RG's & RG Differentials
« on: August 27, 2006, 09:00:32 AM »
There was a post in the Track Forum about wanting Track to post the High RG's and Low RG's and the RG Differential for their 14-15-16 lb. balls. I noticed this same information was missing on Legends Balls when I bought my first two balls and wished at the time they would have had it listed on their web site for each ball, but they didn't. They only list one High RG and Low RG and RG differential for all three weights on each ball, so a person doesn't really know if that is for a 16# or 15# or 14# ball or if it is an average. I wonder why they don't list this information as it is a big help to someone like myself when choosing the correct ball.

Robb, since you have a close working relationship with Galen, maybe you could find out for myself and others wanting to know???

That was me, of course, posting in the Track forum.

The RG and differential values should NOT help you pick a ball, but it should help you know more about the ball's reaction, and help the driller drill the ball.  

Remember that ball designers, if they are doing their job well, pick the RG and differential for different weights to insure that the ball's reactions do not vary greatly, as the ball goes from 14 to 15 to 16 lbs.

Yeah, I know. As I have always said, I am not always good with words to describe what I am trying to say.

I agree, but I like you in the Track Forum, I would like to know what they are.
Some companies such as Brunswick, Ebonite, Storm, and I am sure there are others, post these numbers. As you said, it would help me know about the balls reaction and the driller in drilling the ball of which I agree.
