In theory, wouldn't the core in the Scorchin' be "rollier" by nature than the core in the Big One?  Therefore, generally, wouldn't the Scorchin', with the same layout, same surface prep, be generally "rollier" than the Big One?  However, if you want to talk overall hook, I would venture to say that at the same grit (lets say 1000 grit abralon, just for kicks) the Big One MIGHT hook more than the Scorchin', just from how strong everybody says the GB 11.2 cover is...IIRC, the Scorchin' comes in at 600 grit, the Big One at 4000, big difference.  All things considered, I again, generally, would say the Scorchin' would be "rollier" (though from what i've seen it does clear the heads quite nicely) whereas the Big One would probably make a bigger move on the backend.

--Disclaimer--

I have not thrown the Scorchin' Inferno, I have only thrown the Big One.  I have thrown a LOT of Ebonite gear in the last year and a half and only a sparce number of Big B balls, therefore it is possible that my opinion may be biased.  However, I do drill at a shop with a Hammer staffer, and we sell a lot of Brunswick gear (especially the Vapor Zones) and a lot of Ebonite gear (Ones, Big Times, Ices, etc.) so I try to keep my opinions as unbiased as I can.  Also, though I have thrown the big one, i've got less than 10 games on it so I definitely can NOT give a thorough review of the ball.  I doubt I will be drilling a Scorchin' because I do have some balls that are stronger than the Big One (all particle) and wouldn't have a need for the Scorchin'.  I think i've covered all bases, I'm done for now

Nick is right, it seems like the good/bad - yin/yang battle of Ebonite and Brunswick.
personally ive thrown 1 ebonite ball, the red wolf solid, i wasnt impressed at all.
1 havent tried an ebonite since then.

personally i think us Brunswick users are on the dark side, burning down the house the way we do with the Inferno series.

Boy do I love bowling, stone 8,stone 9, ringer 7,fly by 10,fast six got to love this game.  Short look at what most of my games look like with a few strikes peppered in between.  Isn't it wonderful.

Jkiser i not going to argue in box on both is quite a bit different but i have to disagree i saw a guy throwing the big one last weekend and he had a bit of hand and it didnt impress me with its hookability by any means.  The hookiosity of the big one might be there for some on the big one but i was watching these fudgers hook the entire lane on same pattern with the scorchin..  To each is own though I wont discredit the big one the one was huge for me after i adjusted the cover and the big one im sure would be even bigger so they are both good choices.
