Octane Burn

[seniorMOTIVguy]

The Octane Burn is the latest medium to dry lane ball to be offered by MOTIV bowling. Featuring the same Quadfire core as the original Octane but wrapped by a new cover stock called Helix SFP Reactive which provides an earlier and smoother response to friction. Comparing the Octane Burn to the original Octane, the Burn starts up a few feet sooner and makes a smoother transition in the back part of the lane whereas the Octane provided a much sharper reaction to the friction. The Burn is much more controllable on broken down patterns. My Burn is drilled pin down with no weight hole and I have had success with this ball on the medium 39-43 foot patterns. This layout allows me to control the breakpoint even more and I can keep my angles closer together. The Quadfire core has been a lifesaver for me on drier patterns as it creates a very controllable shape at the breakpoint. The Burn is a must for any tournament bowler if you need length and control as the lane pattern starts to break down.

If the Burn was intended for "dry lanes" why would Motiv rate it above four other balls in their current line up?
I have a Burn and love it but it is by no way a dry lane ball unless you enjoy lofting the gutter.
