I believe you have the order of those balls just right. VRP is going to be earlier then all of the other two with the same sharp turn in the back. The other two are about 2 feet longer than each other.

These 3 balls are really fairly close in total reaction, shapes are different. Bandit probably gets the most length, with the VRP having the most total hook. As a hybrid, the Rising Star is smoother. The core in that ball seems to want to roll a little earlier than the numbers would otherwise dictate. Having directly compared the Bandit and Rising Star, drilled identically with the same surface, the Bandit gets noticeably more length, with about the same total hook as the Rising Star.
Hope this is helpful.
