Carl:
The thing that is funny to me is that I went to Bowl Expo, and several trade shows held by distributors, and all the Track Reps at these shows were saying that this ball would be within the specs that I talked about before. I understand things changed, I just think people were expecting one thing, and then something else was delivered.
I spoke with Randy Tightloft (sorry if I got that wrong) from Ebonite that is doing the Rising seminar and I just ask him if you can do any asymmetrical layout and he said yes. Mo's LevRG has as heavy of a core as the Rising and similiar Differential, and there are a variety of layout that you can do with that ball. I think the one recommended layout thing is to keep it simple but it ends up confusing pro shop when they don't see and can't do exactly what they see in the picture.
The 360 technology has been around with any Asymmetrical ball, but hasn't really been talked about. Where the Mass Bias is located creates a plane that goes straight through the ball and comes out on the other side. This will have with any Asymmetrical ball. I have seen Mass Bias X-Out or Blems that the CG is above the Mass Bias and Pin line. So in that case you would need to bring the Mass Bias to the other side of the ball and lay it out using the plane of the Mass Bias on the opposite side of the ball, basically how it is described in the Rising sheets.
As for the other layouts they are suppose to be up on Track's website November 1st.
