Title: Big R Bang vs Intense Inferno
Post by: EFFEN 10 on January 24, 2007, 10:15:30 AM

Considering replacing my Intense with the
Big R Bang.Other than color, how do they
compare?Are they similar in length and
breakpoint shape?

Since I've only had the Intense and not the BigRBang, I can't say definitively, but based on all the reviews and the comments here, I'd guess they are fairly similar overall.  Length with lots of flip for the average bowler and the average drill. Both are medium oil balls.

Aside:
Many people tend to drill such balls with the pin over the bridge area in order to get more length, when they are already "length" balls. That drill accentuates their skid/flip tendencies and then people complain the ball is no good.

Thanks for the reply charlest.That's what I thought,but I wanted
some one else to confirm. By the way, I asked my ball driller to
drill my II for a HARD ARC,not flip. Pin is to the right and just
below my ring finger with the CG in my palm. This drill doesn't
overreact for me on oily house shots.And I think I'm one of the few
people who really liked their II.

I liked mine a lot too and was forced to defend it even on the Brunswick forum. ha! But even I found too few uses for it. Your driller is one sharp guy; few people would realize that that drill would soften it just enough to be really useful. Darned thing moved pins pretty good when I could use it.
