I picked up a Rising last week and I'm impressed thus far. I shot 722 last night in league condition. There were five guy's playing in my track area, between first and second arrow. I moved one board all last night and this ball was impressive. The ball goes fairly long, with great mid-lane and back end explosion. It hits the pocket with authority, the pins explode and stay low. The mix and carry is much better than most other newer balls. Even with the flood up the middle, this ball came back from the outside and it really never skidded for me. It appears, this ball will go through oil with movement. I kept the ball box finish, with the recommend drilling, pin below and beneath my fingers, with no weight hole. I never had a Track ball until this one and I hope it last longer, than most of the other high end junk balls on the market. I'll post again in the future, to report the progress of this ball.
