325-350 in my opinion.  Rev Rates are sometimes tricky because speed seems to play some part in it as well.

Looking at it again, I'd actually say it's pretty close to 325.  I'm just estimating of course, but I kinda eye it based on what I know about other people's rev rates.

Medium.  Anything 300+ is great in my opinion.  But what's even more important is matching your speed, revs, and rotation to the conditions.  I have a rev rate of around 275 but I'm not speed dominant so I don't have a problem hooking the ball.  My margin of error is not as great as someone who has 300+ revs.  That's your advantage.

Same for me. Even though I do not have tons of revs, it matches well with my slower speed and I get very good ball reactions and pin action - anything I'd ask for.
Only "problem" for me is length when the lane dries up, I sometimes wish for more speed, but I try to compensate through hand position changes and equipment.

250-275 area just watch a bill gross buddies video very close to his rev rate area. He is the lefty in the vids.

Trying to figure out a rev rate off of one shot is difficult.
Also with no markings(a piece of tape) it's even more difficult.

It is hard to tell for certain because it's hard to really follow the ball's rotation in that video.  (No highly-contrasting spot on the ball like tape or something to follow, poor lighting, etc.)  However, I would estimate that it's actually fairly similar to my rev rate (although the ball speed is lower than mine), and I've calculated my rev rate to be around 250rpm based on these formulas (http://"http://bowlspot.com/page/rpms").

Hey Mr. 716, since you are a rev rate expert all of a sudden, lets see a video of you and your supposed "450" rev rate.  I am willing to bet you're not even close to that.  Prove me wrong figjammer!!!



When you are throwing a Lane 1 it makes 275 seem like 450. I thought you would have learned that by now.

Post by: BuzzsawCrazy on January 07, 2009, 03:25:30 PM
Im probably not 450 but im around 400. But, im not going to argue with Sleepy. That will just keep adding fuel to the fire.

Well, this is me, and I average 425+ (according to CATS )


so, comparing it to mine, I'd say your in the lower 300's perhaps..

The guy is asking what his rev rate looks like and I told him as well as all the others. My bad for hitting the wrong keys every now and again to miss spell a word. Like you don't do it yourself ever!

I apologize.  After someone else mentioning it, I had to watch the rev rate again.  I definitely agree it's somewhere in the 275 area.  I know mine is most likely a little less than that and I can't believe I didn't notice your rev rate is actually quite similar to mine.  For some reason it just seemed quite a bit higher than it is.
