I like mine. You'll have some people on this site saying how they suck and it's better to not use them so you can adjust hand position and stuff like that. Mine is adjustable and I have never had a problem making adjustments. They aren't for everyone but they do work wonders for some.
-
Some people feel that it reduces their rev rate. I feel that it increases mine. At the right setting that is. If you have trouble cupping your wrist than this will help. It will take a little getting used to it. The Revs #3 is the one with the index finger. That one will help with revs the most.
Go to your local pro shop and ask them to let you try one and see if you like it first.

Not being able to take it off when you feel that you don't need it anymore.

I use a Rev's II, try the III and did not like the reaction it gave to my game. I love the Rev's II though.

I have had the revs 2 for over a year. The adjustment link in it has worn some and now it moves just enough to screw with my shot, as I feel the movement in my backswing.
I would just go without it but it is the last 4 weeks of our league and we are fighting trying to get into the rolloff for $3000.00. My teammates would run me out of dodge if I tried such a major adjustment. However, my goal for the summer is to dump the brace.
My advice, don't use one if you don't need one. Get with an experienced coach, make sure that your equipment is measured and fitted correctly, and let him help you decide whether you should use a brace. Coaching is relatively inexpensive, and will be money well spent.

My wife uses one and it works well for her.
She used this one for a few months, but decided to try the Robby Revs II. I'll make you a fair deal on it if interested. I believe it is a small, but I can check if needed.

well, i tried it out last night. It was exactly what i was looking for. It was comfortable, easy to put on and take off, and it gave me the extra rev's i was looking for. i could play multiple angles to the pocket without any pain whatsoever. I have found a winner.

I tried out a Revs 3 for the first time today and found a great increase in revs as well. Only problem is that I cannot get the pin to move so I can make the adjustments to the tilt. Item is brand new, am afraid to put some WD-40 on it to loosen it up for fear of making it too oily. Anyone have any suggestions?
--------------------
I would give anything to add some revs to my game
-
just spray some wd-40 in it, if that doesnt work, take it back for a return or you could even get in contact with Robby's through their website!

I personally have had my revs 3 for about 2 years...I have very weak wrists and I found now that it is hard to bowl without it....but to be honest when I first started using it I found it was hard to stay behind the ball but with practice I figured it out....I am really pleased with mine....good luck to you..
