I throw the ball about 16 to 18 miles per hour, and with this ball I am getting a tremendous rolling out at the end.  It never hits that great breakpoint that other reviewers seem to be getting.  As well, if the ball does get a reaction, it burns up in the first 40 feet of the lane.  Anyone have any ideas?  Has anyone tried putting a slight polish on the ball so that it goes longer?  Get back to me with some advice.

Great improvement over the previous particle pearl from brunswick, the Riot Zone.  I have mine with a 5 inch pin located 2 inches above, and in between the fingers.  Carries great.  Rolls through fresh and burnt out heads with ease.  Great back end,  really complements the inferno, when there is just too much oil.  What a great particle pearl

Drilled - Pin under Ring Finger,
Cg kicked out, small X-hole 1" below PAP
Coverstock - Grey Scotchbrite, reshined w/NeoTac #2

Drilled exactly like my Original Inferno in hopes it would compliment it. Not really what I expected but still a great ball. Not a monster, conserves more energy then most particles I've thrown. This ball is earlier/smoother than the original, with less overall hook. Yeah I said less (for me anyway). When the pattern is too spotty for the orignal Inferno, this ball evens out the lane. Keeps me in control on medium/oily conditions, which is the most important thing in my opinion. A definite tournament ball that makes the trip to all of my PBA events. The carry is similar to the Original.

Im curious to see how long this particle lasts since it does have that Activator shell. Probably the most impressive, most durable, longest lasting coverstock I have ever seen.

15 lbs, 4 inch pin.
I put the pin under and between the fingers, put the cg down two inches and out, small balance hole. This ball gets decent length, but it revs the entire lane. It starts to roll in the midlane, and rolls extremely hard and heavy on the back end. Carry isn't anything special, carries high better than light. If I got the ball to the dry it just jumped straight left. So therefore i had to keep it in the 70 units of oil around the 19th board and let it out no further than 12. Overall an awesome ball for oil, as long as there is a hint of friction to turn it over.

16 lb - Drilled aggressively with 2 oz side weight.

Out of the box scores for 140 league average bowler.

202
222
208

Yes, my first 600 series straight out of the box.  I now have 2 more 200 games than I did with my previous ball.  This ball hits extremely hard in and out the pocket.  The ball slipped brooklyn a couple of times and other times hit high on the head pin but still strike.  This ball is perfect for medium to low revs people with problems with backend break.

    I am a lefty that has good ball speed at 17-19 mph at any given time and has quite a few revs.  Bought this ball looking for a soup ball and got just that only problem was there wasnt soup thick enough for it.


drilling:            0 0
                     p


                  cg  0


Amazingly enough no balace hole needed.  I drilled this just like my inferno.  It revs up very quickly and does not snap just a very hard arc that doesnt quit
Couldnt find enough oil to support this ball with my high rev rate.  Tried polishing it but it was right where my inferno was so had no need for that.  Recomend this ball to any one with slow ball speeds or high ball speeds with not many revs.  I have since sold to one such person and he is doing wuite well with it.  It loves to hook and has that great hitting power that i have come to expect from the inferno line.  Another great ball from brunswick.

ball specs:

16 lbs
pin 2-3
top 2.5

Bowler specs
lefty
above average revs
above average speed

Drilled this one up 3 3/4 x 2 1/2

this ball revs up nice in the midlane with this reaction  and as a very hard arc to the pocket....  at first, the coverstock was too aggressive so i polished this ball up to 2000 grit with protraktion from track...

on a scale of 1-10 this ball is a solid 8

I have had the Raging for a couple of months now and I am more than happy with it.

Pin is IN the ring finger and cg kicked out right about 1 1/2in. The ball gets good length for a particle. It transitions itself very well down the lane. It rolls up soon and has a strong move on the backend, VERY readable when it makes its move.

This is by far the best Brunswick ball I have ever used. It does not have the early roll of the ZONE line, the weak backend of the FUZE line. When the condition is right to use this ball I wonder how the pins are not breaking in half when they get hit.

For most this is going to be an oil ball, for me it is a "benchmark" ball. A ball to start with and see what the lanes are doing. If it rolls up too soon I need to go to a weak ball, if it rolls up too late I would go to the Phenom Unleashed.

9/10 on this ball. It would be a perfect 10 if it were not for bad reaction in carrydown.

Got mine last week and it's not what i expected. I expected a ball that had

that type of coverstock to go a little long; not like X-factor long but

reasonably long. It hooks alot but it hooks too early and doesn't burn out.

It keeps hooking!  It's nothing a 1000 grit won't fix. The reaction is good,

early but good. It hits very strong; better than anything I have that's

brunswick( including my Danger Zone).

Long Story short,if you want something that is a hook monster (in oil), unlike

other balls that skid, the Raging is something you definitely want to look

into.Overall great ball for 40ft patterns and 45+ units of oil.

for everyone who's happy with it out of the box, talk to me in 2 months. i got my raging in mid december and loved it. fresh from the mill machine shot 248. it carried everything. The ball was strong for about a month (15-20 games), then it completely died. It won't make a break to the pocket, regardless of lane condition. the ball reaches the break point and simply rolls out. After talking to a local pro shop, i came to find out brunswick is discontinuing the raging for just that reason. it burns up quickly and is never the same after. i got mine resurfaced (which is unacceptable after 15-20 games), and don't expect much out of it. I now have a high rev, high preformace, high dollar spare ball.

Hello, I just got my Raging Inferno at the Pro - Am tourn. in Taylor Mi.(March 13, 2004)

I got it drilled as soon as I got home. It was drilled in an E1 1/2 pattern according to the drilling instructions and all I can say, is thank god for brunswick!

After bowling with the Raging, I will never go back to my old Spirit for strikes again.

Thanks for the great ball, Brunswick.

Overall, I like the ball, it's an improvment over my Spirit.

just got it dulled today (800 grit) it evened out the hooking so much! I can't beleive I didn't do it sooner. Dulling really helped me control it.

Ive got at least 450 games on it, and It still hooks like new.

89/100

date: May 02/2004

^nevermind..... Im an idiot^, this ball is very versitile, has a monster hook and can shoot spares. Its the whole package baby.

Awesome ball indeed

I got this ball drilled and shot my highest series ever

237,300,290 for a nice 827

I have carried on most conditions with this ball but i have found the original surface seems to be better than when polished up.

I am now lloking forward to trying the ultimate inferno........
