Pin above the bridge drilled Original Inferno. However, the Intense Inferno go ling and comes back. I'm not a fan of it though. That or if you looking for an Activator cover, try a Classic Zone.

Absolute Inferno, or Intense Inferno. I have roughly the same style as you, and I have an Absolute, drilled label leverage. It goes long enough, and it can handle medium heavy oil well. The II, is longer, with a more pronounced arc on the backend. Either ball is great, but I have heard that the II is a bit condition specific.(might be why some people are not fans of it.) The AI is better for use on a broader range of conditions. I would go with the AI.
Hope this helps!

If you have a competent driller, who knows your style and what you want the ball to do, you WILL find that the AI, will match up well for you.

I can't speak for anyone, but myself: everyone I've seen roll it or those I've talked who have thrown it aren't amused. It has seemed to tank. I'm sure some others here love it, but I know none in my area including pro shop personnel that like it. Every other Inferno has been really good except the Blazing came and went. I've seen more positive reviews for it though. I haven't hear denough about the Raging Inferno to comment.

The Intense is generally better for the dryer side of medium. It can handle medium, but med heavy is where it gets kind of jumpy.
Also, due to it's strong coverstock (Activator+) It is a bit too much for dry conditions. Medium-dry in general.

There's a reason why Brunswick is so popular!


This reply is what I hear most often about this ball. It is a bit condition specific, but it totally OWNS on the right condition.

I'd say it moves well. I'll let Lefty there answer the cover question.

It's a pearl ball, but it dosen't have a high gloss polish on it like most pearls. It is called Rough Buff. You should not need to sand it if you are playing 2nd arrow.(what I play) It will hook PLENTY in box finish. But if you really want more hook, it CAN be sanded. I'd give it a shot in box finish first.

Box finish should be enough for anyone playing up the track. It's my humble opinion that if you need to sand an Absolute you are throwing the wrong ball. It's got to be hands down the best medium to medium heavy ball I've ever rolled.

most people say that a 2-3" pin, and 3 oz top weight gives the driller the most options layout wise.

My thought on top weight is since you sound like a stroker, you'd want more top weight to help with hitting power. On pin placement, I believe putting the pin 3 3/8" from the your Positive Axis Point and Center of Grip and 12:00 aobve the Center of Gravity will maximize hook, won't help with length. Then you may need to polish/bring-up the coverstock. Feel free to correct me because I'm rusty on some things.

I worked at a bowling alley for a year, but not in the pro shop. I just love bowling, and I study this technical crap all the time. I spend literally hours a day reading stuff and talking to people trying to learn this stuff. It's confusing!
