Title: Original Inferno good complement to the Absolute Inferno?
Post by: Loudstriker on July 25, 2005, 07:23:29 AM: Is the Original Inferno a good complement to the Absolute? I am getting an OI but there are times when my AI is hooking too much and I just want something below that. Will the OI be good for that? I imagine it would be great for that especially with a nice control layout.

If memory serves right, the Absolute is weaker than the Original Inferno! I may be wrong but I believe the Blazing Inferno or the Monster Slay/R would be your next move to being tamer cover wise.

DUCK FALLAS!

The AI is stronger than the OI and I wanted a step down from the AI.

For me, the Ab is about three to five stronger than the original, with both balls in box condition and drilled with the same layout (5 x 5, no XH).

Post by: agroves on July 25, 2005, 03:59:38 PM: With the same surface prep, I thought both were very close. IMO, a better and cheaper alternative would be a Punisher. You should have any problems lining up with that after the absolute starts jumping.

Never tried the Ab with High Gloss Polish, but I know a couple of guys who did, and for them, the overall amount of hook was close, but the Ab was longer and *much* more angular at the break.

What do you need eight NIB Infernos for? You can only use one at a time.

Post by: sportbowler on July 25, 2005, 07:06:00 PM: Loud I had a OI and currently have a AI now, and a OI is a very good complement to your AI. BUT you have a II and the II is very similar to the OI, IMO. I'm not sure what you use your II for now but the OI might be very similar to it.

Post by: Moe on July 26, 2005, 01:02:51 AM: I have an ai and an oi,

AI drilled pin above bridge, with a small hole on my pap.

OI pin above ring finger, with a crater above my pap to remove excess top weight.

Impression: the OI complemnts the AI perfectly, when the AI starts checking up early and comming up high, i can break out the OI and stand in the same spot throw the same line and smash the pocket.

For me the Activator+ is much stronger than the origional activator. Which i beleive was the purpose.
