AMF uses a numeric rating system designed to differentiate our coverstock strengths. F10 least aggressive - F90 most aggressive. Note: Core dynamics must be taken into account with shell strength when selecting equipment. Mega Recovery
Mega Recovery is the first extension to the popular Mega line and provides a cleaner look through the front of the lane, while providing the overall aggressiveness you’ve come to expect from the Mega line. Attributes Tech Specs Coverstock: F75 Wts RG Differential Color: Orange/Black 16 2.450 0.051 Finish: 1,000 Abralon 15 2.450 0.054 Core Type: Symmetric 14 2.479 0.050 Sku#: 1599-10-xx 13 2.541 0.039 Available Wts: 12-16 lb. 12 2.614 0.027 Product Reviews: Bowlers Journal: Published with Permission from Bowlers Journal Core Design: AMF decided to go extremely low with this symmetric core. Its 2.45 RG and .054 Diff produced nearly 6.5” of track flare with our lower pin drilling, and weight hole 2” below the PAP. Coverstock: The orange and black colors blur easily due to the ball’s fast-revving nature. The solid F75 cover is gritted at 1000 for more than enough oil traction. Response time off friction was quick, and traction in oil was well above average. Manufacturer's Intent: “Mega Recovery adds a new look to the Mega Friction line,” says spokesman Eric Thomas. “The Recovery stores energy longer and produces more continuation than the Friction. The ball handles quite a bit of oil and provides bowlers with a predictable finish every shot.” Test Results: This addition to the Mega line provides an aggressive midlane read with surprising continuation downlane. We were delighted we could stay with this hook monster through oil breakdown as we could make aggressive moves inside the oil line and retain a very high pin carry percentage. This is not always the case with low RG, 1000 sanded solid reactives. We were also amazed at its ability to preserve its backend continuation even when thrown into the burn. We rarely experienced any hookout, again a rarity with such a strong, fast revving product. We compared the Mega Recovery to a half-dozen of the top-selling super hookers and it held its own. When to Use: With its aggressive 1000-grit solid reactive cover and ultra low RG core, this ball will give most players their best matchups on longer and heavier volumes of oil. We felt a 2 or 4k grit surface allowed for more extended uses for bowlers possessing slightly slower ball speeds, or those with higher rev-to-speed ratios. We noticed only a 1- to 2-board decrease in total hook when changing the surface from 1000 to 4000, with a move about 1½-ft. later. In regard to our favorite layout options: the 4.5” above and 5” below pin distances provided the highest carry percentages on the six test conditions for our low, medium and higher rev rate test staff members.
