« on: July 04, 2006, 03:44:38 PM »
Hey folks - i just got this ball given to me yesterday - and i like it pretty well.. I was just wondering what it was and what the name of it was. I know its something off of an inferno - but i dont know exactly what it is. If you guys could help-  that would be great. Pics are below:

It's an original Inferno in red and black.  It was the PBA pro-am ball for 04-05.  Same specs as the OI.

Shelley is correct.  The PBA Infernos have the same specs as the other infernos.  Red/Black is same as the original Fire/Smoke and the Blue/Green is same as the Ultimate.

It is a great toss to you.  It will fit underneath the Machine but be more hook than the Desert Heat and the Ambush.  This is going to be a good investment for you.

Yeah, you've stumbled on to one of my favorite balls.  I had one but had to sell it because of changing ball weights.  Otherwise I'd have never let anyone even touch it.

i dont think the drill layout is too great on the ball although.. i have to put alot of hand into the ball- to make it turn that corner.. may have it re drilled.
