I used it for the 1st time tonight and it didn't have the continuation in the back end that I was expecting. In fact it was weaker than both my Big Rig Diesel @ 1500 abralon and my Rapid Fire with OOB cover. I couldn't even use it until the 3rd game tonight which is 2nd shift on the oil.

It has the #1 drill with the pin under and in center of the grip line and the mb kicked out 3 inches. The cover is OOB. I was thinking about knocking the cover down to 4000 abralon. Any other suggestions?

3 holes of fun!!

I think the move down to 4000 could help you a bit.  I also have my Up-Rising with the same drill, and kind of saw the same thing, but I was happy with the reaction.  Not as much flip as my Black Widow Venom, but that really is to be expected.  I had to work with it a bit to find the niche for it, and don't get to throw it as much as I'd like, since I made the move to throwing mostly Hammer, but I do get it out once in a while in practice, and the hitting power really is great when you find the line with it.  As always, give it a few different surfaces, and try them on different oil patterns, and see if you find anything that feels comfortable.  I read that Track felt this was their "crown jewel" type ball, not sure it's that great of a piece, but it definitely is a very effective ball on the right conditions, for me, at least.

I gave up on my Uprising in oob and hit it with 1000 abralon and then clean n sheen. Tried it last night at practice, wooden lanes, THS, with heavier volume outside than normal no real bumper so I had to play relatively straight up 10. First game 238. Put it down and threw several other balls without good results, other than marginal with the Temper (195).  Threw one more game with the Uprising, 279. I hope it holds out during league play.

When oob fails, 1000 abralon and cleen n sheen seems to work on just about anything for me for some reason. You may want to give it a try. Also, Beans on 1000 is o.k. but if I get too much shine, I usually end up with over and under on fresh shots. Note, I do not want a mirror shine on any ball. Just light shine to get good reaction off the drier part of the lane.

Those that can do. Those that can't complain. Pimpin ain't easy, but it's mandatory.

Most things we like, we don't need. Most things we need, we don't like. Don't confuse your likes with your needs.

What's your PAP measurements?

Definately try knoocking of the polish to 4000 or even 2000.

Rick's right on in his assesment about surface adjustments and energy consumption on the lane.

Talking about the drilling that places the pin 1" above the center of your grip and the M.B. 3" right of the thumb. What we have found is the pin needs to be between 5 - 5 1/2" from your pap if your measurements produce a result less that that say 4" then the ball kind of loped.

We really saw this at the Track Training Camp. Lou Franzetti has shorter PAP measuremenst and his Rising would do exactly that, lope. Now I could throw his stuff and my PAP measure ments are over 5" and I could hook the lane with his ball.
