Scorchin' for heavy oil?
« on: July 13, 2007, 05:22:08 AM »
I know Brunswick advertises this as a heavy oil ball, but is it any more for oil than a Total Inferno or Fury?  Thanks for all responces,

IMO, the scorchin, with the proper drilling is excellent for heavy oil. My boy has two of them and he loves it when the lanes carrydown so he can use them. Another friend of mine kicked my behind with one on a 41 ft. flooded pattern in which he got great reaction out of it. I have a Fury that I experimenting with and I think the scorchin would give me what I'm looking for.

Scorchin is great for heavy oil. Used mine on shark playing up 7/8. Ball would just make that hard arcing turn into the pocket. Keep it dull for higher speed, but you can polish/surface up and make it more versatile, but if you polish it you just need to slow it down for the ball to react and hook.

All three are great for heavy oil. Because the Scorchin was the first of the three it is slightly less aggressive up front. I like to go to mine when I need a little more pop on the back end.

The Scorchin' CAN be used on heavy oil, BUT both the Fury and the Wizard have coverstocks that will read the lane earlier assuming you've got the same surface on each of them.

I have used the Wizard and Fury on some pretty slick PBA patterns and they are almost as good as the Ambush and the new Sidewinder (1000 abralon) on oil.

The Activator cover of the Scorchin' goes a little longer, so you may have to make surface adjustments depending on your style.  Good luck.

I have my Scorchin' and Fury both drilled the same with box surfaces.  The Scorchin' starts earlier with a more gradual move to the pocket.  The Fury is an overall more aggressive ball but is more angular.

--------------------------------------------------------

Both balls do not come with the same surface from Brunswick.  One is 600 grit and the other is 800 grit. If they were finished the same, the Activator cover should go slightly longer than the Octane cover of the Fury.

Lefty,

My Scorchin' was better for me after I shined it, way better. My Wizard, and Fury, and Ambush, and Sidewinder, and Mammoth are all better suited for oil in my experience.
