Big One is at I believe 4000 grit or 2000 grit.  Infinite One is at 500 grit.  Infinite one is more for heavy oil, being early, and smooth.  Big One is mainly for medium-heavy, have more backend than the Infinite One.

Well also the cover stocks are different you have the big one with 11.2 gb and the infinite one has gb 12.1 so a much stronger coverstock. Plus the weight blocks are different as well. The big one has a Centrex Symmetrical Mass Bias core and the infinite one has a the same core but inverted. So yes the infinite one is made for more oil then the big one and it will be smoother off the break point then the big one hope this helps.

For me there was a huge difference.  The Big One actually moved and had some back end and the Infinate One was a rock; ended up on the used ball rack after about 10 games.  I'd buy the Big One again in a heart beat.

Even when used in different houses with plenty of oil, the Infinate one just didn't move like the Big One.

The infinite one needs a lot of oil up front.  Really high volumes.  It will expend energy very quickly so make sure there is enough in the heads before using it.  On the flip side, I do have a friend with an elbow problem, and is using an Infinite One two pounds lighter.  He is able to swing it and the ball makes a huge move (21 on the foul line drop zone, break at 8th board).  His IO is a bit polished due to being used a lot (oob was 500).  And this is on long patterns.  Goes to show it all really relative.

But generally speaking, the Big One is really the more versatile ball.  You can sand it down to 500 and it will be able to handle some serious oil.  Think of the Big One as semi auto and the Infinite as an elephant gun (i.e. very specialize)

Get all of 'em!!  Don't be shy, jump right in!!!

Big One was more smooth, arcy.  Infinite One was oil ball with box surface.  About the same total hook as Scorchin Inferno.  Infinite hit good.  I liked the Big One off my hand, but it seemed to ring 10 pins a lot.

The One series were good balls.

with infinite one i can pretty much do what i want on the lane, so bad that the coverstock was messed up by a crappy pro shop

even w/o the original finish, i did lots of things, playin down and in fast or hookin the entire lane. i actually liked my infinite one a lot, but well just didnt purchase another

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.
