Difference in revs
« on: June 30, 2003, 09:03:11 PM »
Lately i've noticed that when i switch from a strike ball, reactive, to plastic that my rev rate drops immensly. Is there a reason for this? It just doesn't seem that i have the same amount of hand in the ball. Any suggestions?

To elaborate on what Saw King said, it's likely that your plastic ball is a 3 piece with a high rg.  It will lope down the lane instead of revving like your lower rg, 2 piece strike balls.

Also, it is skidding in the oil further than your other balls before it starts to rev, because it is plastic.
