Brian, that sounds like what happened to me with the ultimate inferno. It got into the roll very quickly and would be dead on the backend. It was even drilled simular to your absolute.
So with my absolute I put the pin above the ring finger and the XHole in my PAP. With that I get a ball that gets into a roll early but it still kicks on the back very well.
Maybe you should plug it up and try to move the pin above the ring finger and see what happens. Or with the demand on here just sell it for a good price and drill up a new one.
PS, what did that Ignitor do for you that you sent me, I was just being curious.
