produce any snappy type of balls, skid/snap balls? Im just curious, and, if they do, what balls do they have that are skid/snappy-ish?!
Kid,
I'd suggest you rephrase your original statement. Maybe it's more true that the only B'wick ball you've seen snap is the Slay/R.
Many B'wick balls can be made to snap, depending on the oil pattern on which it is used, how it is played, who's throwing it, how it's drilled, etc.
FWIW, I have a SLay/R drilled 5x5, pin under the bridge and it's very smooth. I can't make it skid/snap and I can make many balls snap.
I have a Fuze Ignitor which I had drilled 3.5"x5" and it was very even, no matter what I did to the surface on any pattern. I just re-drilled it with the pin over and centered above the bridge and this sucker snaps as hard as any ball I've ever seen. I had to put it away when I tried it in my PBA Shot league: far too much backend, far too long down the lane.

Forget that a specific ball is a skid/flip ball or a controlled arc ball.
With the right drilling, thrown by the right bowler, on the right oil pattern, ALMOST any skid/flip ball can be made into an arc-ing ball and ALMOST any arc ball can be made into a skid/flip ball.
Please don't be so conservative, so set in your thought patterns.
While you generally do NOT want to convert a skid/flip ball into an arc-ing ball and vice versa, you can ALMOST always do that.
My general overall comment is to use a ball as it is designed to be used. That is the safest path. Do not make unwarranted assumptions.
