Politely... High rev guys and theoretical experts can bypass this one please. I'm interested in practical responses from other low rev players, certainly below 300 and preferably below 250....

I understand the potential of differential, but all too often people talk about theoretical results without looking at the practical impact based on style. For example, last year I mapped out every ball I've used for the last 15 years, and found a consistently favorable result when the differential was above .050, and higher ratings as expected as the potential increased. I use very similar drills, so disregard all the theories of changing differential. From a practical result viewpoint, higher differentials result in a better result for me. For other styles, that is not always the case.

For other low rev players, do you find yourself over a period of time consistently preferring equipment with a higher diff potential? Have you found that balls which others say are great are weak for you and your game?
Thanks in advance

I'm not necessarily a low rev player but I'm definitely not a high rev guy. However i was actually looking at something similar recently.

For me, the balls I've had the most success with have had differentials in the .03-.048 range with a few exceptions. The other thing I noticed was my favorite balls that I've really liked a lot have all had a fairly similar core shape.

It's been said that core shape is what determines ball motion. I feel like I can agree on that statement with my personal experiences.

Core shape may determine ball motion, but wouldn't it ultimately come down to core numbers? Like you could have a light bulb core and a core shaped like a koala, but with the same numbers, they should roll the same. But them with very similar core numbers and same cover, the timeless has a different motion from the hyroad

Good conversation, but I'd hate to see the topic hijacked. Let me move this back to differential rather than core shape please... :)

You can't simply phrase a question so to get only your answer...everything is theoretical
You stated thru YOUR stats that you have faired well with higher diff cores...what other response are you looking for?
Bowling is NOT pure or absolute too many can't seem to understand that
It's phrased potential for a reason and strangely enough surface is still 70-75% of reaction

Idiots... I thought I missed you Rico, I was wrong. Sorry you can't understand it, but that doesn't mean it isn't logical. After doing computers for 40 years, I may express things in terms you can't grasp though. There is that "potential"... :)

Liberal... You gotta be... I thought you promised to put me on your ignore list Lib? No more silent bowing to liberals who can't fathom logic or other schools of thought that disagree with your own. Read your own posts.. See the intolerance. Your days are over Lib......
