Every Urethane (Conventional and Reactive is made by combining a liquid polyol and a liquid isocyanate to make a solid urethane polymer. Brunswick has gone back to these foundations and developed a totally new polyol, combined with a radically new Liquid Crystal Isocyanate and Additive system in order to create Activator, a new Advanced Reactive material. Activator coverstocks features a layered molecular structure that improves both coverstock durability and overall ball reaction. By design, the Activator material can be formulated to independently control the ball's traction in the oil and reaction to the dry. This ability to control the Traction/Friction Response has been used to fine tune the Activator coverstock to match up with a new Ultra-Low Rg core creating the Inferno, a ball with unparalleled characteristics from the foul line to the pit. Inferno Advantages: In the front-ends: The Inferno's Activator coverstock is cleaner through the fronts, saving more reaction for the

<p>WHAT A WINNER COMPARED TO BRUNSWICK EARLY FUZE LINE. NO COMPARISON. LOVED THE WAY THIS BALL ZIPPED THROUGH THE FRONTS, AND PICKED UP IN THE MIDLANE. I DONT USUALLY CARE FOR BACKENDY STUFF, AND THIS ONE REALLY TURNED THE CORNER HARD FOR ME. MINE JUST DIDN'T LIKE ANY LENGTHY OIL. CONSTANT OVER/UNDERS AT MY HOME HOUSE. YET AT ANOTHER HOUSE IN TOWN WITH A 5 FOOT SHORTER PATTERN, SHOT A MEDIUM NINE FOR FOUR RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. I THINK WITH A DIFFERENT DRILL, I WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH HAPPIER WITH THIS BALL. TRIED SURFACE ADJUSTMENT, BUT JUST COULDN'T GET THE ROLL I WAS AFTER, BUT AT ANY RATE A DEFINATE WINNER FROM BRUNSWICK.</p>

For a Symetrical Ball with an aggressive coverstock, this ball moves once again very well. First game with the ball 288! Which is something I havent done since i owned an old Bone white XS! Typically I dont throw Brunswick stuff due to there poor rep, but i must say this ball has slighty changed my mind. So far this ball has excided my expectations! I'd really reccommend this ball if your looking for a ball after your second game. Grab one from aaabowlingsupply.com. Ron has Great prices! And tell him Brandon Ross from Columbus Ohio sent ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This ball is pretty awesome. The only thing i can say is that you might want to consider keeping the ball polished for house and league conditions but otherwise if its dull you will need a lot of oil out there so the ball doesnt lose energy. This is probably the most angular I have seen a ball ever. Some people say this ball sux but they probably used it on the wrong condition. I would say you could use this ball on Medium-Heavy to Heavy oil.Here are the specs: 3 in. Pin Pin kicked out an inch from ring finger up and right........ CG kicked out from the center of the axis. Bowling is a sport not a Hobby.

The Inferno is, at very least the most reactive polished ball that I've ever used. Where we bowl, the ball hooks too much, despite the fact that I only bowl with medium-high RPM's. Brunswick really accentuated their technology by crating a polished ball that can hook anywhere near their well-known proactive-coverstock balls. I used to bowl with the Riot Zone, a proactive ball, that sometimes would "slip" on an inconsistently oiled lane...but the Inferno has some serious nasty backend...which sometimes saves your ass when you miss your mark just a hair to the right. This ball has some nasty "natural pocket" STRIKE potential! Please...for keeping the ball as nice as at truly is...don't use it at Midway Lanes.

Check my profile for my specs Info on the ball: 16lbs, 3-Inch pin, 4.5oz of top weight Drilling: Label drill with the pin 1 inch left of ring finger and the Cg in palm After hearing such good things about this ball I decided to try one, And this ball is simply amazing. I used the Inferno on a variety of shots but for the reviews sake I will only talk about the following three shots: 41-foot medium-heavy oil with fresh backends, A 35-foot shot with stripped backends and A broken down youth morning shot. Condition 1: 41-foot heavy oil with fresh backends This is the condition were this ball will shine. As long as there is some head oil you can play anywhere with this ball. I was playing around 15 at the arrows to about 7 at the breakpoint. The ball ignores the heads completely has great length and makes a strong controllable arc, and just completely destroys the pins. As long as I release it correctly I have more room with it then anything else in my bag. When the

words cannot described the effectiveness of this ball,but the first word that comes to mind-A W E S O M E!!!!!!!!!!!. the ball name should be called mass destruction, cause this what it do to the pins when it hits, anywhere, near the pocket. i'm left handed, stand on 33 throw the ball out to five then the hook takes over and destroy the pocket. great ball, must see it to believe it. i am now a believer. i would like to say to the brunswick people that not only is this a great ball, but the coverstock is very durable and hard. the ball after a month does not have any noticeable nicks or scratches. once again this ball is A W E S O M E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got another inferno because I liked the first one so much and I am starting to like brunswick a lot too. was drilled balance leverage and it hooks a ton. I didn't think it would hook so much more then my eliminator did. I was playing on medium oil wood but they have been resurfaced about a week ago and I could barely keep this ball on the lane. I definately can not play up the boards but this ball is great to swing or for more oil. I actually liked this one better then my first, and it is a very versital ball. It skids through the oil and then has a huge backend but sometimes it can be pretty hard to control but its very forgiving.

OK. Let's clarify something right now. This is not a ball which requires heavy oil, or even medium oil. It simply requires some amount of oil in the heads to get the ball where it needs to be. This ball goes very long and makes a nice, sharp backend turn towards the pins. Having said that, let me also state that I required about 5 good practice games before I really felt in control of this ball. It is not particularly forgiving and reacted quite sensitively to the slightest change in my delivery. I will personally use this as a 'down and in' ball, probably the first I grab out of my bag. The coverstock does as it is advertised and reads the backends well. I will be interested to see if I have the same loss of backend when carry occurs, but that has not yet happened. And hey, this ball looks great too and that matters.
