It does have a new coverstock in addition to being polished. The polish alone will help aid in the length.
On a 15 pound ball, the RG is a little lower at 2.48. The Rising was 2.50. The diff on a 15 pound is slightly higher, .056 versus .052 and the int diff, or core strength very slightly higher at .032 versus .031. These are the number right off the web site. Core numbers are ever so slightly different but with the slight changes and the new coverstock, should make for one hell of a ride!
