900 Global Respect / Moxie vs Brunswick Ultimate Inferno
« on: December 12, 2014, 06:07:41 PM »
I've owned the Ultimate Inferno years ago and both these ball use the same or very similar core even the core numbers are similar if not identical. Tell me, besides the covers how do these balls differ at all? Or is this just another recycled core rebadged under a different vendor?

ThomasR I give you one point for you answer on the asym/sym core answer because I was wrong on what i remembered but the argument of differently engineered vs modified I think is subjective. I am only agreeing with the OP on the cores looking the same, no doubt changes can be made for desired reactions for the intended purpose of the ball being designed.

Blazing Inferno
The Blazing Inferno is a higher RG version of the original Inferno. Even though the inner core shape is the same as the
Inferno, 1.17 pounds of weight have been moved from the inner core to the outer core. This shift in weight results in a
significantly more cover heavy ball. The RG-min of the Blazing Inferno is 0.068” higher and the RG-diff is 0.017” lower than the original Inferno. This change in mass distribution allows the Blazing Inferno to be a better match-up when reduced traction through the heads and the mid-lane are desired.

I will however give you 1000 points and a pat on the back for being on here and answering questions. You deserve a raise or a straight jacket for that lol.
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

Manufactures do this often with cores making one symmetric and using the same core offset for an asymmetric version

I'm not quite sure where you heard this, but I've never heard of this before... Asymmetry is dictated by the shape of the core in relation to the X,Y and Z axis.  Off setting a core would do nothing more than create grossly out of spec pin outs/top weights.

To say this core was developed by A/G is a bit of a stretch. It may be modified to fit there demands but the shapes are the same.


Again, there is no denying the shape of the core being similar.  The word developed is accurate however, as our engineer had to design and build the core, from 3D modeling to complex density calculations.  If inspiration or influence was pulled from somewhere else, than that's what it was, not a modification.


In my line of work, we call this reverse engineering.
