So I've had my Revolt for a little over a week now, and I've been able to throw a few sets with it.

I tried something a little different with this ball to create a reaction that has been lacking in my bag for quite some time..a smooth one. I decided to drill it pin down, which is a stray from the norm for me on a low rg ball. For the dual angle fans, it's 70 x 4 x 70. Puts the pin right below my ring finger. I expected smooth, which I got, but I didn't expect to be as impressed by it as I am.

I bowl on 42 foot heavy volume ths, on Brunswick Anvilanes. I have low tilt (10) and high rotation (70) and a little above average rev rate (375-400). I generally throw the ball about 16.5-17 mph on the monitors.

The best way to describe the reaction I get out of the revolt is smooth power. I do square up with it a bit because the drill dictates it, but it is a fantastic ball. It walks into the pocket and hits very well. For being as smooth rolling as it is I expected the occasional flat hit or deflection. I've seen none of that yet. If I miss outside it just starts hooking a little earlier, still gets back to the pocket and (more times than not) carries. Misses inside tend to hold and still have enough drive to carry. It is truly a winner. I've thrown it three sets now. I have shot 707, 721, 720 with it. My average varies from around 215-220 ish, and I'm not saying I would not have bowled well with something else, just that I was supremely confident in the smooth, reliable, predictable motion I get out of the Covert Revolt each time it leaves my hand. Having that much confidence really frees me up and leads to better shots.

I'm not a Motiv staffer, just a fan, and pro shop operator lucky enough to have been able to purchase it pre-release date. I have nothing to gain by doing this review, but if you're considering this ball, I would say without a doubt it is a winner. Great, great ball.

I will absolutely be buying at least one more.

Any info or questions by all means ask. I've collected quite a few Motiv pieces lately, and I would love to answer any questions or help out in any way I can.

Matt

so im a lower rev player and I have all motiv balls and looking at the revolt. any drilling suggestions? most my pins are to the right of my ring finger and pap kicked slightly out. thanks for the help!

Feel free to send me a pm with some more info and I'd love to help you out. For instance, which balls do you have now, what type of surface/oil do you bowl on, any idea of speed? Stuff like that. Lmk man.

Thanks for the review Matt! Good to see an actual Motiv ball review that isn't a copy/paste from the marketing department. LOL

How would you compare the Revolt to the Cruel?

Yea, I meant the original. I really liked the original Cruel. I have one NIB, but would rather not drill it.

So with your review, I will get a Revolt instead. Thanks again!
