I drilled my MOTIV Octane Burn in my tried and true layout, 90* x 5” x 45* and took it to the lanes. The ball is designed for Medium to Light oil and is clean in the fronts and delivers strong back-end motion. Normally “skid-flip” balls can be a little touchy when it comes to speed control, due to the quick response to friction. I was really surprised with the Octane Burn… it has a very consistent off the breakpoint – even when I didn’t release the ball well. I was also surprised with the versatility. It works great on a house shot (where I normally use a more even rolling ball to smooth it out a bit), as well as sport patterns of varying lengths when I need to move in when the pattern opens up.
Here is the link to my ball reaction video. I compare the Burn to the Ascent, Graffiti Tag, Forza Redline, Revolt Havoc & Primal Rage Remix on the Bourbon Street Pattern:

The Octane Burn is a fantastic choice when the lanes break down. I feel confident when I need to open up my angles because it is so reliable off the breakpoint. But this ball is more than that – it is an all-around great performer.
