Terra Power Resurrection and Talent
« on: May 06, 2014, 09:36:41 PM »
I have a couple of questions regarding these two. I'll start with the Resurrection first. LordField.com has the surface at 2000 with a factory sheen, but lfbowling.com has the surface at 1000 with polish. I guess I'm confused as to what the actual surface prep is for this ball. As for the Talent, I'm just curios as to what lane conditions are best suited for its use.

Thanks
Steve

The Terra Power Resurrection does not come polished. I'm guessing the one that says polished is a typo, or maybe got mixed up with one of the other releases in the Terra series?

BTW, this ball looks pretty good for me so far. It definitely hooks. I've only thrown it once, and I forced it because I wanted to throw it but they were too dry for a ball that agressive. It still struck 10 times for 238 the one game I got in with it (before switching to the Lane Masters Black Pearl Blue Ocean, which was way more appropriate for the conditions). We were surprised how hard the Terra still hit and how continuous thru the pin deck it was after bouncing off the late league dry on the outside... or swimming in the carry-down with a break point farther left.  From the 5th arrow it still had minimal deflection. Im excited to see how it handles some oil. I like to get more games in more centers before writing an official review, but so far I like it.

As far as the Talent goes, I should find out either this weekend or early next week. It's home, undrilled, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to get by my pro shop.

Both are great balls!  I love the Terra Power.  It is very smooth, yet has a strong backend.  I find that it is very forgiving.  If I miss my mark to the inside, it will hold long enough to hit the pocket.  Here is a video of me throwing it a week and a half ago!

I've been fairly critical of LF's marketing up to this point, so I feel I need to also say that these balls both look pretty good.  An extremely important part of marketing a new product is giving the customer a reason to try them over something they are already familiar with.  The reaction has been there, but these balls would sell off the wall.  Like them. 
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?
