I want to have a flood/heavy oil ball that I can use on these patterns AND when my Machine just can't make the turn. I want a ball that has a smooth, predictable arc, but doesn't burn up so much that it goes into a forward roll at the pins.
Oh, and here's a not-so-important question: What types of tricks would the Rising do with a 3 3/8 x 3 3/8 drilling!?!

If you have any kind of rev rate and a decent track, probally flare out and have nothing left for the backend.

Time will only tell on what The Rising will do. I'm sure Rick, Carl, or Mark will chime in here. Hope this helps!

I'm just thinking about this more now because there's a guy on ebay with and NIB Mean Machine, 3" pin (PERFECT!) and No reserve, currently @ $60! But I won't rush out there and buy it if it won't work well for me.

Both pieces are stronger compared to our Machine of course, however, both pieces also have a place in our arsenal. The Rising with our new Mega Tron core can produce quite a few various reaction shapes compared to our Mean.
I'd get both especially if you can get the Mean at a good price and the Rising is just a must. In Vegas at our Ebonite Showcase, I watched the strong handed players just destroy the shot and then I even helped line up the strokers and tweeners to where they saw how hard this ball hits. The Rising truly is a must...

I thought having the ball get into a roll at the pins was a desirable thing?
I said "forward roll." I don't want a strong ball with no backend.

I want what's going to be best for me (pricewise, as well). I'm only going to actually be using my selection, I'm sure, for next summer's PBA Experience. So that'll be the Shark, Scorpion, maybe Chameleon. The other patterns I'll deal with with the Machine, Artillery, and/or Equation. That's the theory anyway.
Rick would get both, he says, and that brings up this possibility - The Rising would be too strong a ball, and there would be a gap between the Machine and it. *OR* I get the Mean Machine, which I find to be too weak, and on PBA Shark it doesn't quite cut it where The Rising would. Whatever, you know? I'll wait it out.

i have a mean machine, but i think I'm going to get "the rising" and have it drilled stronger than my mean, i need a ball with a extemly strong lay out for when i run into long oil conditions at some tournaments.
I second that. My MM has a pretty strong layout, and set too 1000 abralon turns the corners hard, but acts like an Equation(no offense to that ball) on the longer patterns. Only a matter of time now...
