Layout: I drilled this ball very similiar to the Dynothane Anomaly I had. Pin above ring finger and cg kicked out slightly. This layout required no weight hole.

Lane Condition: WOOD LANES, 38ft buffed to 44ft, heavy oil in the middle tapered out to the gutter. Like a Top Hat

LINE: On the fresh league shot when first started I had to stand 29, laying the ball down at about 21 getting to 14 at the arrows with my breakpoint at about 9 board. As the oil carried down (and one 2-8-10 too late) towards the end of the 1st game I had to move my feet right to about 27----moving everything out a board or two.

REACTION: This was my biggest suprise, the Resurrection was everything the Anomaly wasn't. This ball moved, and with a slight adjustment handled the carrydown very well. Once the ball was released you could see it reving up at about 35 ft and when it hit the backends it was GONE! STRAIGHT LEFT. My first few shots in practice I was trying to stand on 24, and play roughly 12 at the arrows.....GOODLUCK. This ball was very strong, much stronger than I figured it would be. I see this as my ball to play around the carrydown with.

IMPACT: The HIT on this ball rivals that of the RUSH. One huge difference, it keeps the pins low, other than the 2-8-10, it carried everything, leaving me only 1 ten pin to shoot at for the entire night, which is good for me. Watching the pins fly back while staying low, it looked like the RR was driving through the pin deck by itself.

READABILITY: This part of the ball is very difficult to measure after only 3 games. However, when the oil carried down and that 2-8-10 was left, the ball told me is was time to move. I see this ball as something to read the lanes, and when it hits dry, you will know it.

OVERALL: I have to love the ball, it won me a strike jackpot tonight paying for itself 4 times over, and this was only the first night out with it. With the recent purchases of the Apocalypse, Rush and now the Resurrection, I am starting to gain alot of confidence with Roto Grip in my hands. NOT quite what I have with Track, but close. It is stronger than I figured it would be, but that is OK, I know some simple coverstock tweeking could take care of that. HOWEVER....it is so good how it is out of the box, I will not change it. This ball is fantastic----so far. REMEMBER, this is me, and this is just a quick review....I will post a thorough review once I have a decent amount of games on the ball.

EX,
How did your Resurrection come in box condition? Just wondering....also, could you please do a comparison in overall reaction between this ball, the Rush and Apocalypse ??

Thanks.......

Better....much better!

kid--you got a deal!!!

Rick---Yep, right out of box.

Jeff---My guess is that it was considered the 1000 Matte, however, it had a slight shine to it. I do not think it was quite 1500 though. In comparison to the RUSH---slightly more angular and they both seem to start reading the lane at about the same time, I think it keeps the pins lower when it hits. In comparison to the Apocalypse---just a hair less angular, and hooks up a hair sooner as well. Between the 3 balls, I have liked them all, but right out of box this ball impresses me most. I will do a more in depth comparison on this same thread a little later when I have more time.

Hope this helps.
