I'm in the higher revolution category and after reading all the previous posts it only confirms what I've been relating to my customers a person either has a high rev rate or not. Increasing revrate is one of the hardest things to do in bowling along with willingly changing axis tilt.
Both of these (tilt and revrate) are a product of how the body is built and how one's timing is developed. I've tried many, many times to explain how I can get up to 550, I've tried to explain how to adjust timing, slowing down the feet, getting the slightly bent elbow to straighten out at the bottom of the swing, cupping to uncupping the wrist at the bottom of the swing...
I believe it all comes down to how your body is built and how you learned how to hook the ball when you first started bowling. Some bowlers don't physically have the strength to have higher revs, most throw the ball too hard, some are stuck with the "textbook" form of the 50's and 60's with a straight elbow and square to the line, I could go on and on.
With all that said, I usually tell my customers not to worry about their revrate and worry about matching up their speed to their current revrate. This is much more effective in producing a higher carry percentage. With higher revolutions comes the need for more speed. Matching speed and revs is key to better carry and higher scores.
I often lament with other high rev bowlers on drier conditions, "why did we learn how to hook it so much?" I can only roll the ball with so much speed before I begin throwing it and losing repetition and control.
So don't worry about revrate, worry about matching up your speed and rotation to your equipment and where you like to play, that will produce better carry than more revolutions.
