Revolver
« on: December 31, 1969, 06:00:00 PM »
- Coverstock: ConneXion Grip Coverstock
- Color: Purple Pearl/White Pearl
- Hardness: 76-78
- Factory Finish: 500 Siaair Micro Pad 4,000-Siaair Micro Pad Finish
- Weight Block: Jack Core Symmetrical Core (14-16# only, 12 and 13 # have a generic core)
- RG max: 2.558
- RG min: 2.504
- RG diff: 0.054
- Average RG: 3.8 of 10
- Hook Potential: 165 (Scale 10-175)
- Length: 105 (Scale 25-235)
- Typical Breakpoint Shape: 85 Angular (Scale Smooth Arc 10-Angular 100)
- Recommended Lane Conditions: Medium-Oily
- Description: ConneXion Grip Coverstock - The Revolver utilizes ConneXion Grip an improved version of ConneXion coverstock. ConneXion Grip incorporates a new formula to increase the footprint size of the coverstock which improves mid-lane and back-end traction.
Jack Core - The Jack core was designed as a low RG symmetric core with a high differential. The low RG engages in the mid-lane assisting in ball motion, and the high differential increases track flare potential giving the ball more opportunity to grip the back-end while using standard layouts and interchangeable thumb sleeves.
Ball Motion - With its 4,000 Siaair Micro Pad finish, the Revolver will provide good length with a strong continuous back-end reaction that matches up on medium to oily lane conditions for a wide range of bowling styles.
Reaction Setup - The Revolver can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for symmetric bowling balls.
Lightweight Engineering - The unique core shape of each Brunswick ball is used for weights from 14 to 16 pounds. This approach to lightweight ball engineering provides bowlers with consistent ball reaction characteristics across this weight range. The same drilling instructions can be used for 12- and 13-pound balls. This is because Brunswick uses a generic core shape with an RG differential that is close enough to the 14-16 pound shape.

The Revolver is VERY STRONG and I found a hard time finding a place to
throw it with the out-of-box surface because I haven't seen enough oil in the short time I have had it. So I decided to throw a bit of polish on it and found that it still picks up early, but continues its ball motion a little better without expending too much energy. The ball is drilled pin down at 5 1/4 from PAP, and the cg at 4 3/4 from pap. It definitely will work, without a doubt, on either
heavier or longer patterns. So I'm very anxious to get on something where I can use it to its full potential! But with the polish on it, it will definitely continue on a house shot more than other balls that are out right now within the Revolver's hook range.

Right Handed, Cranker style, I usually play between 3rd and 4th arrows, 16 mph speed
Box Surface - 500 grit Micropad, then 4000 grit Micropad,
My PAP is 5 3/8" over and 7/8" up Dual Angle Drilling Layout - 65 Deg x 5" x 50 Deg which puts the pin above my fingers and no weight hole

I wanted a ball that would be a little stronger for heavier oil conditions but not have a lot of backend. What I got was a ball that is smooth in heavier oil and doesn't overreact when reaching the friction. This ball clears the heads, gets through the midlane nicely, and finishes strong.  It needs heavier oil because it was hooking too much after 2 games on a THS.  This would be a good ball when you need something that has traction in heavier oil conditions.  This is another strong ball in the Pro Performance line and compliments the Wild Card.  Keep up the good work Brunswick!

Brunswick Revolver
Ball Specs
The ball being drilled was a 2” pin out with 3.00 oz top weight.
Drilling: Pin 3 3/4" from PAP and Mb 45 degrees from PAP, 70 degrees V.A.L. Line DUAL ANGLE. Pin is below ring finger. Weight Hole on a 4 o'clock. Factory Sanded 4000.

Bowler Information:
Track diameter is 11 5/8.
PAP is measured at 4 11/16 over and 11/16 up.
Average ball speed (foul line to head pin) is 13 mph.
Axis rotation is typically 90 degrees
Initial rev rate is typically 200 rpm, "Tweener"
Lane Condition and Pattern:
Classic Falls. Brunswick Generation 1 Synthetic panel. Oil Pattern: Kegel Highway to Hell, more oil outside, medium oil inside.

Review:
I am having my daughter Ashley test this ball for me. 180 Average, 18 years old with medium to slow speed and a low spinner type track.

The Revolver is a perfect ball for most medium to oily lane conditions, it has that Wild Card look on the 1st half of the lane but stronger back end reaction down lane. Very archy in the first 30 feet and a nice strong but smooth reaction on the backend. This ball has been my daughters favorite ball when the lanes start off oily or when the pattern is oily flat. Not a ball for drier lanes, the ball will set up to early and quit on the backends. Even on Highway to Hell she shot 655 and a 265 her last game on the ball. After 20 to 30 games, the ball does need to be resanded to maintain that dull coverstock and big hook, which is the case with every dull reactive. Another wonderful choice from Brunswick.


Thanks for reading my review.

Left hander

High rev rate

Condition: THS

 

 

My Revolver came with a 2 inch pin with a top weight of 2.5.  I drilled it with the pin directly under my bridge with the cg kicked out slightly with no hole needed.  I was looking forward to this ball to use on the fresh condition to tame down the backends.  This ball allowed me to play closer to the friction on the fresh without having the ball over react downlane.  The ball motion is really smooth and controllable which is huge for us high rev players.
