I just curious to see which of these balls people would choose because I'm having difficulty choosing.

The Break by Global 900
or
The Uprising By Track

Let me know what you think.

My brother and I have both been thinking of getting the Track Uprising soon, but I'm not sure. Just watched a review of The Break on youtube and it appears to have a nice reaction if you want a stronger ball. Both would probably be a good choice on heavier conditions, but seeing as how I have neither, thats not a very qualified opinion.

Well I'm debating between the two because I would like one to replace my Widow because it might not last much longer.

Oh also you could add the Odyssey by Roto-Grip into the mix ( that is compare it to the other two as well) but it is more of my last resort ball.

I'd almost think about rebuying the Black Widow, it was my favorite ball and it's fairly cheap. I don't have any specific knowledge about either ball but last time I was at the Pro Shop I was eyeing up the Uprising. I've heard nothing but good things so far.

If not another Black Widow, I'd get the Break out of those two. Seems more like the reaction you'd be looking for. I've heard good things about the Uprising but also a little bad, plus it doesn't seem anything like a Black Widow to me. Hope this helps.

Another Black Widow Solid would be nice, but I don't really want to get another one for two reasons. The first is that I'm kind of fed up with the upkeep involved. And the second, is that I kind of feel like branching out and trying new companies.

The Break, I think would be closer to what I'm looking for. I've also seen a video with the ball drilled something like how I would have mine drilled. But I can't really take that at face value.

However, I've heard good things about the Uprising. It would probably be a killer as well.

I think I'm away from the Uprising. But I stumbled across the Roto-Grip Pluto. Which out or those The Break and the Pluto seems to be a better choice. Keep in mind that I'll have a 15# Cell for heavier condition and Scout Reactive for lighter conditions. So which would be the best on medium conditions.

I'd go with the Pluto there. I think the Break is quite strong, and can handle medium-heavy oil. The Cell will have that covered already as well as heavy oil, so I think the Pluto is a good medium.

I only bring up the Pluto because I like Roto-Grip and it seems that no one is carrying the Odyssey anymore.

Ah okay. I personally think it's the better option. There'd be too much of a gap between the Break and Scout in my opinion. I think there's a couple other options if you want to try other companies though. Storm's Rapid Fire would fit the slot well too. The XS Power by Lane Masters or even Brunswick's Smash Zone are options as well.
