explanation please

the rg, and the differential. What does it mean to have low rg, high rg, low diferential, or high diferential. And if you combine two of them, what is the out come? I never quite understood it.

Low RG means the ball will get into a roll sooner than high RG.  Differential is how much the ball flares, basically how hard it will flip.  A high differential ball will make a harder move than a low differential ball.

Hope that helps a little.

so if i have a high rg and high deferential, the ball will go long and have a hard snap? giving that the weight block of the ball has a flip block in it?

Yes, not taking the cover of the ball into play, a high rg/high diff ball will want to go long and snap hard.  A low rg, low diff ball will want to arc more than flip.

Well there is no real standard, but to me, low rg is under 2.52, medium is 2.52 to 2.57 and high is above.  For diff, i consider under .035 low, medium from .035 to .045 and high, from .045 to .06 (the max).
