wondering what ball I should get? I loved my Ultimate but I'm
hearing great things about the Scorchin. What should I do?

He got it polished to a UI cover and used that. he said it was really smooth, nice backend too.

Its hard to play with an inferno and not get burned. Last time I threw my inferno, the opposing bowler definitely got burned.

the february issue of bowling this month hit my mailbox today and the first ball they tested was the scorchin' inferno. they said it was the biggest hooking ball from brunswick that they had ever tested. they also said it hooked earlier, hooked more in the midlane, and hooked more on the backend than the ultimate. they also said most players would need to smooth the surface as well.
they are similar just the scorchin is way better

I've had an Ultimate for about 9 months and it's a great ball. It is sarting to loose its abilities in the very fresh oil, so I've smoothed it out by putting a 2000 grit shine on it. It still hits and works superbly for me.
I added a scorching and so far it's just too much. I'm going to change the surface tonight from the OOB finsih and try it at 1000 grit. We'll see....
P.S. Both balls are drilled exactly the same... exactly the same pin length, pin position, and CG position.

Well, I used the Scorchin' Inferno today frash at 1000g for a tournament today. I practiced a game in the standard house shot and the ball worked great! Went much longer and then snapped sharply. Shot a 279 before I went off to the tourney.
The tourney shot was much different. More of an out of bounds, flatter shot as well. The ball didn't work the same as on the THS... probably could have used it kept at 600 grit! I shot 1171 for 5 games, including a 288 (front 10) the last game.
Bottom line: I think I'll keep the SI at 1000g for league play and we'll see what happens!
