Inferno vintage vs Danger Zone Vintage
« on: August 01, 2017, 03:01:57 PM »
Could you guys explain the differences between the Inferno vintage and Danger Zone vintage.  I have the Danger Zone already and loved my old Inferno but looking at the charts they don't seem all that different.  Maybe someone who has tried both already could help me out and say if it is worth it to get the new Inferno or just stick with the Danger Zone.

Really tough to say, since neither is true vintage.  Original DZ had pk 18 shell which was stronfg and long lasting.  Original Inferno had activator, which was just a modified PK 18.  It was the rough buff finish that made the inferno so much stronger.  Neither of the current balls have the original shells.  They have tried to make them stronger to match up with the super high viscosity oils.  However I found the new DZ to act nothing like my original.  Maybe different oils, maybe bad core shell matchup.

My DZ is a little rollier with a milder motion down the lane than the Vintage Inferno.  I like the DZ for staying straighter with my angles (on flatter or shorter patterns) whereas the Vintage Inferno gives me the backend necessary for when I want to step towards the middle of the lane and swing the ball.
