This is to expand on what IceM's reports were, based on his discussion with his physics friends.
As was stated, the diamond core conserves more energy. But, the core has to be spinning tightly. This comes from the pin axis drilling.
Because the energy is stored/conserved, i.e. spent later, the ball goes longer before you will see movement on the lane. This is opposite of what most manufacturers tell us.
As in IceM's "person spinning in chair" example, when the person's legs were extended, the energy would bleed off sooner. This will create an earlier movement on the lane.
Therefore, placing the pin at 3 3/8" from your PAP, will essentially be extending the legs as far as possible, creating more/the most wobble.
So, to create earlier movement on the lane, you will move the pin away from your PAP. As you move the pin away from your PAP, you'll turn a hockey stick reaction into more of a banana type hook pattern.
As you go past 3 3/8" from your PAP, and closer to 6 3/4", the hockey stick reaction will be reversed, where the hook will be in the front, rolling out and going straight on the backend.
Of course, oil retards the reaction of the ball, so the actuall movement you see on the lanes, will be determined on how/where the oil is placed.
When cores expand energy soon, it burns up quicker. When a core bleeds off energy slower, it holds it's maximum energy level longer..!! Because the ball holds a higher level of energy longer, the window of opportunity to strike is greater.
Thus difference between the diamond core and the rest of the cores, i.e. Morfius core, is the window of opportunity to strike is greater with the diamond core. Lane #1 users know this, by the amount of off pocket strikes they get.
Now that you know the characteristics/physics of the diamond core and how it works, the key now is to match the drill pattern/core angle to the lane pattern and your release/style, in order to maximise your carry percentage even more..!!
When matched up correctly, nothing strikes more or longer than a Buzzsaw..!! =:^D
