Rising vs The New Balls???
« on: June 17, 2009, 08:15:36 AM »
I was looking through the posts to see if this question was asked and I didn't see one..so I will ask.

How does the Rising compare to the new balls?  I was reading up on the new balls and the naming system (which I think is cool contrary to some on this forum)and I believe if I am reading right then the Rising would fall somewhere between the the 930T and the 715A right?  Also since I currently use the Rising and the Dry Heat, which of the 3 balls would compliment those two?  All my specs are in my profile.  The new ball line sounds exciting and I would like to have some to compliment the Rising (which I love!)  Any suggestions from the Track staffers.  I was thinking of either a line-up of:

1. The Rising
2. 715A or 505C
3. Dry Heat
4. Spare Ball
Advice/Suggestions?????

Thanks in advance for your help.

The Rising actually had a core strength of .033 I believe.

The reaction shape between the 930T and 715A will be drastic. You are going to go from our most skid/flip ball to a a ball made for heavier oil. I would say if you had to compare the Rising to any of the new releases, it would be closest to the 930T but it will still be different.

Waiting to put holes in mine. Should have reviews in shortly.

As far as a Track lineup, I think the 715A will be an excellent ball to run over THS conditions. If you already like your Rising and have a control type ball in the Dry Heat, the 715A might be the best option.
