What is RG and What does it do
« on: June 22, 2005, 11:43:44 AM »
I was reading the post about Dulling the Intense inferno 2 600 that drew some attention to me so what is the diffrence between a high RG ball and a Low Rg ball.

Lane one is good because they use brunswick's Covers.

A ball with a low RG will want to start sooner, and *typically* roll earlier and have a smoother reaction.  High RG balls *typically* go longer and break a bit harder.

they used to label low rg balls as "center heavy" and high rg balls as "cover heavy".

Vertigo is 2.47(low)
 http://www.stormbowling.com/ball/ball.asp?ballid=192
so I'm gonna say that 2.52 is low also, if I am wrong correct me.

Yes it is correct the Ace is 2.52 also, and it is low

Depends on the coverstock and bowler I'd imagine.

According to you guys info, High would let it go longer.

Low: Absolute Inferno 2.6 ("Ultra-Low" according to Brunswick)
Medium: BVP Punisher 4.6
Higher Medium - Slate Blue Quantum 5.9
High: Groove Reactive 8.0


So if the absolute with the 2.6 is ultra low and gets into a roll pretty quick, then why does my intense inferno go real long and then snap! It's a 2.52!! Lower than the AI.

Because the 2.6 is ona  scale of Rg avg. from 1-10 its not the actual rg value. Its super low at a 2.6 out of 10 possible.


But my question is...why does the II go much longer than AI with the AI having a higher RG?
