I'd guess:
Parker: 300 - 350
Duke, Weber: 250 - 300
WRW: 250 - 275

I'd love to see if someone has their Kegel (or other) measured rev rate.

I remember a long while back, PBIII said he had up to 375 - 450 rev rate, while P. Allen said he's just over 300?!!!! this was almost 5 to 9 yeas ago...

I think it was an old BTM magazine I read and it had these guys at:
WRW was 300-325
PDW was 350-375
duke was 300

Parker has a lot of speed so that could be right. The numbers for PDW and WRW seem a little on the optimistic side. Ah, what does it matter; they're all so good, I wouldn't care if their rate was 40 or 4000. It's their style, tenaciousness, knowledge and skill that are so important.

Go to the 2:00 minute mark and it will give you the rev rate and ball speed for a few of the Brunswick staffers at the time including PBIII and some others that will help in your guesstimates.

 I had the luck to be on the same pair as WRW in Vegas two years ago, and have Duke on the pair next to me. I think xrayjay has the more accurate numbers. These guys rev the ball more than what appears on TV.

The other thing to consider is that these bowlers also have the ability to adjust their rev rates as needed for the shot they face.  Not dramatically.  But you might see them in a video where their rev rate appears 50-75 less than another and that was what was necessary for the shot.

I recall Robert Smith on one of the mid game segments once demonstrating a 200 +/- in his rev rate as needed based on the shot that week.

The ones you see on TV regularly with multiple titles have more than just an "A" game they can beat you with.
