currently have a 716c and a shooting star.  i really do not bowling in a lot of heavy oil tournaments.

 

Wanted to add a 3rd ball to my bag

 

Do i go defiant? or rising star?

 

Both my other balls are drill pin up 5X4X2 same layout recommended by my pro shop guy.

 

my pap is 6 3/4 over and 1 1/2 up

 

375-350 rev rate

 15mph

 

both my balls hook a fair amount. If i was to drill a ball should i use the same layout again??

But my main question is the Rising star THAT much different from  a shooting star.  its worth it to have both of them and both drilled the same way???

 

 

 

I have a Defiant - unless you have enough oil - this is not the ball you want.   i also have the Rising Star, excellent ball. you could polish the Shooting Star to get more length, but the Rising Star is made for more length and a sharp move.  it also depends if you use your 716c for more oil volume or the Shooting Star for more oilier conditions. the Shooting Star is made for medium to heavy oil, thus being a solid cover. the Rising Star is for medium type shots, but don't let it fool you its stronger than you think it would be, it has a nice smooth arch that continunes - and it hits very hard.if you need a ball for dryer conditions i would look for a Dark Star, if you can find one.
