Any of you "BrunsGuys" have any scoop on this ball? Since color affects reaction, what can I expect? Does the red/black color cause any noticable difference in reaction when compared to the normal Inferno with the orange/brown/smoke/whatever colors?

If you get caught in the Storm Track beware it could be a Typhon or Monsoon with Rolling Thunder and Lightning Flashes that when Unleashed may send splintered Wood flying everywhere.

I should just quit bowling, oh wait I already tried that.
Now that I am back and my Saws are sharp again, I am ready to cut some wood.

Is this a new addition to the Inferno line, where does it fall in line
to say the Ultimate, Raging and Intense Infernos ??
Post by: RandyO on November 10, 2004, 10:35:23 AM
I would like to hear from a Brunswick staffer/employee who's thrown one before I lay out the ball.

Sorry about the Crown Jewel. Actually, you're lucky that you got it away from me. My normal M.O. is that I don't even bid at all, then snipe in the last 10 seconds to steal the bid as cheap as possible. That prevents unecessary price-hiking. However, that crown jewel ended at 6-something in the morning Pacific Time, and since I don't wake up until at LEAST 8:30, I had to bid when I went to sleep.

In addition to the zone classic, impulse zone and fire quantum.
And the sad thing.........i'll get none of them ever.

Isn't it just an Inferno with a different color scheme?
And hasn't Brunswick released *enough* Infernos, already? I don't like any of them; they all hook at my toes.

I have one Inferno that DOESN'T hook at my feet:
http://www.pipeline.com/~randyo/arsenal/15%23%20Inferno%204.jpg
As a matter of fact, it barely hooks at all with that layout. BUT - it hits like a tank. However, it is exceptionally ugly. I'd rather haul around the red one. My "plan" is to drill up the red one just like the ugly one.
Given all the previous discussions about the effect coloring has on ball reaction, I thought it best to see if anyone has thrown this ball and could compare it to the orginal colored Inferno. If it turns out it might be weaker, I might kick the pin out just a tiny bit.
Leave us alone - don't you have some diapers to change??

As far as the Red PBA ball (Inferno), I will speak with a couple guys in R & D to find out what they saw from this ball. None of us outside of the factory have touched this ball. It does look nice though.

Maybe it's just me, but I have NEVER seen an inferno look that ugly. That rates up there with one of the worst looking balls I've seen.

But, I would like to replace it with an identical layout Inferno. The orange blotch feels different than the rest of the ball - almost like it's not reactive! I do track through that area, and every so often the ball doesn't react quite the way I think it should. That may be due to the orange blotch.

The ball looks like a Monster Red/Black. However, it rolls and hits like an Inferno. I didn't see any difference between this ball and a normal Inferno. The color does not seem to affect the reaction at all.

Looks like a decent deal - if there's a Pro-Am in your area. You pay $199 - you get to bowl the Pro-Am, and you get the lovely looking Red/Black Inferno.

That is AWESOME! SO, for the 140, I'd bowl the 3 games, get the little extra stuff like hat, etc?
That actually is cool! I think i'll convince my parents to let me do that instead of christmas gifts........Well i should say as a gift. It really is a good deal!
