Covert Revolts everywhere . .
« on: April 16, 2014, 07:45:36 AM »
Recommended them to a couple friends, and also drilled one up myself so we had several of them rolling down the lanes last night.  This ball HOOKS, I had to put mine away, but my friends were able to throw theirs.  I went 70x4.5x35 with mine, went 75x5x40 with the one for the guy that bowls with me.  He's got an extra 50 revs on me, but 1-2 mph too, so he was able to get deep and wheel on it.  Exactly what I was hoping for reaction-wise for all of us.  We have Nationals coming up, thought it would be good on the team shot, then we have a tournament the next weekend, followed by a lot of sport patterns all summer.  Doesn't look like I'll be able to use this one in league much, but that's ok, wasn't the intent anyway.  Motiv makes it really easy to drill and recommend stuff with confidence, you know every piece is going to be excellent. 
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?

I agree it is a pretty good ball, I drilled mine too strong incidentally and had to really polish mine up to get good use out of it. Since shining it though, ball has been very good for me, box finish it burned a lot of energy early, now it is extremely versatile and strikes a bunch, gives me a great ball to bridge the gap between my Sting and Tribal.

I did get to use it in league last night.  First generation Anvilane must just really be super high friction, because last night was on second generation, and it was absolutely effortless through the heads.  I don't know if there's such a thing as a ball being too clean, but I left several 9 pins last night haha.  Once I learned how the ball wanted me to play, I went pretty big the last game.  It actually hooks less than I thought it did, my first impression Tuesday was that I wasn't going to get to use it much, but now it's looking like it's going to be one of the more versatile balls I've ever thrown.

The Covert Revolt is a ball that lets you stay slow and hook the lane or firm up the speed and play it straight through the front of the lane.  For me it carries better if I keep the speed firm and stay a little straighter.
