Core shape
« on: February 16, 2018, 08:27:09 AM »
How much does core shape matter? Is it possible for someone to match up better to certain core shapes, like tall and thin, short and squat, or mass high, middle, or low? Do you choose balls with core shapes similar to balls you have matched up with? I ask because I match up to my kinetic emerald better than I ever have anything, and am looking for a weaker ball to compliment it.

So what I get from this is that core shape sometimes matters, unless it doesn't. Core numbers matter, except they don't because drilling changes the numbers. And best of luck finding a good complimentary ball lmao

It all works together. The core shape and density dictate the core numbers. The core shape after it is drilled, along with cover material dictate total motion and hook potential, based on rev rate and release.

I have been paying attention to the library of balls that I own. I have found that the solid, fat and fairly symmetrical cores match up to me best. And the numbers are usually in the RG range of 2.48, with differentials from .033 to .050.

The ideal balls that I gravitate towards and use successfully have an RG of 2.48 and diff at .048, regardless of coverstock!

These pills I can operate with regardless of conditions mostly!
