I have a Fury Pearl and it has some great backend. I have heard that the Track Uprising has great backend as well. The only thing is that I throw a 15# ball and I don't really know the difference in the reactions.

Either way you go, I would personally stick with a pearlized ball for that kind of reaction.

I think that if you buy the same balls at 14 pounds, you won't have issues getting them back to the pocket. If they are too light for you now, you are probably over throwing them. Plus, 12 pounds has a simple core. Most balls don't use their complex core until you get to 13 pounds. Not saying that balls under 13 won't hook, but the complex core in the heavier balls helps.

Like GP said, just get the same balls at the higher weight. When I get back to getting some new equipment with my change in weight I might try that for a few balls, but since most of mine are discontinued it might not be that easy for me.
