Combining the red-hot performance of the original Inferno's Ultra-Low RG core with the aggressiveness of a rough-buff, pearlized Activator Plus coverstock, the Absolute Inferno sets a new standard for traction that leaves the other balls behind. For improved hook potential, a more angular breakpoint, and better mid-lane recovery and forgiveness, there's only one absolute you can count on - Absolute Inferno.
Brunswick Activator Coverstock has quickly established a reputation for excellence in ball reaction, durability and longevity of ball reaction. On the lanes, Activator Coverstock balls are clean through the heads with excellent mid-lane recovery and strong arcing back-end reactions that create powerful pin action. Owners of the original Inferno have reported that it requires less frequent resurfacing and/or rejuvenation and is more resistant to cracking than other reactive coverstock balls.
Activator Plus is a more aggressive version of the original Activator coverstock formulation that maintains the durability and longevity of ball reaction that are characteristic of the Activator coverstock family. The rough-buff, pearlized version of Activator Plus coverstock used on the Absolute Inferno creates more traction in the oil, increasing the ball's mid-lane and backend hooking action, while still being clean through the front end. When combined with the more angular breakpoint of the Activator Plus coverstock, this creates a ball with excellent mid-lane recovery and strong back-end power that is very forgiving, allowing the bowler more room for error.
Utility
-Out of the box: The Absolute Inferno is an ideal ball for medium-dry to medium-oily lane conditions.
-When shined: Using Brunswick's Factory Finish High Gloss Polish the total hooking action of the Absolute Inferno can be reduced and the arc made more skid/snap.
-When dulled: The Absolute Inferno's hooking action will increase providing a better match-up for oily lane conditions.
Reaction Setup
The Absolute 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 Absolute Inferno is finished with a new Rough Buff compound finish. To bring you Absolute Inferno back to its original factory finish use Brunswick's new Factory Finish Rough Buff.
