Is that Activator coverstock that weird or is is just me? It reacts like Urethane to me. And it does not recover, just ask Lonnie Waliczek. Mild as can be.
I have changed the cover with polish/sand/matte and just about anything in between. That ball is at best a med/dry ball.
Tell me where i am going wrong ball reviews experts
Mine is drilled 3 3/8 x 2 1/2 and it is not rolling out? My Profile will tell you my stats

I did find that the ball does burn up fairly quickly, and is meant to be used on oil. As the lanes would break down, the ball got weaker, hit soft, flat tens. I would move left off this reaction and holy s.... here it comes. Although I have only thrown this ball about 30 games, it is awesome.
Tech Supp is correct, you probably had to use an extra hole with this layout. If you had a decent top weight, you probably had to use a big, deep hole. This layout, big, deep extra hole, and Brunswick balls in general roll early, this ball is probably burning up too fast, or you need more oil. I don't agree though about the layout being weak. Any layout with the pin at 3 3/8 from your PAP is pretty strong, this is an aggressive pin position, no matter what.
It is hard to tell, talking about this on the internet. Watching is the best thing. I love my Storm balls, waiting for the new XXX, but I have to say, the Inferno is a great ball. (Front 10, Stone 8 pin last Weds in league, DAMN!!)

I dont know who said the layout was weak, I said mild arcing meaning it would burn up faster when encountering friction.It would be a smoother transition off the friction compared to a stacked layout.

Tech Support: Yes the ball has a weight hole. Compares to any one of these balls the Inferno is weaker. Savage 3 3/8 x 90d, Apex Adrenaline 4 x 70d, Pulse 1 3/4 x 0, Savage Flip 4 1/2 x 45d, Sling Blade 1 3/4 x 0, Silver streak 4 1/2 x 70d etc etc etc etc if u get my drift.
An ABC hall of famer with numerous titles was using his this week on the same line and shot that i used my savage flip.
Mumzie: Yes it needs dry, Very dry to react so this my point Brunswick states Med/Heavy oil. They need to change that statement to say Med/Dry with stripped backends.
Mike Austin: That explains it all. I hated the Trauma as well.
Another medium/heavy oil "as stated by the mfg" DARTBowlers Aid: I drilled it 3 3/8 x 30 because i wanted a med/hvy oil ball for tournaments and ABC/Super Hoinkes and this ball is a DART on med/heavy oil. I have drilled and used probably over 150 balls and this one is the most confusing I have ever thrown I think the Activator cover is one that smoothes the transition out and perhaps i could of drilled it stronger but, as i said i needed/wanted reaction/roll for more oil this ball is as i said a DART. I let my Proshop guy who is now drilling for ABC in Reno talk me out of a Blade Particle and into this ball.
Thanks all for your thoughts ..... i wanted to bounce my thinking of your assessments.

Hadn't used it completely for a full game yet as I was trying to figure out how to release it to get a good reaction out of it.
Well finally figured out today....had to throw a little differently than I normally do but when it looks like it is going right right, it just grabbed and it was like watching it make a sharp left turn right into the pocket. All I could say was "Holy ****!!"
Bowled a 227 in the only full game I have used it for as the strike bowl.
I like it.
