First Night with The Awesome Revs
« on: January 06, 2007, 12:54:25 AM »
OK, I got an Awesome Revs 16.00lb 2-3 pin with 2 3/4 top weight.  Drilled it up with the control drilling from the sheet.  Pin 2.5 from Pap MB 6.5 (under thumb).  Decided I would use it last night in my Friday league.  The lanes were unusually oily for our league.  Word has it the lane man oil them in the afternoon and they were oiled again before our league (which I saw) with no play on them after the first oiling.  But anyways in practice I used my No Mercy, which I usually use, typical 3rd arrow swing shot and the ball didnt wrinkle, and this was the case throughout the league, nothing was moving.  So I grabbed my Revs figured with the particle it would grip a little more and be more of a even move for me.  To combat the oil I also move to a direct line, playing straight up 5.  First game X, 4 pin/, off the sheet 280, 2nd game X, 10 pin/, off the sheet 280.  3rd game I needed to migrate left with my feet and set down and ended up with 237.  Needed the first strike in the 10th for the 800 and left a 10 pin.  797, but needless to say I was very impressed with the reaction of the revs which I would describe as a smooth powerful arc.  with the drill pattern in still gets good length and a then starts up strong in the mids but doesnt overreact at all.  I am glad I picked this drill pattern on the ball as it is a true winner...

Great bowling...now you see why firsthand I have sold so many Revs over the past few months...it is very versatile and responds to whatever drilling you may put on the ball!

Its a wonderful peice of equipment if you have the oil to use it. It dosent need tons of oil but, mine tends to like flatter patterns and it seems to labor really bad with the amount of friction available on a THS.

Well if I get mine drilled pin 5 1/2 to pap; mb 5 1/4 to pap, 3" above midline (which should be above fingers, I'm hoping it won't burn or lose energy, go long, strong arc in backend.

VAbowler, I believe a 5.5 pin to pap on Morich equipment is stronger than a 2.5, check the Morich site and click drillings then drilling request form it lists the pin to pap strength on there

Well it might be stronger b/c it saves energy later?  I thought w/the pin being that far from the pap, it'll promote skid?

Okay went to the site, so the pin to pap distance, the farther away, the more it flares, right? that's why a lot of people have distances of 3 3/8, b/c it's a good balance?  So the mb placement will affect how long it'll go, b/c they're control drilling has is 7" from pap. I'm confused, lol.

3-3/8" pin to PAP flares the most, but that's not always a good thing.  Too much flare is not as strong as the right amount of flare.  I personally get the "right" amount of flare with Mo's stuff putting the pin 5-1/2" to 6" from my axis if I use a weight hole.
