With some polish the ball will come to life. I used my Rising out of the box and it was arcing nicely but on a regular house shot it's too much surface. I would take it down to 2000 and add some polish to it. Depending how much oil you have I wouldn't over polish it to a glass surface. Also concerning the flare, my rings almost roll over my thumb which is not the norm for me but I do get over 5 inches of flare. It's my go to ball these days.

Do you have a pic of this odd track that you're experiencing?
If I had to put money on it and take a random shot in the dark, I'd say that the ball is probably burning up a bit...but that wouldn't explain the track you're seeing.

I've got multiple Risings that are anywhere from 500 dull to 4000 and polish.
The ball is quite versitle if you make a good decision on cover prep.

Having the exact same problem. Thought about hitting the 4000 with Beans sauce to see if that helped.

I liked my mean machine at 1k no polish, but was worried that adding more surface to the Rising would make the problem worse. At any rate, think I'll try the 1k no polish tomorrow at league and if it does not work, Kinetic, Temper or Arsenal Artillery if the lanes are not oiled heavy.

I did like the Rising's carry at OOB, but if I got the ball out too far, the lanes were fried on the outside and it visibly struggled getting down the lane and hit like an absolute marshmellow. I moved inside but had less recovery with the Rising then I did with my Kinetic or Temper. If I made the shot, which was tight, the Rising carried the corners better than the Kinetic or Temper, just not much room to miss, probably due to my up the back release.

1k no polish the ball will dominate a medium-heavy shot, i hated this ball until the surface change now use it weekly for games 1 or sometimes 2 .
