Core size

Are the cores in the BH and Lunatic considered to be short or tall cores?

Shorter core always roll better for me.  Taller cores lope too much for my game

A taller core will usually have a higher differential cause of the difference between the x and y axis of the core or the width and height, plus they tend to be more med rg rating. The shorter cores are usually lower differential cores that are more lower rg cause the mass is concentrated more towards the center of the ball.

Low rg has a higher rev rate then high rg. Don't confuse that with hook.


First BH  R.G. 2.487   Hi-rev ball
Lunatic   R.G. 2.553   About average to above average rev ball

RotoGrip Pluto R.G. 2.61 low rev ball

With a hi RG like the pluto it gets the ball further down the lanes with out burning up its energy. The Bh and Lunatic depending on drill pattern will tend to roll sooner and rev stronger in the front of the lanes. Need to a have a little of each.

…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.
