i worry it might be too close to the chainsaw w/ those #'s, but the pancake flip block might help

Isn't the Diff quite a bit larger than the C-Saw?  Probably thanks to that pancake block...

That's correct.  Primarily why it's a Medium oil ball and not light oil.  And don't worry dawg.  The core is cut in half.  Reason why the pancake block is there.  It'll be a completely different piece.

How does a pancake block increase Diff?  Please enlighten me.


I don't have a clue, completely guessing!  It wasn't meant to be a statement.

+1 there BITG.  It's there for a reason.  Probably to compensate for the half cut, end cut, diamond core.

Wow so you guys don't seem to think that making a core skinnier will actually create a high diff?  That it must be caused by the pancake block?

I guess I thought it was the same core as the C-saw with an added pancake.  But I see now that it's the same end cut diamond yet cut in half, making it skinnier?  Not much diamond left after all of that cutting, lol

also weight moved to the outer regions increases differential as well

wonder if it has a marked mass bias

pricing looks good, nice numbers for a mid priced ball, and if you go by their claims on the coverstock, it is a pearl version of the hybrid cover on the new dynamo x2
