I have an Absolute and an Original Inferno and I LOVE the way these 2 compliment each other. Is there a good ball that will go under the Original that will compliment it VERY well? I was sort of thinking about a Power Grove but, I know they are fairly strong. How about the Radical, Intense, or blazing??? Any other ideas? It must be a symetrical core also.

The punisher is a nice ball but I absolutely HATE the way it reacts when there's a trace of oil or carrydown down lane and the midlanes are drying up.  It's good on the fresher and shorter patterns but when the volume is good enough to start out with the activator shell and carrydown occurs, the punisher could be a nightmare to use.  

I'd say stay with something with the activator base and a weaker drill so you don't get the squirtiness down lane from the punisher.  A Zone Classic with the pin high and a 70 degree PSA, a Smokin Inferno with the pin about 5" from the PAP, and even a Radical with a weaker drill or if you could still find an Intense, they could all be great options for a look when the Absolute and Original are rolling too early.

My Blazing and even Intense even more aggressive than my Original Inferno on Medium Oil about 5 board more right difference from where I stand on my Blazing (2-3L right handed). So I only used my Original on Medium Dry then my Smokin on Dry. But, I maybe wrong coz I'm a Med High rev that makes reactive works more.

For all the people suggesting the Zone classic, I said I wanted a symetrical core!

Thank you and keep the suggestions rolling.

I've asked this very same question to my pro shop guru and may have a surprising answer. He recommended a Heat Blast. I am trying to build a small but fairly versatile arsenal around the original inferno, was advised to get an Action as a step up and the Heat Blast as a step down. My stats in Profile. I'm from New England, bowl mostly on christmas tree patterns w/ medium to less oil volume. No floods up here. Good luck.
