Is it good to have more or less revs?

I don't know a whole lot about bowling and I am fairly new to taking the sport seriously, but I will say revs are overrated. I actually think I put too many revs on my ball and it makes adjusting to lane conditions a lot harder. Especially since I am bowling in a 5 person league. Now that I am finally figuring out how to adjust my hand positioning on the ball to control the axis rotation, it is making the adjustments a little easier rather than adjusting my speed

I Personally don't give a sh*t about revs, i would rather work on accuracy in hitting my target and earn a higher average than to try to rev the ball up and get extreme carry every frame. In my mind rev's should be a secondary goal that you attempt to increase once you get the accuracy down, telling a 140 average bowler to rev the ball up may increase their average but wont help them learn.

As Cuda stated above, inexperienced, mid-average (120-160) bowlers who rely on revs generally have a hard time with accuracy on strike balls and a heck of a time with any spare on the ball hand side. Accuracy and control with trump speed and revs any day. That's coming from a guy who does control both speed and revs too.
