Jackal Rising vs Ghost
« on: December 31, 2017, 03:04:02 AM »
I just ordered the Jackal Rising. I also currently have the Ghost. I am thinking about polishing up the Ghost and keeping Rising OOB. Still not sure which Jackal to polish but I feel one should be polished just to keep some separation between the 2 balls. Ghost is drilled pin down and I am going to drill the Rising pin up. I was wondering if anybody has had a chance to throw both the Ghost and the Rising and what your thought are about the 2 balls. Rising at OOB would give me a great ball in the heavy stuff and the Ghost at 1k polish should be a nice step down from the Rising. Also have the Shock at 4k and the Tag Cannon at 4k polish, and a urethane for spares. Bowl mostly on house shots with some occasional tournaments mixed in. Also currently have the venom Cobra at 2k with polish but would probably leave that ball home on most nights. Too close to my Tag Cannon which is a great ball.

I would polish the ghost if it were me and let the Rising be your new beast.

thanks. It really depends on what you want to do with the rest of your arsenal. Polishing the ghost might change its relationship to the shock with abralon. So you might want to experiment. I would try 2000 and light polish if you want it shiny. You could also go 4000 abralon which may make it different enough from the Rising and probably be a little more backend than the 2000 shock.

We think alike. I was think Rising OOB. Ghost 2 k polish. Shock 4K abralon and Tag Cannon 4000 polish. Should give me decent separation.
