If you need a ball that can easily glide down the lane and finsh strongly on the backend then look no further than the Octane Burn. By wrapping the high RG Quadfire core (2.55RG, .043Diff) in the brand new Helix SFP Reactive coverstock we have a blend of the original Octane’s backend motion and greater control at that spot. I was a bit aggressive with my angles so that I could get the ball to rev up a bit sooner for me, to give me a stronger midlane read before dry and this ball does not disappoint. Even though I can see it rapidly flaring in the mids it still effortlessly glides through the fronts and mids; so far this trait has been shown anywhere from straight up on the fresh to playing left of fifth arrow on some extreme burn. Friction is this ball’s friend. Once you find the dry the Burn reads hard without being snappy or overly jumpy. This motion towards the pocket does not stop once it gets to the pins as it drives through to the pit. I have also noticed that this ball is very good at keeping the pins low; more pins around the deck translates to better carry. In my bag this iteration of the Octane fits extremely well between Redline/Shock and the Tag. If it’s dry that you need to combat, pick up an Octane Burn and #LightEmUp!
