Title: Blue Wolf Mass Bias Strength?
Post by: charlest on October 14, 2008, 02:18:10 AM
Anyone know or have any idea how strong the Mass Bias was onthis ball from the late 90s was? It had what was called the airplane or helicopter core.

You can almost see the core on the Clear Wolf spare ball:

The Grey Wolf had the same core. The Red Wolves and the Werewolves had different shapes.

Thanks in advance.

I just recently spun up a 14# Grey Wolf on a DeTerminator to verify the location of the PSA.  It was where it was supposed to be, but I didn't think to make note of the spin time.

Not that the spin times would be the same for the various weights...

Not to hijack the thread, but why doesn't the TimberWolf Series ever get any props? I always thought that my TimberWolf Pearl was the best ball I was throwing at the time (well, besides my Columbia300 Cuda/C Solid). The TimberWolf Pearl was VERY strong. I could never get my hands on a Solid Tour TimberWolf at the time, though I tried VERY hard to...

OK...done venting!

The Mass Bias is (relatively) only .010", just over the Mo borderline, .008", for true significance during drilling and throwing. But together with the low RG (2.509" for 16 lbs ball) and high RG Diff (.055), the Blue was a strong oiler back then and the Grey Wolf (I have aone also) was a strong medium-oil back then.
