widow limited and others
« on: November 02, 2015, 03:29:10 PM »
I noticed that widows all have a gas mask core or described as the original core in some of the newer widows. The old ones rg 2.50 diff 0.60 the new ones rg 2.50 diff .058 what causes this diff difference. clearly something is different in the new gas mask core

The new differential rule is that a ball can't have more than .060" as maximum. Hammer/Ebonite probably adjusted the widow's core's basic design slightly to insure that some accident would not have the ball rejected by the USBC when it's submitted for approval

It could also be that the carbon fiber added to the outer wrap may cause a small shift in RG/Diff values as well.
