Octane Burn #Lightemup

Review:

The Octane Burn is the latest release from the wonderful line of Motiv Bowling products. The new Octane Burn brings together the Ouadfire core we have seen in many releases and more recently the original Octane and parterning up with the Quadfire core is the new Helix SFP Reactive coverstock. This combination provides more control downlane and backend lane motion when the lanes have more friction on them. When the lanes are hooking, this is the piece to go to, the Octane Burn by Motiv Bowling.

INNER CORE Quadfire

Comments:

When the Octane Burn was announced I knew this was going to be a nice piece in my bag and boy was I right. I was looking for something that I need more control when the lanes are breaking down and the Octane Burn has fit the bill. I have never seen a bowling ball that is so controllable both in the midlane and in the backend before when there is high friction in the lanes. When the lanes are hooking I know I can switch to this piece both on house and sport conditions. And what I also love about this piece is usually when the lanes are hooking you will lose power in the backend and be corner pin city but not the burn. This ball still hits the pins like a truck and that’s what I love about this piece the most. Lower rev players will like this piece when the outsides dry up and need the control when your not comfortable moving in and medium to higher rev players will love this piece on most THS shots and higher friction conditions,

Like: Controllable midlane and backend motion; strong continuation through the pins.

Dislike: None

I recommend this piece to all styles of bowlers.

I pirchased the Burn when it was announced. I like the ball but unlike the name it isn't for the burn. Motiv's ball guide lists it as a med-light oil ball with the Tag as the same motion but for light oil. I also own the Tag and have to agree. I bowl three leagues on old wood lanes and a shootout after the scratch league on burn. My Octane Burn is a good 7 boards overall stronger than my Tag. However, the Octane Burn works well on fresh and can make the turn when lofting the gutter on true burn.
