Looking for feedback on the Rival series, particularly interested in Perfect Rival. I'm after something in 15# that would be similar to but above an Absolute Inferno with a bigger backend.
Feedback appreciated.
--------------------
Signature? I don''t need no stinking signature...

I have all 3. The original is the earliest and smoothest of the 3, the Arch is weaker, cleaner up front and stronger downlane and the Perfect is in the middle of the others, stronger then the Arch with stronger backend reaction.

Just another hack with too much equipment.

For me the PR actually ended up being stronger than the original. The original was more of a medium oil ball where as the PR was able to handle the heavier oils I see. Didn't have the Arch but I would say the PR would be the ball you are looking for. I would just go with a further pin to PAP cause the Rivals are all fairly rolly.

The PR got overlooked i have to say it was one of the best balls that came out. my first match on this ball i had 300 and 800 any ball with those kinds of numbers must have some good in it.
