highly reccomended by me great ball, lots of hook!!

Purchased this ball compliment the Storm X-Factor. Laid out classic leverage

This ball gets through oil. However, once it hits a clean backend, its gone. Its a very aggressive ball once it clears the heads and works well on clean lanes. Once the house breaks down, put this ball back in the bag as it cant do much with carrydown or heavy oil. A good ball to compliment stronger balls like the icon 2 or icon 300.

Good, but too dramatic a move for my taste
Reaction Rev 6/10

MOABBWBALAWEHO That's right MOABBWBALAWEHO.

Pronounced MO - AB - WUB - AH- LA - WE - HO.

MOther of All Bowling Ball Weight Blocks and LArge WEight HOles.

This ball is temporarily number 1 in my bag.

I had seen this ball in a lot of my friends hands tear them up for about 6 weeks, and then Tec 2 Death.

I expect the same.

Got this ball from this site intended only to be trade bait from one of our other lefties on the site.

Said, I'll throw as is before trading, couldn't put it down.

Tossed it out on the almost always sloppy shot on the left at my home house and boom, again boom.

Said I'll plug and repitch for me.

Drilling

4 by 2 1/2, pin down about an inch from ring finger(and to the side) and the
the cg out and a legal maximum weighthole (1 1/4 inch drill bit) down the VAL and
almost 2 inches deep. (I think ball must be negative side or darn near it).

This ball compares closest in reaction to my EZ Money, down one notch in oily handling ability. This one covering medium heavies and down to medium fresh league conditions, Easy Money for medium heavy and up.

This ball starts to attempt to turn in the oil and is ready to make a strong immediate move right at the oils end. The move is a definite break right and then strong roll to the pocket without increasing angle. Don't mistake what I said it is a sharp move for a particle.

In contrast the EZ Money never looks like it turns it just keeps flaring right rihgt right.

For some reason this REV when it hits just makes so much noise and hits so hard right now I can't believe it.

Two quick examples.
They let me practice a little bit the other night before a fun league where they put out a pretty high scoring shot.

Starts out in practice I'm standing 28 throwing 15 to 8 flip sharp right then roll dead straight blam. On this shot I would have preferred my Pro Zone Violet which loved these fresh backends as this ball was just a touch too much board coverage.

But then as the sloppy stuff in my house does all of a sudden after about 12 strike balls the slop went right to the break point(what gives here).

This would usually be the beginning of a long line of flush ringing 7 pins for me with most strong equipment. Not with this MOAB!

A slight move left to about 24. Place the ball down at the arrows at about 13 to 10 and the annhilation continued!! Kerblam!!! Light, flush, the breakpoint a little less sharp but still awesome!

I really think this is some weight block and in this Tec 2 coverstock it is now perfect for the sloppy stuff I'm seeing. I have then seen this weightblock in the WOW and I really hate the look of that ball on most conditions I see people try to push it through(not enough oil usually).

I would love to see this weightblock in one of their new more durable coverstocks with a particle load less than the WOW. Yes usually they are using the WOW with polish.

Yes Virginia I realize the Icon and Icon 300 are higher RG variants of this weightblock.

I can't wait to see what I can put up with this Monster while the coverstock holds up. What 1/2 the summer?

REGards,

Weight:15

Pin: above ring finger, CG in the palm.

Coverstock: out of the box, polished

I bought this ball when I first started learning a hook ball. Shortly after I bought an Icon 300 because I needed something more aggresive. But now that I've got my game under control, I've been wanting to get this thing out and try it again.

This ball has a nice smooth arc to the pocket with incredible carry. Starting at 15 throwing to about 5, it revs up nicely and turns with alot of force. When I hit my mark it made the pocket seem to be about 3 feet wide.

The conditions were medium oil down the middle, and dry-med on the outside. I averaged a 188 with this ball since using it again. The weight block in this is just devastating. I know it's an older ball, but it's a big hitter in my book from Columbia.

Likes: Great carry, very prediciable roll. Alot of pin action, blows the pins right out when you hit the pocket.

Dislikes: Not many yet, any miss hits still had good carry, and that was operator error.

Wish I would have stuck with this ball from the beginning, my average would have appreciated it!

Terrific ball, but a tad jumpy. As it was designed to be a skid/flip, I expected as much. But it does exactly what it is supposed to do. Carries very, very long and then jumps into the pocket with authority. This ball skids straight down the 10 board and cuts in to the pocket in the last 10 feet. It's a beautiful thing to watch. As soon as I start having some problems with my more aggressive balls going a little high I'lll pull out the Rev and can usually finish up the night with it. Though at times it will also start jumping high before the end of the third game. My Rev came pin out (5" from pin to CG) and I had it drilled like this:

XX*XXXX
XXXXXXX
XXXXXXX
XX0X0XX
XXXXXXX
XXoXXXX
XXXXXXX
XXX0XXX
XXXXXXX

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
