Since there are many balls in the Inferno line, I would like to get everyones opinion on what was their most liked and disliked Inferno. Thanks Brian

This is obviously predicated on the amount of oil you regularly encounter:

INTENSE (just a wee bit more surface - light touch with a green scotch-brite)
Original (as long as the layout is weak)
Raging & Ultimate tied for 3rd (never use)
Blazing - sold both

Hey "Next Level", a half million would be wonderful, but not accurate. The Ultimate is the #1 ball of the year though. Guess who's Back...Brunswicks Back.

Ultimate
Inferno
Raging
Intense
Blazing

Several bowlers around have all of then and they overall like all of them. Depending on the condition depends on what they throw. But yes the Ultmiate is by far the ball of the year.

MY buddies is 15 pounds. hes a lefty the pin is above brindge between fingers and the cg is kicked to the right a little so its negative for him and its hsi light oil bal and it hooks when he playes in the dry.

Who's noone?  And, I don't know why he likes the Blazing. I liked mine because it was so clean through the front and hits great.

1. It hooked less than the rest of them, as it was designed to do; many people do not like smaller hooking balls.

2. A 2nd or subsequent runs were very irregular, according to several posts here on ballreviews by various people, and they reacted with even less hook than expected, as if there were a problem with the mixture of the coverstock chemical material.

Ultimate!!!!
Intense!!!!

Haven't bothered looking at the other Inferno's.  Don't think they could make a better ball than the 2 I've listed (strictly my opinion).

1.  The original Inferno.
2.  (tie)  All of the other Infernos.

To me, the original is versatile;  I can make it work on a range of conditions from medium-heavy to fairly dry.  IME the rest of the Infernos are much more condition-specific.

I loved the original.  In fact probably too much.  It is so versatile that I orginally used it places where I shouldn't.


Great comment, Bob.  Many of us fall into that same trap from time to time.  The same can be said for drills.
