Strapper,
The Apocalypse has an Asymmetrical core and even though it has a higher RG than our RS-1 that weightblock should naturally pick up sooner. That with the combination of the solid/pearl coverstock you should be fine. I would suggest the following for layouts (something along these lines):
apocalypse
2-3" pin from cg
put the pin underneath your fingers 4" from your axis and kick the cg right and below your midlane. This should allow you to place a hole 1 - 2" below your midline on the VAL. I would also knock the surface down to 600 or 800 grit.
Overall you should be able to handle heavier conditions with this ball and get a much stronger roll on the backend.
RS-1
3-4" pin from cg
put the pin above the fingers and either kick the cg in (5 x 5.5) or stack it (5x5). You won't need a hole with this layout usually. If it skids to much for you out of the box I suggest taking it into the pro shop and sanding it down to 600 and then lightly polish it back up with STORM reacta-shine.
If you have any other questions please call me.
Thanks,
