With the phenomenal success of the original Rising Star, the Shooting Star must utilize the new Neutron core as the power source. It's just that good!

The Neutron core's medium RG- medium differential shape is based on the concept started with the original Photon core. But with the Neutron core, you'll find an even lower radius of gyration (RG) and higher differential in the heavier weights which hooks up heavy on the backend.

To increase the midlane roll and bring an earlier break point, we looked at a few different options. Testing the Ultimate Vision coverstock in a solid version produced the desired motion. Prepped with 2000-grit Abralon, the Shooting Star created a break point that was two feet earlier and more rounded, or smoother. Controlling the pocket is often the key to higher scores. Shoot for higher scores with the new Shooting Star.

Solid Reactive

Neutron Core

The Neutron™ core boasts a lower RG and higher differential when compared to the Photon™ core - this transforms into an earlier read and stronger backend reaction.

The late-rolling Neutron™ core is a model of consistency, producing good length and strong motion down-lane.
