Brunswick Vintage Inferno Bowling Ball

Layout: 65° x 4 3/4 x 40° The announcement of the Vintage Inferno had me more excited than any previous Vintage line ball. The Original Inferno is the ball that made me stick with only Brunswick Equipment. Everyone and their mother had this ball, and with good reason. The 2017 version does the original justice. I decided to lay out the Vintage Inferno the same way I did my Burgundy Ringer. The reason for this was I liked the overall shape of the Ringer, and with the improved cover stock of the Vintage Inferno, I was looking forward to being to use it on some heavier conditions than the Ringer. What I got was nothing short of spectacular. The Vintage Inferno skips through the front, picks up really strong in the midlane, and gives me that strong arc that I love seeing in the back. On typical house shots, shot wide of target truck back hard. Shots missed inside of target, due to the strong midlane, don't hold as well as some past balls, but the recovery I have missing out makes up for that. While I usually prefer solid colored balls, the color scheme of the Inferno gives me a good read as to what the ball is doing. If looking for a great overall house shot ball, the Vintage Inferno would definitely solve that. While I haven't used it much on harder conditions, I can envision the strong midlane of the ball working well on medium length patterns, since it should help control the backend reaction.
