Looks like the Covert Revolt, just a different color.

Different cover.
But in practice, yea, probably not noticeably different for most.
-
Probably different in name only with a more aggressive finish. It wouldn't be the first time Motiv just changed the factory surface and sold the same ball in a different color.

I was told that this is the strongest symmetric in the line up.
-
The last time I remember them doing that was the QZ days. The Blue, Purple and Red were the same ball except for surface grit. In fact, the blue was a copy of the red.
-
Looks like a purple version of the Red Revolt, which was an international release:

Why not just sell the Red Revolt stateside?
-
Too many red balls idk

Stronger than the Remix?

What a backside ugly ball, and that's Ugly with a capital UGH.

Not any worse than the Forza Redline. To me that Redline is not only ugly, but is going to be even more ugly the more it is used as it is going to show everything.
-
I'm not a fan of single color balls. But I'll make an exception with the Redline because of how much I really like the Forza.
-
Turmoil HFS (High Friction Solid) cover stock vs Helix HFS Solid Reactive. Forza had the Helix Solid Reactive. So modified (or same) Forza cover on a Vanquish core ?
Why isn't this ball on Motiv's site?
-
SV, yes. I was told that this ball will be stronger. It already has a stronger core and I was told a stronger cover.
-
I was thinking the next Motiv ball would be a solid heavy oil ball above the Jackal. I guess we'll see in another 45 days or so. Or maybe we'll see a pearl in the Tag line.
-
Like relentless1 said... Thought motiv would have come out with a solid heavy ball... So I couldn't wait just got a jackal! Go motiv!
-
I like how the ball looks. Have been thinking of trying a MOTIV ball and this one has my interest. Can only afford two new balls this season though so I'm being very cautious with my decisions.
-
From my understanding, this ball is definitely NOT just a purple covert Revolt. The red overseas one was just a color change. This has a different coverstock. It's an earlier reading, slightly stronger motion. It will be taking the place of the Covert on the chart. If it wasn't a better option for that spot on the chart, it wouldn't be being released. I for one, am cautiously excited. The covert is my favorite ball ever. So even though I'm disappointed to see it being replaced, if the havoc ends up being better...whoa.
And to answer the question regarding why it isn't on the Motiv site yet...just too early. The Redline came out just last week. This one doesn't come out until mid October. I don't think they want to take any attention away from the Redline yet.

Here is a bit of information I received today on the Havoc, ....
A new Revolt Havoc coming in the early fall and will have the same vanquish core in it as with all the other revolts. As far as shape goes, it is stronger and earlier than the original covert revolt but much more continuous down lane. Best suited for heavier oil patterns.

it's on their site as of today!
