The One RG & Diff
« on: December 02, 2005, 06:11:14 AM »
Why is there such a drastic difference between a 16lb The One Rg 2.51 Diff .037 and a 15lb The One Rg 2.46 Diff .056?  Seems like two different balls, with the 15lb hooking earlier and with more flip.

There are two sides to this discussion.   Some are claiming that it makes a difference, while other are arguing that the differential differences don't make much of a difference in a ball that has this significant of a MB differential.

I say it's not going to make a vast difference due to the powerful MB.

That's really weird.  Are they drilled the same?  Similar styles for the two bowlers?  Has anyone considered that it's a misprint on the Ebonite website?  If the 16# diff were really 0.057 instead of 0.037, then the numbers would be reasonable.  As printed, it would seem that there are two different cores at work.

Thanks.  I guess it's not a misprint.  Another user mentioned that while the core shapes are the same, the internal compositions are not.  Interesting.
