I'm just curious. Also, why would the addition of the bismuth nucleus in the core be illegal under today's USBC standards?

Thanks

It's a remake...made in 2005.

The short answer is the impact depends on a lot of different variables. A couple of the variables are how much of the material is in the ball, the shape of the material, and where the material is located.

The long answer would involve physics and quite possibly take several pages. To save everyone's eyes and brains, I'll leave it at the short version. :-)

What impact (if any) does the high density material have on the RG and/or differential?

Aaron Koch wrote on 10/10/2011 5:40 AM:
The bismuth nuggets are considered illegal due to their high density. The following is from the specifications manual:

Material

3. The density of any piece/component in a ball (e.g. core, coverstock, weight block, etc.) shall not exceed 3.80 g/mL (i.e., no pure metals or high density materials).
