Core Shapes?
« on: August 17, 2017, 05:15:37 PM »
Do core shapes matter? Do you think they make a difference? Not so much the number's but the shape of the core?
It seems to me or at least I got it in my head that they do despite the rg and diff numbers.
What say you?
The harder I try the harder they fall

I started this topic because I've been trying to find something high rg that wasn't made for dry and wasn't flippy. I like low rg stuff because it's easier to control for me it seems but I have problems getting them down lane once the shot breaks in on one of the houses I bowl at. I'm going on my third season at this place and have two balls I like a lot here, a Bad Intentions and a Roto Grip Venus. The BI is my heavy oilier and shot shaper and the Venus is for the dry.
Anyways over the years I've learned that I favor the big round cores more but they always seem to come low rg,not the Venus and I absolutely love that ball. High rg,round fat core... But yes I agree it's not the be all end all as other stuff works well on different patterns and lanes. Thanks to all that chimed in to share their knowledge as it's much appreciated.   

You just described the Desert Ops. High RG with more cover than the RG ball you have. Big core, lower diff.
