Hello guys, here we are with our latest review. This time we got the chance to try the new Motiv release, the United Revolt.

I was a fan of the original Covert Revolt and for me the Revolt Vengeance has been one of the best balls I've ever used, so when I found out about the new United Revolt I was really excited, and after using the ball for the last couple of weeks I can say that this ball will be in my bag from now on.

This ball reminds me of the Covert Revolt, but with more length and a stronger backend motion. Is not as clean and sharp as the Vengeance, but still pretty strong down the lane.

For me it has been the perfect ball when I want to keep the pocket in front of me but I need more shape down the lane. I can also open up the lane with this ball and I see a lot of recovery. Is not as angular as the Primal Fear, but on the other hand it offers me more control at the break point, being a bit smoother than the Primal Fear.

I've been using this ball for about two weeks now and it has been the perfect ball when my Jackal Ghost or my Chronic Paranoia start hooking too much or creating too much friction. The United Revolt gives me more length without being too long and it gives me that extra kick I need when I don't see enough motion down the lane.

I tried the ball with the out of the box surface (5000 LSP) and with this surface, the ball fits right in between the Trident and the Chronic Paranoia. Its also smoother than the Primal Fear at the break point, while still provides similar length.

When I changed the surface to this ball to 3000 Abralon, the ball is about 5-7 feet earlier, have a stronger midlane read but still offers me a strong backend motion. Also with this finish I was able to use this ball on fresh and use it all night by just making little adjustments.

I tried the ball on the Beaten Path oil pattern during practice and I was able to play around 10, keeping the pocket in front of me and the ball rolled great. Offered me a lot of recovery even on this pattern and had enough energy to make a strong move to the pocket.

This ball is a great option for bowlers who want length and control the breakpoint while still having a strong backend motion and for bowlers who need to ball down when your heavy oil ball begin to produce too much friction.

If you liked the Covert Revolt or the Revolt Vengeance, you are definitely gonna love this ball.

Thank you for watching!

I'm curious how close is it to primal fear

The Primal Fear is more angular than the United Revolt. For me they have similar length, but the Fear is faster off the spot, while the United is smoother than the Fear.

Talking about hook potential, I think both are pretty similar, though to be honest I feel the United fits my style better than the Fear. Both are great pieces, with the Fear I really have to jump in and play steeper angles, while with the United I can make just a little adjustment and I will get a strong backend motion without leaving my comfort zone.

I hope this helps!

I wonder if a surface change to the Fear would put them ridiculously close though.

Well, I haven't used the same surface on both, but I have my Fear at 2K and my United at 3K and they roll completely different. Even with the lower surface, the Fear is faster off the spot than my United and let me play steeper angles, length wise they are close but the Fear goes at least 2, 3 feet before making its move.
