When I saw the release of (r)eVolve I knew it was my next purchase. I have a home proshop setup that is used primarily for me and family along with a few friends here and there. Many times people get disappointed with local shops because they feel rushed or ignored when it comes to purchasing and maintaining a bowling ball. As a hobby I enjoy and always look to better myself when it comes to bowling and proshop knowledge. The opportunity to go to many of the drilling classes around the country has never been fees-able for my interest and hobby of what I do. Time off work plus travel not to mention the $$$$ of the class really adds up. Another option would certainly be welcomed.
Upon arrival of the (r)eVolve packet (book with dvd and disc of power point presentation) I was extremely excited and couldn't wait to start reading. The information available and depth of knowledge getting started on fitting a bowler was great. There are always so many questions that come with this process and what seems to be a million different answers and "theories" that are sold or pushed. This takes an easy to understand approach with lots of details on things to look for and why, and how this relates to the bowler/individual which often gets over looked. Bowlers are individuals and are all different. The natural progression from fitting to understanding todays equipment and the relevance of technology and how to weed through some of the smoke and mirrors of todays bowling balls sales gimmicks to better match a bowler to the ball needed for their style and conditions is very refreshing. The depth of coverage on drilling, weight holes, and coverstock prep is very helpful. It really gives you a better idea of what to look for after drilling and how to make tweaks to the bowling ball to better match up for the given bowler and more importantly changing environment the bowler is facing.
Start to finish is a very in-depth look at the things bowlers and proshop workers need to know for being more successful with their customers. Very informative.
