Need layout help with Resurgence
« on: October 24, 2007, 02:23:51 AM »
Guys, I need suggestions...

I'm a low rev lefty with max axis rotation. Avg speed 16-17.
I have my new Resurgence drilled with 3 inch pin 1/4 inch under middle finger and CG slightly swung out. Ending statics are 3/8 thumb and 1/2 side (FYI....)
PAP is a bit suspect, have rec'd different reports, but consensus is 4 x 1/4 up.
There is no weight hole (yet)...

I bowl on a long heavy oil shot. I have a Special Agent with 2 inch pin up between fingers and multiple Infernos (Brunswick OI and AI primarily) with pin left of ring, CG stacked. The Special will play this long oil shot pointed up from 8, dead slow, with heavy break (but not skid flippy at all) on the very end. That's basically from my high axis rotation once it does kick in...

The Infernos are useless on this shot.

So far, I've adjusted surface on the Resurgence from 600 to 2000. I can't get the Resurgence to do anything other than a very mellow turn if I slow down to 13-14 MPH max. At 15-16, it slides by. When it does hit, I leave 90% weak 7's. Hell, I even leave a few 5 pins breaking into the pocket and that NEVER happens... Clearly it's picture is sitting next to the definition of "wet noodle" in the dictionary, that much I do know.

I am positive it's not burning up on this verified heavy condition and am totally puzzled by the weak reaction after what I've heard. I certainly expected more than the Special Agent... Other lefties are having issues in this league also, but I'm by far the most locked out of any I've seen so far this year  

Is it possible I've got the pin-PAP set to react too late? Should I move it to left of ring, where my Infernos have been successful on a medium shot?
Weight hole?

Thanks
L50

Other than just ball drilling/surface prep advice, have you considered changing your release any to get rid of some of that side rotation and get a little more forward roll?  That's the easiest way I can think of to get earlier, more consistent read which would help get better entry angle and knock out some of those corner pins, especially on heavy oil.  It looks like you have about the same rev rate I do, you just have more of a spinner kind of release based on what you're saying -- I changed my release over the summer to reduce my axis rotation and get the ball rolling more, and it's helped my game a lot, especially when it comes to knocking out corner pins.  It did require rethinking my approach on how to play lanes, etc. but it was worth it.  It's at least something to talk to a coach about.  Good luck.

my resurgence is drilled pin up over fingers and all I can say is with the high pin and 3.14 top wt. this ball likes to roll not skid snap.work on you're release and give it some time to roll in the mids and watch the pins fly!

I'm a lefty and bought this ball because my houses seems to be putting more oil down lately.It has a 3" pin.Mine is drilled with the pin about 1" to the left of the ring finger and the CG about 2" below the ring finger on a direct line between the pin and the thumb hole.I throw the typical lefty shot of standing just left of center and putting it out between 1st and 2nd arrow. 14.5mph is about normal for me. I'm not getting as much hook as I thought I would after hearing this ball described as "hook in a box".I do seem to carry well with it (shot a 286 my 6th game with it but also a 157 my 8th game)but am a little dissapointed after reading the hype and reviews about how much it hooks.Am considering a weight hole or a re-drill.
