I want to play!
If you have two identical balls with one exception, one has the lowest rg allowed and one has the highest rg allowed. Both balls are drilled with the same layout and the pin is 3 3/8 from the PAP. Both balls have enough differential to flare at least 4 inches.

If a bowler throws the high rg ball with 350 revs off his hand and then throws the low rg ball the exact same way, will his rev rate increase to even 351 revs with the low rg ball?

I was bored and decided to test this out. I used 2.5 and 2.71 rg balls.
I have a pretty high rev rate so it was easy to pick up the revolutions using only the first 15 feet on the lane. I alternated balls every shot playing the same angle and feel through the front. With the lower rg ball, 4 of the 5 balls came in at 4.5 revolutions in the first 15 feet with 1 ball at 4.75. The higher rg ball came in at 4 revolutions every time. Based off of my speed the average RPMs for each ball would be : Low RG ball - 471 High RG ball - 428.
