With regards to the above I have found that most balls I like have and RG around 2.50 and a diff approximately 0.50. I am a low rev player with a good amount of ball speed. I understand the definition of RG and diff but the question is this: If I have a ball with RG at 2.544 but a lower diff (0.37 in this case) does that automatically mean it will flare less? Are their other factors that affect flare other than the above numbers (i.e. different shaped cores or coverstocks)? Are those numbers just based solely on coverstock and core shape? You can have a particle ball and a pearl reactive with same numbers and get a different reaction I would think. Is this where drilling layout comes in play? Hope this isn't too convoluted a question.

The low diff means that the ball will be tamer on the backend. If you have a high RG and a high diff, the ball will go long with a sharper backend movement. But if you have a high rg with a low diff. the ball will go long with a smoother backend.
It will help with those 10 pins!!!

More flare = earlier hook. =:^D

All the factors you mentioned affect the amount of flare, including surface and core shape.
Layout will also dramatically affect the amount of flare, with pin postioned at 3 3/8" from your axis flaring the most, on a symmetric core, further away will flare less with more length, closer will flare less with less length.
An asymmetric core will retain more flare than a symmetric core when moved further away from 3 3/8" away.
Extra holes and their placement can also somewhat increase or decrease flare.
Hope this helps

thanks cobalt that is the question i wanted answered.
