There was nothing covert about it, EJ Tackett absolutely dominated the 2025 PBA Tour season winning his 4th Player of the Year title and his 3rd in a row!  That’s not just a hot streak, it is absolute domination.  To celebrate we are releasing a ball based off one of his favorite releases of all time, the Covert Revolt.  Introducing the limited-edition Covert VIP EXJ.  Featuring the same core as the Covert Revolt and an upgraded cover, this is a true benchmark weapon built to deliver a powerful, controlled motion on medium-heavy oil.

Vanquish™ Symmetric

Featuring the Vanquish Symmetrical core originally featured in the Revolt line in weights 16#-14#, this powerhouse produces an explosive 2.47 RG to increase rev potential and .056 differential for aggressive track flare.  This combination delivers unstoppable strength and control.  In 13#-12#, the symmetrical Quadfire™ core is featured for fantastic specs, even at the lower weight.

Leverage HFS Reactive

The Turmoil HFS solid cover found 12 years ago on the original Covert Revolt was a favorite.  But the game has evolved.  Oil has gotten heavier and thicker leaving the original cover in need of an upgrade.  The new Leverage HFS Solid cover offers the same length and control as the Turmoil HFS cover, but with added strength for modern oil conditions.   When paired with the Vanquish core, this cover provides enough length through the front of the lane with plenty of traction in the mid-lane for a smooth and controllable ball motion and nonstop drive through the pins.
