Title: Question on Older LM 16 LB #s
Post by: tloy on February 24, 2020, 01:52:51 PM

I was curious if anyone had the RG and Diff #s on some older LM/Legends equipment for 16lb. I know these varied a lot from 15 to 16.

I have the following:

Original Yeah Baby, Big Bang and NS2.

Thank you

Brad,

Thank you. I have these #s off the 123Bowl website. I have been told these are for 15. I have also heard 16 and 15 are drastically different. :)

With a two piece ball they would have to change the core shape or pull material from the core to change the weight of the ball from 16lb to 15lb. The diff numbers would change. 16lb would have a higher Diff and a lower RG than a 15lb.

Example:
Hy-Road
16lb                15lb
RG- 2.54          RG- 2.57
Diff- 0.058       Diff- 0.046
