It doesn't seem to list RGs or Diffs on the Columbia Site.

SKC, my father in-law had one of these balls sitting in his garage as it was to heavy for him, 16 lb. The ball had some pretty good wear on it but I decided to get it re-plugged and drilled for myself as at that point I didn't have a ball for heavier oil where we were bowling. I had my pro shop driller resurface the ball as well and the first night I used it I shot 748 with it. This ball is tremendous on heavier oil patterns as I couldn't believe the hit and carry this thing gave me. Any time I bowl in tourneys or at a house with heavy oil or medium-heavy oil I use my Quake. One of the great all time balls from Columbia.

Sorry only one 14 lbs.. An Icon.. Rest are 15 and 16 lbs..

JVan19.. I hear U bro! The Purple Quake and also the Gold Quake were both a couple of balls i always wanted when i was a youth.. I had a couple of the blue Omegas at that time.. A friend of mine pretty much everything he entered as a youth, after he got his PQ.. I later got the Super Cuda/C from an uncle in the States.. Man i loved that ball..

I haven't seen the PQ yet, i'm gonna talk to him this weekend, so if it has a decent Pin Out and TW, i'll be getting it..

I am lucky I have a nice undrilled 15lb purple quake sitting the closet waiting for the right time. It is right next to my NIB Complete Chaos and Gold Rhino Pro
