Del sent me two of these to give him some thoughts.  Here's what I told him.

First, the Nighthawk Torque was what the average bolwer was looking for in reaction and it happend to be a good ball for the high average player too.  I have to now say that the Nighthawk Torque WAS Dels best ball.  

This is the look the higher average and higher rev players, and touring players are looking for on all the conditions from house to tour.  The length rivals most reactives with the predictability of the particles. I really have a tough time telling which this ball is. They say it's SPT III or whatever. This ball leaps off the corner and hits.  

All I can say is that this ball has 2-299, and a 300 here in town already and there are only two of them.  

This is not the SPT in pearl this in a much better and different look, I know the Nighthwak Torque pearl is to be the compilment to the NHT but this should be just a good, can't say yet haven't seen the HNTPearl go down the lane yet.

I have to agree with Scott Shimer on this one -- I saw three of them at the college tournament in Ohio and every one of the three people averaged 220 or better with it.  When I asked the tournament leader about it, he told me that the ball was "sweeeet."  after watching him throw it, it was like the ball didn't know it was a particle ball.  It sailed through the heads no problem.  

The thing that impressed me the most was its recovery and carry power from the fifth and sixth arrows, a place where no one ever throws particle balls because they won't recover.  This ball changes everything we know about particle technology.  As soon as I get the $$$, I'm calling the shop to get me one.

Thank to Bill from AMF for the Ball. This a pearlized Proactive or a particle ball form AMF. Thre Coverstock is a green pearl with a light 600 to 800 sand out of the box. It can be easily polished by sanding finer and by using any of the reactive/proactive polishes of your choice. The Weight Block is a Med. RG. Med. to High Diff. Which means clean thur the fronts with strong on the backs. This ball is the most PREDICTABLE particle I've thrown. Very clean thur the first twenty to thirty feet, fast revving in the middle and a strong arc but not snapping backend reaction. I for once knew where this ball was going. It is very fustrating to feel you hit you mark with these powerful reactives and proactives and to see you miss the pocket completely. This ball has a nice marriage of power and definately control. A wonderful brenchmark ball. I just can't see how a company can improve this one. I give it a 5***** rating. Great Job AMF. Thanks Dwight.

I decided to break my so-called monopoly with Brunswick products after hearing so much praise and positive feedback on this AMF ball.  Out of the box, I rolled 697 (237-235-225)!  The Revenge can read the lane extremely well, and, with relatively few corner pins, it hits like a truck.  On the light shots, the pin carry is unbelievable!  This is my first-ever AMF ball, drilled leverage for arc, with slight positive thumb weight to give it the extra roll.  In addition, this ball has versatility...  I could hug the inside or swing it to the channel.  A rock worth buying!

Bought this ball for summer league, drilled for max length/backend. Ball does exactly what I need it to do, go long then dive right into the pocket. Thrown many high games with this ball. Ball compares to the Storm Eraser. overall, I give it an 8 out of 10.

Nighthawk Revenge
Drilling: Stacked leverage - pin next to ring finger, cg in grip midline,
extra weight hole.
After having thrown this ball for almost a year, it is still my choice for
medium to medium/dry conditions. When I first threw it out of box it was way
too much ball. After polishing it, I found I could throw a few different
lines and it was much more controllable. The hit and carry with this ball are
excellent - I've gone entire nights without leaving a single ten pin! I've
found that if I stay aggressive with it and vary my speed according to the
amount of carrydown, I can stick with it for all 3 games. Caution - if you
bowl on dry lanes or stripped backends you won't be able to control this
ball! It needs head oil and at least some carrydown to be most effective. A
great coverstock - it has held up very well over a year of heavy use! The
only time I can't use this is with stripped backends and or heavy oil. A
great ball for most league conditions! I give it a solid 10!! Keep rippin'
dem racks!........Patmandu

Who says a 2+ year old ball doesnt still work. Pulled this ball out a couple of weeks ago, to try and get a little confidence back in my game. The Revenge was the answer. Got it resurfaced and polished up and I found my 'A' ball again. House shot is a standard top hat, bout a 10 to 10 spread down about 40'. Bowl after a 4:30 league which is about 75% plastic down the middle bowlers. Needless to say there is carrydown but not a ton. Left-side (for me) is still very playable. Start out around 3rd arrow, getting the ball out to about 5-7 at the breakpoint and the ball charges back to the pocket. Ball is drilled with pin just above the finger for length. Shortly after my finding, Mo Pinel, the guru of bowling in my opinion and owner of MoRich came to our alley for a couple of days, watched me bowl (tend to have a LOT of elbow it turns out hence my slower speed and highrevs), showed me a few things re-did my grip and took most of the elbow out of the ball. Since then I have gotten my speed up about 1.5 mph, gotten the ball on the lane faster and rolling earlier, and I am still able to play the same line. Shortening your span a hair does wonders in my book. Havent shot below 600 since and helped my team win one league and been able to get another team to the top in another league with only two weeks left. For that, I say thank you again Mo and of course thanks to AMF to putting out such great equipment. still a 9 out of 10, only cause I leave a lot of 8's and 9's, but I blame that on carrydown......of that can be a valid excuse.
