Title: Already paid for itself
Post by: Gizmo823 on April 21, 2014, 02:31:26 PM
Drilled a Tribal a couple weeks ago, it almost paid for itself.  Drilled a Covert Revolt on Tuesday, and yesterday at a sweeper, it paid for both balls, my entry, and then some.  It was 5 games of qualifying, cut to the top 32, then double elimination bracket, all scratch.  I qualified 11th, won my first bracket match, then lost the next one (to a friend who some idiot pissed off with a smart ass comment in the first round, then I had to suffer the consequences, lol), then I won the rest of my matches in the losers bracket.  15 games over 6 1/2 hours, and I was so gassed at the end that I didn't have it in me to beat the winner of the winners bracket 2 games, so I ultimately finished 2nd. 

Used the Revolt all day with the exception of about a half game with the Tribal.  When the lanes got really burnt on the outside, I was able to play a tight line with the Revolt, and nobody else had the same area of the lane I did.  They couldn't get the roll and move on the back through the middle like I could, but couldn't get it down the lane if they played more angle.  I also threw a lot of good shots . . but having reaction you're confident in makes that SO much easier.

I picked one up today. Went 70/5/55 with a very tiny hole down my val.

Threw it on a heavier volume 42 foot house shot and then tonight on 2nd shift league.

This ball is special!!! Miss in and it'll hold with devastating power at the deck. Miss out and it recovers but doesn't jump. It's the strongest arc I've seen. Mine was finishing behind the 8 pin a lot tonight.

I'm geeked about this one!!!

Nice job by the way haha

Yeah that's what I was expecting was a hard arc, but I wasn't expecting one quite this good.  It's got a lot of length for as much as it hooks, and it's a hard arc but it's not jumpy . .  I went 70x4.5x35 with mine.  One of those balls I think I'm going to have to order more of . .
