Retro Roto Blue vs. X-Factor
« on: March 16, 2005, 09:52:26 PM »

RRB
RG: 2.576
Diff: 0.052

X-Factor
RG: 2.53
Diff: 0.058

This is what I was witnessing last night and I'd like to verify my thinking...Was practicing last night and the lanes were pretty dry.  I don't have my Sonic X redrilled yet, so all I had to use was my RRB, X-Factor and plastic.  RRB is drilled pin over bridge, CG kicked out about an inch (2" pin).  The X-Factor is drilled pin above, right of ring, CG out a little, RAD about 1.5-2" right of thumb.  Both are in post plug condition -- I haven't sanded/polished after having them plugged/redrilled.  Moving way inside, I noticed the RRB revving a ton more and earlier than the X-Factor and couldn't keep it on the right side of the headpin.  Big arc as it read the lane much sooner.  X-Factor definitely went longer, then didn't make as big a move on the back.  Could actually play with this ball starting at 33 to 18 at the arrows.  Would this be what I'd expect given the specs and drillings?

also...the RRB is a 400 grit wet sand, then polished....that could be it too, and the x-factor being 1500 polished....may have made the difference....
