Ra values
« on: September 01, 2015, 08:38:22 PM »
I'm trying to find some place that has the ra values for any ball, but haven't had any luck.   Does anyone have any idea where I can find them ?

Likely would have to contact the manufactures for that information.

Ra values change as a ball is continually rolled down the lane, and the cover changes, and or you personally make a surface change to the ball.

However, Bowlers Journal lists Ra values of the factory surface in their ball review section. I believe they use the JayHawk surface scanning machine to get the Ra value and effective surface grit.
