Scorchin' Inferno Specs
Based on our Perfect Scale™ ratings, may we also suggest the following items.
The Scorchin' Inferno is an upgrade of the popular Ultimate Inferno™. The two color solid, sanded reactive coverstock combination has been one of the most popular in the industry. The Scorchin' Inferno uses this configuration with an upgraded version of Activator¦reg; coverstock called ActivatorMAX.
ActivatorMAX is the latest development in Activator coverstock technology. ActivatorMAX preserves the clean reaction through the heads that Inferno balls are known for while increasing mid-lane and back-end hooking action in heavier volumes of oil.
Extensive on-lane testing places the best RG match-up for ActivatorMAX at a slightly higher value than that used for the Ultimate Inferno. For maximum forgiveness and versatility the Scorchin' uses a higher Average-RG, and lower differential version of the Ultimate Inferno core.
When compared to the Ultimate Inferno, the Scorchin' Inferno has the unique Activator clean reaction through the heads with increased mid-lane recovery, break-point angularity, a higher hook potential and improved traction in heavy carrydown. The Scorchin' Inferno is a heavy oil ball designed for bowlers who prefer Reactive over Particle coverstocks.
Since 2003, Brunswick's line of Activator Coverstocks has established a reputation for excellence in ball reaction, durability and longevity of ball reaction. Activator Coverstocks offer a wide range of hook potentials and arc characteristics that enable bowlers to match-up to all but the driest of lane conditions.
Activator- Clean reaction through the heads combined with mid-lane recovery and a powerful back-end reaction.
Activator Particle- More traction in the oil. Smoother reaction off the dry.
Activator Plus- Amazing recovery and traction with the length of a pearlized ball.
Activator Advance- More length with increased angularity.
NEW- ActivatorMAX- Increased traction in the mid-lane and back-ends. The highest hook potential Activator. - NEW
Utility
Out of the box:The Scorchin' Inferno is an ideal heavy oil ball for players wanting to use a Reactive coverstock.
When shined:Using Brunswick's Factory Finish Rough Buff the total hooking action of the Scorchin' Inferno can be reduced and the arc made more skid/snap. Using Brunswick's Factory Finish High Gloss Polish the total hooking action will be further reduced and the arc made even more skid/snap.
Reaction Setup
The Scorchin' Inferno can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for two-piece balls, see the included drilling instructions for reaction characteristics and layout details. The Scorchin' Inferno is finished with a dull 600-grit surface which increases its hooking action in the oil. Dull surface finishes can sometimes hook too early resulting in reduced backend reaction and hitting power. To increase length, polish the surface with Brunswick's Factory Finish Rough Buff. To increase length and create and even more skid/snap reaction use Brunswick's Factory Finish High Gloss Polish.

I have been using MoRich for the last few years which i like very much. It was time for a new ball and tried the Scorchin' Inferno and WOW. The hook, the flip, and angle at the pocket was incredible. The ball acts exactly the way Brunswick says it will. Not a ball for a novice bowler. If you are looking for a great reacting ball through the oil, this is the bowling ball for you. Make sure you have a back up ball when the alleys start to dry up.

I have been bowling with Brunswick bowling balls since 1999. My average is 210 and I love Brunswick bowling balls. The Inferno series is probably the best line that Brunswick has every come out with thus far. I recently just purchased the Brunswick Scorchin' Inferno bowling ball from bowlingball.com, received it fast by the way, and bowled with it today and I am "TOTALLY" impressed with this ball. It has a tremendous hook, I have never seen anything like it before. I have two Brunswick Smokin Inferno's and they don't even compare to the hook of the Brunswick Scorchin' Inferno bowling ball. Put it like this, I tried to throw a washout and the ball just hooked up and hit the pocket, no matter how fast I threw it. "GREAT BALL", Thanks bowlingball.com!!!

Before I got the Brunswick Scorchin' Inferno I was an 185 average bowler. I bowl in two leagues at two different places. It was hard for me to find a ball that had a good shot at both places because the difference in the lane conditions. The first night I bowled in league with the Scorchin Inferno I bowled a 703. And these lanes hook the most between the two and it was great. Then I bowled the next night where the lanes where more oily then the first and I stayed at the second arrow all night and bowled a 742. So it is a versatile ball with great pin action.

I used to use a Brunswick Impulse Zone until I got my Scorchin Inferno. It is a great ball with a lot of hook. It is great on oily lanes but is not the best when the lanes get dry. Over all it's by far the best bowling ball Brunswick has made.

It was complete destiny that I got this ball. I actually got it OUT OF THE GARBAGE after a house bowler threw it away after a bad game. I took it out (it was sitting right on top- nothing on it) and held it behind the desk in case he came back for it the next day or something. WELL, he got 2 new balls and I got one for myself =) . The fingers were a little big, but nonetheless I still jumped from 198 - 219. This was before I vowed to stick with Hammer and is great on dry-medium lane conditions (for me anyway).

A very pleasant wake up call from Brunswick with this one. It's been a while since I've been a Brunswick fan. However, this one is amazing. The overall hook was much more than expected. The hitting power is much better than most Brunswick balls on the market. Layout: Pin is 5-1/2" from PAP, CG is 5-1/2 from PAP. Started with a pin 2' out. Top weight of 3.00 ounces. PAP is 5-1/2 over and 1/2 up. Factory finish with normal oil absorption rate from use. Was very fortunate to roll another 300 game the other night with it. It's been awhile, almost 5 years since the last one. Typical easy house shot. If I weren't so stubborn and would make the proper adjustments during transition I would probably would have had several more with this ball. It's just ridiculous!

I recently purchased the Brunswick Scorchin' Inferno ball to increase my hook and it did the trick. If you are looking for something extra this is the ball for you, but make sure you have another ball in your bag when the lanes begin to break down because the ball will roll out, it will just hook too early lowering the power into the pocket.

Bought a Scorchin' Inferno for my son as an extra hooking ball. Loves it, as it rolls a lot earlier than his Inferno but doesn't roll out...inside or out it seems to have a good midlane roll and still make it through the heads.

The Brunswick Scorchin' Inferno bowling ball increased my average almost ten pins. It is and will be a great addition to my arsenal. I recommend this for anyone looking for oily lane ball.
