Title: Core specs of 14 lb. Buzz (Sting, Hornet, Buzz Prem. Ed., Sting Widow Maker)?
Post by: charlest on May 07, 2014, 08:13:22 PM
I know the 15 lb. balls have RG of 2.549 and RG Diff or .031.
Does anyone know or remember or know where I can find the RG and Diff. for the 14 lb. version of this core?
(The Buzz Attack used a different core.)

Thanks.

14 lb core is Rg 2.634 with a diff of 0.015. Cover stock material stayed the same weight, density on a 2 piece, so they simply made the core a lb. lighter. And yes, that made the 16lbers that much different as well.

WOW! that's a huge difference.
Thank you (I think).

And that would be?

I would be interested in the new BUZZPE when is it released but in 16lbs.

It would be informational if LM would post in SPECS per each weight as some of the other manufactures do.

FYI I was talking about the originals from the old Lane Masters, not the new ones. The core in the new, soon-to-come Buzz Premium is a different shape.

An earlier thread showed the new Buzz Premium to have what appeared to be the same core shape and specs to the old LM BUZZ and BUZZPE.http://www.ballreviews.com/lane-masters/new-lane-masters-t298878.0.html (http://www.ballreviews.com/lane-masters/new-lane-masters-t298878.0.html)

So one would assume the new Buzz Premium would be very similar to the old BPE or BUZZ based on the earlier posted flyer when it came to the core shape and specifications.

The numbers are the same but the shape is very different.

So far, for me, the shells of the new LM are not similar to the old ones, but I have not tried all the new ones. I would not assume that similar core specs would make the entire new ball the same as the old one. That said, I am also looking forward to trying the new Buzz Premium.

Sorry, I don't have the numbers on the 16lbers for that ball. The 16lbers were not normally tested for Rg when the balls were made. USBC testing only required 14 and 15 lbers, so that is where the official numbers came from.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that Tony Martin said he would be getting some new staff into his offices in June to help with doing such things as, RG and Differential for all LM and Lord Field balls and put that info on the webs sites.
