Revolution Vengeance equivalent?
« on: July 07, 2008, 11:51:11 PM »
IIRC, Brunswick used to make the balls for Revolution. I can't find any info. on the Brunswick site regarding the Vengeance. I am not able to locate Revolution's website. I think they may be exclusively international (to the US) at this point.

I am looking for more detailed info. on the Vengeance to try to find a ball that is similar as a replacement. Bowlingballreviews (http://bowlingballreviews.com/ball.asp?ballid=1024) says it's a PowerKoil 17 reactive pearl cover with an inverted light bulb core (symmetric). Can anyone confirm that this information on BBR is correct?

Also, the review says that it's a high RG ball (2.648), with a .033 diff. Not many balls nowadays have that high of an RG (without being plastic).

So, for drier lanes, this ball should push and then make a strong, angular move on the back end (assuming little to no carrydown) - which is exactly what I am seeing. Does anyone have any recommendations for a ball that would be similar in nature, but maybe tailored for more of a medium lane condition? I like the reaction that this ball is giving me, but the age and number of games on the ball is necessitating a look at a replacement. I am not locked into any 1 brand.

Thanks in advance.

Get it! This ball is money, I love mine for its steady performance in league and tournament. And the best thing are the stunned looks by competitors who have NO idea what kicked them out. I love these curious and stunned faces

And, yes, it has a very thick cover (ah, old school balls...), but the filler stinks like hell when you drill it up.

i ve thrown the vengeance, bought it from Joe-ASB

very long skid and clean and controllable backend
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.


"very long skid"?
Do you have more ball speed than revs or did you put the pin over the bridge?

Unless I add a lot of polish OR use it on too much oil, I never get "a lot of skid".
