Inferno line question
« on: March 09, 2007, 01:45:21 AM »
I was just wondering what the main difference and similarities between the Scorching and Absolute Infernos?

Thanks

The absolute has a lot more of a backend snap while the scorchin has a long continuous arc to the pocket. Personally, the absolute is more predictable than the scorchin.
If you would like as to how mine are drilled up, pics are in my profile.

I have the absolute and love it.  A friend of mine as the scorching and I was thinking about buying it off him.  

Thanks for the input.

IME, with the same surface prep, the Scorchin' is about two boards stronger overall, and sharper at the break than the Absolute.  Also, I've found that the Absolute (as with all of the balls with the Activator+ cover) will break down a lane faster than the Scorchin'.
