Post by: TheBowlingKid25 on August 19, 2005, 02:42:52 PM: Its extremely condition specific. Sometimes it works wonders, other times its totally useless. For me, I only pull that out if I really have nothing else thats working, and thats just to see what it will do. It stays in the bag most of the time.

I've honestly seen about close to 100 "Good" bowlers throw it(mostly collegiate players, scratch bowlers and a handful to PBA players), only a very small percentage actually said it was great or they liked it.

-You'd better come with it because everytime I step on that approach I bowl to strike and I bowl to win. I don't believe in intimidation, I don't believe in fear, I believe in one pharse Win or go Home and that It don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing!Because no matter what its still 60 feet to the head pin no matter where you are.

Post by: RSalas on August 20, 2005, 11:12:45 PM: My Intense was drilled 2L, and like others who have replied, I found mine to be condition-specific. In fact, it was effective only on conditions with some head oil but a well-defined dry area either to the right or in the back part of the lane. However, when I had a condition like that, there was nothing better in the bag.

I should also mention that I took the cover of my Intense down to 600 smooth, which did help it read the midlane somewhat.

That sounds exactly right. Mine WAS drilled 5 x 3, pin down below fingers. It would really flip off the dry. I just couldn't control it on most conditions. I came in 7th in a doubles tourney with the ball, averaged 216 for 16 games, partner averaged 203. Good ball if you can find the right condition....

Post by: Mike Austin on August 21, 2005, 11:34:28 AM: I really like my Intense Inferno. Pin over the fingers on my span line, cg on my span line, makes this ball about a 4 1/2 X 4 1/2.

It is very predictable to me. Works well on house shot, some PBA shots. It is earlier than my Backyard Bully, and some earlier than my Xception. Sharp breakpoint, hits good. I keep it pretty shiny.

Will admit that I haven't done great with this ball in the shop. Have sold about 5-6, the least of any of the Inferno balls.
