Hey Bruns fam, I was gifted a Vintage Inferno. Before I go get it drilled, what's everyone's experience been thus far?

It was the strongest pearl on the market when it was introduced. A lot of its strength came from the rough buff finish that was a new concept at the time. Very rolly for a pearl. Probably its best attribute was the long life of the Activator shell. I put well over 100 games on mine with literally no maintenance and it acted just as good as out of the box.

You received a nice gift! Put your favorite layout and enjoy!

Haha, nice! Please note this is the rerelease, not the OG Inferno - https://brunswickbowling.com/products/balls/retired/vintage-inferno
Seems like a versatile piece from what I've seen - excellente news.

That was its successor, the Absolute Inferno, the original one came polished. This, together with a very low RG core, made it very rolly and responsive to the dry. However, the original Activator coverstock was a really durable material - not certain how the remake compares, though.

Rough buff was polished. Original Inferno was rough buff finish
