Like a few staffers have mentioned, the Reactive I believe is extremely close to the Absolute Inferno in reaction. Strong midlane roll and a strong arc backend. It's gonna hard to get it to snap with a dull surface and low RG. I have an Absolute drilled with the pin above bridge, 5" to pap, CG kicked out to the right a bit and fairly close to the ring finger. I belive that's a higher RG layout like BrunsRich stated that will offer a decent backend.

On the lanes, my Absolute is too much for mediums as it is found burning up more often than not. And that's a length and backend layout! Longer patterns of medium or medium-heavy oiled lanes beware. This thing is a monster. Sounds like your Reactive will react similarly minus the personal specs. But mine on medium-heavy clears the heads smoothly, revs up hard in the midlane, and has a nice powerful strong arc. What I love best is the continuation...whether that is the drill or the ball I dont know.

I'd love to polish my AI up to get it more usuable on medium patterns instead of just medium-heavy though I'd be out of a perfect med-heavy ball. Good luck with the Reactive, hope it works out for ya. Let us know how it goes.

chitown,

The Arsenal Reactive gives a decent midlane with a TON of backend. I was actually shocked when it turned left as strong as it did even with the OOB surface.
Picture an identical reaction to the Arsenal Aggressive, just add backend. I don't believe it is going to handle the same volume of oil (reactive vs particle), but it will be close----and a different look on the lane.
