Inferno vs Raging Inferno
« on: October 12, 2003, 06:47:28 AM »
I have a question some of you guys that have thrown both balls might be able to answer. I currently have an Inferno drilled pin above bridge and I absolutely love the reaction I get out of it. I can use it on just about any condition short of longer medium to heavy patterns. I was wondering if I bought a Raging Inferno and had it drilled the same way if there would be a considerable amount of difference in the amount of hook, and if I would be able to cover these patterns I can't use my regular Inferno on. If not, what drilling pattern would be more appropriate. I'm a member of the University of Tennessee's mens team so take the tournament shots I will run up against into consideration. Thanks a bunch!

Brandon

I wish I could tell you, but I haven't hit a shot yet with enough oil to use my Raging Inferno effectively. I have 3 Infernos, 1 polished with pin over bridge and CG under ring finger, 1 polished with pin over ring and cg stacked under ring, and a dull one with pin over ring and cg stacked under ring. My Raging is drilled with the pin over the ring and CG in the center of the palm. It's burned up wherever I've tried to use it, so it's quite a bit stronger than the Inferno in my opinion. You wouldn't be able to throw a Raging on the same lane as the Inferno and expect the Raging to hook more. It doesn't work that way. In my experience, if the Inferno is working, the Raging Inferno is going to use up too much energy and not hook as much. However, if the lane is so oily that your Inferno isn't moving, then the Raging Inferno would hook more than the Inferno. The exception to the above would be if you were playing on a condition with a large differential between the wet and the dry. The Raging might give you a better line swinging it in the oil out to the drier portion and back to the pocket with less over/under than the regular Inferno.
