Mini Review: Awesome REVS
« on: February 26, 2007, 05:33:12 AM »
Ball: PIN 5 1/4 from PAP under the bridge 2 inches above midline, MB 4 3/4 from PAP 2.5 inches right of thumb. I left the surface at OOB.

Lane Conditions: various. Used on my house pattern, on the VIPER pattern and at the Ohio State Bowling Tournament.

HOOK:
Heavy: Even with the OOB compound finish the Revs hooks....ALOT. It easily fills the bill as an oiler.....adjusting the surface some would make this ball a beast on oil.

Medium: As long as there is enough oil to carry the ball down the lane the REVS takes over in the midlane and doesn't stop until all 10 pins are down.

Light: FORGET IT!

TOTAL HOOK:
I have not thrown an Awesome HOOK....I have seen it thrown and the REVS is not too far behind it. I see it playable on most med/heavy-heavy patterns, but OOB it is going to need some friction to turn over.

CONTROL:
FOR ME...the only thing I can control with this ball is placing it in my hand. When it comes to the lanes...get it close to your target and have fun watching it work.

EXPECTED REACTION:
I have had a few balls drilled like this one in the past....the RULE GP2, the XCEPTION 5.0 to name a couple. The REVS is stronger off of the break than either of them were. I was suprised at how quickly it got into a roll even on a fresh pattern...but I was even more suprised at how much energy it retained down the lane.

Strengths:
THE ENGINE BABY!!! The Vanguard core...in any of its "mutations" is pretty sweet. An employee of mine stated how it REVS through the midlane and then looks like it stops doing anything then it just REVS again making its turn into the pocket. The coverstock is strong even with the compound....so med/heavy- heavy patterns shouldn't be an issue.

Weaknesses:
The REVS looks bad when there is lack of sufficient oil to carry it down the lane. I think a good coat of polish would do the trick to ease that issue....but it is so good OOB why change it!?

COMMENTS:
I have not thrown a MoRich ball since the Hercules. The Vanguard Core is so much stronger than the old stuff was. The HIT is a step up from anything I have seen from Mo's older equipment. The overall movment of the REVS makes me wonder what the FLIP does.......because I see alot of FLIP out of the REVS. HEAVY ROLL....STRONG BACKEND reaction. The Awesome REVS is a winner!

Carl,

I'm so glad to see you posting in the Morich forum. I am, or I guess was, a loyal follower of Track equipment and I may still be in six months or so, once we see what ebonite is going to do with Track. However, in the mean time regionals are getting ready to start up and I need some new toys to stay competitive. One of the balls that caught my eye was the Revs. I think it will match up with my game very well. I also remember reading somewhere that if you matched up well with Track that you would most likely match up pretty well with Morich. So again, I'm very glad to see someone with your knowledge posting here in the Morich forum. Hopefully, this will be the start of many good things to come! By the way, I think you just sold me on the Revs!

Thanks for posting this Carl!
I have been eyeing this ball for awhile. I'll be browsing the Morich forum for more info on this ball.

Thanks!

I can say that I love this ball. It works well in two of the houses that I bowl in. One of them has too much carry down with a filler 10-10 pattern laid on top of it.

But the REVS is an outstanding ball. Very forgiving if you miss your mark left or right. If left, seems to hold the line and hit the pocket. If right, makes the turn and rips the pocket.

BOWLING IS FUN NO MATTER WHAT YOU SCORE. BUT A 300 IS ALWAYS NICE.

STRIKE ZONE, ONSLAUGHT, REVS, FLIP & PYRO. STAND 22 AND THROW 10 OUT TO 5 AND CRUSH THE POCKET. AT LEAST THAT IS THE PLAN OF THE NIGHT...

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BOWLING!!!

I would say the FLIP. But I noticed that it was really close to the REVS. Maybe a surface adjustment would help.

I have mine drilled weaker then the REVS, but it still gives me a really strong back end.

Used the oob revs tonight with 4 1/2 pin and mb at 4 1/4, it saved my night shot 237,236 the last 2 games and rolled and hooked the same every shot. One of the best morich balls made overall, I hope the Finish is at least 75 percent as good of ball.

Honestly the more I throw the revs the more it impresses me.......and I have thrown it on a wide variety of patterns.

Carl,

I was waiting for this mini review to pop up. However I didnt think you would remember this:

quote:
An employee of mine stated how it REVS through the midlane and then looks like it stops doing anything then it just REVS again making its turn into the pocket.


That is what I said about 2-3 weeks ago, didnt think you would use it. However the move you use the revs the move I want it. Also after throwing the SnA and seeing how strong it is even with the cover adjustment I put on it, I may have found a company to use while I wait out what happens with Tracks life now that ebonite owns them.

Great review Carl.  How would you compare the revs to the Animal?
