Rising Star or Wrecker?
« on: March 23, 2013, 08:21:05 AM »
For those of you that have both, what is the differences between the two. I currently have a R/S. It seems like this is my go to ball for the ths when the lanes have broken down. I am really thinking about getting another R/S before I cant find one, so when this one is ready for retirement I  will have one to replace it. Or will the Wrecker do the same job?

Wrecker is much more ball than the rising star.

For me the RS is much smoother and arcy whereas the Wrecker has a much more pronounced backend motion.

Pretty much the same ball.  Both Hybrid, exact same numbers on RG and Diff.  I believe its the same cover with a new name (ultimate vision changed to the new cover naming number system)  Drilled the same they should be clones of each other

     When I first saw the numbers and that it was a Hybrid coverstock same as the RS, I was like do you like black/Gold or Blue/white. Called my source at Storm and was told that the Wrecker is going to have more entry angle. Maybe the same coverstock as RS with a different name, but from the information I received and reviews from people who have thrown both, I would guess the the Wrecker has a higher ratio of pearl to solid than the RS does.
     Rising Star is my favorite ball in my arsenal and bought a second one to replace when I heard it was discontinued.

I believe I am going to get another R/S and keep it for when this one needs to be retired.
