Mine wasn't...in fact, it wasn't similar to *either* of the original Infernos that I had.  Both the later pour and the remake were substantially pushier and sharper at the break than the first Inferno that I got back in 2003.







That's exactly what I see.

The overseas release? A couple of months ago, some OI remakes hit the local pro shops, and they sold well. They looked just like the 1st generation Inferno, but had also "Original" engraved in the logo.

Before those there were some that were sold I believe by Ace Mitchell. I picked one up last year as a backup to my OI which I hope never dies or cracks. Only difference in looks I see is a larger Activator logo and the swirls are less mixed. Have not drilled it to know the reaction difference yet.

Is the Rattler going to be almost like the Sidewinders that came without particle?

LL,

Yes.  The Rattler has the Sidewinder core with the Inferno cover (Activator).

I have an overseas release of the Original Inferno NIB. It is the Revolution Real Speed which is supposed to be the same ball.

PM me if interested.

Do those who have used both?  See the reaction as similar.
