Choosing between the Revolt Havoc or the Respect Solid
« on: January 02, 2016, 01:01:34 PM »
For the past 1-1/2 years, I've been adding Motiv into the arsenal and really like what I've seen from them.  I am thinking of doing my first ball upgrade from a Motiv ball I added and that is to potentially replace the Covert Revolt.  Overall, that ball has been very nice to have but really like the possibilities of having a stronger cover in the Havoc that can give some more flexibility on heavier or flatter patterns.  Combine this with still getting continuation that the original is known for and I'm thinking it can be a nice upgrade.  It took a few surface changes to find the sweet spot for me on the original Revolt, but it has worked well.

With that being said, I've also liked what I've seen coming out of 900 Global as of late.  The Respect Solid is another ball that has caught my attention and overall appears to be fairly similar.  An exception to this would be the differential on the Havoc being higher at .057 compared to .050 on the Respect.

So, I'm wondering if I should go with the Revolt Havoc or potentially jump into trying the Respect Solid.  Any thoughts?

Havoc is a very good piece. If you like your Motiv stuff, why switch to another brand? I have several Storm/Roto (I consider Global/AMF to essentially be Storm/Roto because of Storm's "investment" into Global) and Motiv pieces. Although I do NOT have a Respect, I can say the difference between Motiv and Storm pieces for me is the Motiv stuff is more even rolling and the covers hold up better and longer than my Storm/Roto stuff. However, when I need something that moves off the spot quicker, my Storm/Roto stuff fits the bill better.

The jackal carnage  might be good choice as well

I really love my Havoc. It's smooth but strong and very versatile. I can move left in the oil on our house shot and carry a lot and it also played very well for me on the 2015 usbc team pattern last week

That's one I'm definitely looking at to finally replace my Defiant.  It's between that and the Dream Big.

Carnage looks like a BEAST! Havoc is a good piece...Forza (original) is good, Venom Shock is good, Tag for me is good...lots to like with Motiv right now.

So far, I've liked a lot of what I've seen with Motiv the past 1-1/2 years, especially with converting 1/2 the arsenal.  Always good to keep the options open though.
