Smokin Inferno White Pin

I bought this ball to go along with my Smokin' red pin. I ordered the ball with 3 oz top, 3 inch pin. Ball is layed out with pin 5 1/8" from PAP, CG 3" from PAP. This layout put the pin to the 8 o'clock of my middle finger, and the CG just below and outside of my centerline. The ball was advertised to go a little longer than the original, with slightly less hook potential. I don't feel that accurately describes the ball's performance. I find the ball hooks just as much, sometimes more, than the original. I found two major differences between the two balls. The white pin does not rev up as fast or as much as the original, which causes a slightly delayed reaction. Secondly, the white pin is capable of covering more boards than the original. If the bowler prefers to swing the ball, this is the better choice of the two. As for the coverstock, I am NOT convinced it's the same as the original. The surface seems significantly harder and holds a polish longer than the red

I think this is a decent ball and really good on medium to light oil depending on layout. I am able to run it out to 5 and bring it back or play in to about 15 and it holds nicely. Now if I could just figure out when to make these moves, maybe I could put together more consistent series together, although have been averaging about 220 for the last 6 weeks with this ball. Only real knock on the ball is it has a tendancy for some ringing 10 pins. I think if I adjusted the surface, I could get it to match up better in heavier oil, but I enjoy the reaction on the drier conditions. So I will look for a new ball for heavy oil patterns

I am a 190 avg. bowler. Just bought this ball because of a special price it had. Had this ball drilled with the pin above my ring finger (I am a right-handed bowler) and the cg kicked out to the right. This ball surprised me, it would go long and boom itself right back to the pocket. Used it in a house shot where there is medium oil and a sharp backend. Shot in a singles tournament 830 in 4 games. On another day started right off with a 264 game. But once carrydown is a issue, ball goes right back to the locker. This has been the best ball I ever had, however I can't compare to the regular red pin one because I never had it.
