Hey everyone,

Late last season, I picked up a Blazing because they were going dirt cheap on bowlingball.com. When I first got it, I figured it would be a good dry condition ball for me. It sat in the bag with very little use for the first six months. Then I began using it during practice sessions. During that time, I realized that the ball had a lot more potential than I was giving it credit for. With that in mind, I began using it late in the night, when my more aggressive stuff starts reading too early. Recently, however, I've found myself pulling this one out more as a first ball out of the bag on my second-shift mixed league, and even last night during men's league when the lanes seemed to be grabbing earlier than normal. In those last two sets, during which I used the Blazing exclusively, I shot 719 and 733. The ball just seems to crush everything. I can stand around 24, hit 18 or so at the arrows and just watch it arc and smash all night long. If I get it in a little bit, the ball rolls enough to pop the corners out. If I get it a bit wide, it reads the dry boards and roars back to the hole. I don't know, it's just like the more I use this ball the better it gets. Has anyone else seen these results with the Blazing?

Wrong ball nodsleinad. Blazing Inferno is what he was talking about. Yeah I love my blazing inferno as well. I have mine drilled with the pin almost even put a hair lower than the finger grips. When I first got it, it was over under city and I wasnt sure about it. I changed the cover then it was the best thing I had in the bag. I would pull it out and people were in trouble. I shot 279 with it in league last year. Now I use it when the lanes dry up a bit. I have since then polished it up alot and I love it. But I could actually move to the right and pick it up and carry the world with it.

Guys.  The Blazing is a great ball.  The problem was that there were actually three different ones.  One batch was made to fit, another batch hooked a ton, and still another batch went very straight.  That is the reason they were discontinued so quickly.  That came directly from a someone at Brunswick.  Shoot, I can't remember the name.  Anyway, I was at a trade show and we discussed that as the problem with the ball.  Now, with that said, I did like the one that I had.  Some great scores with it.

Who needs a 300 or 800, when I have a 294 and a 295!?!?!

With my Blazing and Smokin', I have the best two ball combo ever created by Brunswick. I start out with the Smokin' then switch to Blazing as the outside dries a little and the middle is still a little too slick for the Smokin'. Then I move deeper and switch back to the Smokin'. Then back to Blazing and so on and so forth. The Blazing is so great. It is a medium oil ball for me and is a little stronger than I predicted but still one of the best balls I own.

Oh well, the OI is out of stock in ozzieland now, still Blazings up for grabs and i've got me one!! 2-3" pin 2 1/2oz top, sounds like a good candidate for my fav. 4x2 or 5x3 layout. The bag is now full for the rest of this yr!

My Blazing is getting more play recently, since I tweaked the cover.  Great ball to cover medium to light oil.  Used it in a 9 pin tourney, Hit the 1/2 pocket every shot, Left the bucket in 6th frame of 1st game and an 8 count in 12th of second. Went 276, 298, 300 11 naturals in the last game.  Tapped a 10 in the ninth, cost me beer frame.
