Jeff, the Inferno is a good-hard hitting ball........."on the right conditions."....... If you've kept up with the Inferno, you will note that a number of people on this site, myself included, have complained about too much over/under and also leaving 10 Pins. I tried various sandings and polishings to make this ball more controllable and the best luck I had (with what luck I had on this ball) was a 1500 wet sand and no polish. Some people had their best luck at 2000 wet sand and no polish. I sold mine as I found better choices. I haven't thrown the Bruiser and Smash R, but from what I've seen from other people throwing them, they are excellent choices.
