Looking for some help from the Track gurus
« on: December 16, 2008, 02:41:08 AM »
I have a Kinetic (4000 abralon pad) and it is drilled with the pin 1 inch above the ring finger and the mass bias 1 1/4 right of the thumb (I love this ball).

I just ordered an up-rising with a 3-4 inch pin and 2 1/2 top weight. I am looking for your take on the up-rising. I have read it is a strong ball and I have read it squirts for some people. I am also looking for some drilling suggestions. How would you compare the Kinetic at 4000 and the up-rising oob??

We have medium heavy oil and I start by standing with my left foot on the 27 board and swinging the ball over the second arrow (10 board).

My stats are in my profile. Thank you in advance for your help.

I have a 15.4# Up-rising with a 1 3/4 pin and 1 3/4 top. I drilled it with the Track #1 drill with no X-hole. I took it to my league with OOB cover and the ball was kinda squirty playing straight up 5. I washed out (I rarely wash out) and put the ball back in the bag.

Pro shop brought the cover down to 1500 and I played the same line and the ball reacted much stronger with good continuation into the pocket. I used it the last 3 weeks in league and I am pleased with the drilling and the cover now.

Last week the guy we crossed with had a brand new Up-rising (with blue swirls in it?) and his ball was OOB cover and he was getting a ton of under-over with it. His drilling was pin about 1 o'clock above the ring finger, cg in palm and mb down about 3-3.5 inches right of thumb. I was a little surprised at the reaction because I never saw that reaction from my Up-rising before I took the cover down. He was having a tough time keeping the ball in the pocket but when he did, the ball had fantastic continuation. It drove hard into the pocket. He was playing 15 to 5 but if he missed slightly left the ball crossed over. He's a 200 avg bowler but his set was only 167-166-172.

Go to the Track forum on their website and check out some of the responses about this ball. One guy drilled the #4 drilling and he quickly had to plug it and use the #1 drilling on it. I believe from the responses on the track site, most people are using the #1 drilling and taking the cover down some. It's working for me.
