    The core does effect how the ball rotates down the lane. Rev rate is measured off the hand not down the lane which is why it doesn't have an effect on that stat.

    The core has no impact on how much the ball will rev up, it does have a tremendous impact on when it will rev up.

    How can it be better stated if it's just as wrong?

    Under normal conditions:

    The ball revs up twice, during each shot.

    The first time is when the bowler releases the ball with some force causing rotation.

    Once the ball leaves the bowlers hand, it stops revving up.

    The ball remains at a constant rev rate until the ball encounters friction.

    Until the ball reaches the state of rolling, it will continue to rev up.

    When the ball revs up occurs due to the bowlers release, and friction, both of which are external to the ball's core.

    How much the ball revs up is related to ball speed, initial rev rate, and if the ball encounters enough friction to achieve the roll state.

    What the core affects is how quick the ball revs up compared to the force that causes the rev up.

    So you don't believe that the core has any effect how far down the lane the ball is when rev's up? Not that any of this relates to the original question. Which was about rev rates which are measured off the hand so it can't be effected by core , cover, or surface.
