My much prized Darkstar has, unfortunately, bit the dust(may it rest in peace). To be specific, it cracked, about 3.5 inches long, right across my ball track. So, I am looking for a reasonable facsimile of the Darkstar, which, for me, went long, but didn't jump like crazy at the break point. What would be a suitable replacement, either from Roto, or from anyone else. I'll try any company. Thanks.

The Shatter uses the same core with a stronger pearl cover. A weaker layout will yield close to the same reaction. The dark star was a great one but the shatter is a beast when you have friction.

Good point forgot its the Rising Star that has the same core.

Take a look at the Hammer Nail. 

For me the Blue Pearl Hook from 900 Global was very close to my Dark Star with almost identical drills and surface...

I have a cobalt vibe drilled same as I had my Dark Star. Very different ball. The vibe is way snappier.  I really want something less snappy but just as clean. Just very clean but smooth off the dry. I need for when lanes get fried.

Try a 300C, drilled with pin under the bridge area.
