Anyone own both or have compared it with others. Please
let me know the difference you see between the two. I've seen
The rising star thrown by two friends. I can see the rising star being clean
through the front and reving up hard in the mids and coming off
the dry hard. Haven't seen anyone throw the Bandit yet.

I have both, drilled identically, same surface prep. Bandit is noticeably longer with more on the back end. Rising Star is more forgiving. Any other questions you have, let me know.

We reviewed and tested both.
The Rising Star is going to be slightly less ball than the Bandit overall. However, it offers very good control. It is pretty clean through the fronts and reads the midlane nicely while still offering a good move on the backend.
The Bandit is a lot more aggressive at the breakpoint. It transitions sharply. I would consider this ball much more of a skid/flip type reaction.
