Review:
The Burner Solid provides a nice option for the 900 Global arsenal as transition occurs. This ball will shine in situations where control down the lane is key to knocking ten back. The S62 coverstock has been used for some time in the 900 line and what this means to the bowler is that the Burner Solid will provide nice length down the lane, the ball will retain energy and the angles will not need to be extremely steep for this one to be in play.
For this review I compared the Burner Solid to the Afterburner Black/Blue. Although the Afterburner was a tad shaper off the spot for me compared to the Burner Solid, I liked that the Burner Solid did not have much over/under as I initially thought it would with the OOB polished finish. If you do see that type of reaction simply take a 3K or 2K pad of choice and rough up the surface by hand.
The Burner Solid is a nice addition for any arsenal and you'll likely find a spot in the bag for this one as the lanes transition. Also, along with many THS conditions the Burner Solid may be used in sport situations where the fronts start going away and super steep angles are not preferred.
