Looks like an Inferno remake? The sketch on the poster lokks as if it was taken form a Smokin' Inferno, but the RG numbers tell it has the OI core.

Good luck!

Someone with good contacts at Brunswick said it's Activator+ which should make it an Absolute Inferno, but the spec sheet it came with lists it a higher durometer than an AI.

Might be a trivial difference...

It's no longer OOB anyhow.  It was suggested that it take a trip on a resurfacing machine to knock the engraving filler down.

I've got one sitting in the box I havene't drilled yet. It looks amazing. Very bright with big logos. I'm sure it will roll great being that its Brunswick and I've had a ton of luck with their overseas stuff.

It's just an overseas Smokin Inferno. Great ball.


Nope, and quite frankly the core numbers alone should hint at that.

It is what it is... The numbers aren't close enough to really even match the Absolute Inferno specs, but that's as close as one really can get.
