The Rising, color me impressed
« on: February 10, 2008, 10:59:14 AM »
I just got my rising and I do have to say i'm very impressed. When you throw this ball you see it skate and really pick up hard before it makes a big turn on the backend.

I can't say I shot 300 out of the box or some ridiculous scores but I can say that I have found ball that gives me a strong yet predictable backend move on heavier side of medium oil patterns.

I did not use the suggested layout, I have trouble with most pin under balls so we went with a 5.5" pin to pap, pin up layout, mass bias at a 45° angle (3.5" from my pap) layout.

# 1 layout,pin down.the ball just hit to hard for me.it did'nt matter how much room I gave it.I tried it 4000 + polish and it was way to flippy.500 + polish seems good,I might go 1000 + polish.

Just wanted to add a little more, almost a mini review.

This ball on a house shot just straight wheels, it forces me inside to the flooded part and I have too keep it tight, its just way strong in box finish for the house shot at my local center at least.

The ball really flips hard on the backends, and though it does, it still rolls through the deck, it doesn't just die after the hooking motion as I was informed it probably would by going with the layout that I did (5 1/2 inch pin to pap, pin up, mass bias at a 45° angle, 3 1/2" from my pap).

And the most intriguing thing about the ball though is the fact for me it doesn't struggle to make the corner when the layouts break down. As it happens and many others can't get there ball to turn over or get the flat ten I find that the Rising hasn't been plagued when the lanes carrydown, this one of the most pleasant surprises for me with the ball as I figured it would really struggle on carrydown.

Though it is really strong it is still weaker than my Resurgence. This is expected as my Resurgence is the strongest piece i've ever used. I have had some issues with going from my resurgence to my BWP as the BWP just wasn't enough or couldn't make a controllable turn downlane and thats perfectly where the rising fits for me, its strong downlane but its a great ball to start with on heavy-mediums or mediums if you want to wheel the ball.

I will make a big review in a few weeks after it sees a little more of non THS shots but so far i'm really impressed.

The Rising is indeed a beast.  Too bad 9 times out of 10 I can't use it in league unless I want to wear my arm out covering just about every board at 20+ mph.

I love mine too... think the guys in Track RD will have a tough time coming out with a ball that can be better then The Rising.

Hi everyone.  This is my first post to this forum.  I have been out of bowling for about 10 years and decided to finally get back into it the other day.  The last balls I purchased were about 10-12 years ago.  They consist of the original Brunswick Zone and the Quantum Violet Hook.  After doing some research I found that several years after those balls were introduced, companies started pooring money into R&D with respect to coverstocks and mostly core technology.  Well, last night I picked up my freshly drilled Track's "The Rising"......I AM IN LOVE..!!  That ball hits far better than any ball I ever owned.  I'm not a hi-rev player and that thing still has an amazing backend.  My main complaint with the Quantum was that it never carried the ten pin very well.  This ball destroys that.  My first games with the ball were a 215, 246, 184 (thumb hole needed adjusting after warming up) and a 205.  Not bad for being out of it for 10 years.

Yea, i was pretty happy with mine, moved a little to much. Threw it for a few games, still to strong, slapped some polish on it. Got squirty, not the reaction i liked. Took it back to box, just sanded over the polish, and LOOOOOOVED the reaction. Shot 660 something, had a shot at a 700, stoned a 9 pin, 8 pin, and missed at least 2 10 pins.

Very happy with the reaction, i don't think i adjusted all night. Had to tighten my line up a little towards the end of the night, but it was there all night.
