rg, flare, and spin time
« on: July 15, 2006, 07:22:40 AM »
In general, does a lower rg mean less flare and lower spin time?

Adversely, higher rgs flare more and lengthen spin time?

Lower rg does not mean higher flare. Rg does not affect flare (rg differential does show flare potential).

neither does it affect spin time (I think). Someone else can confirm this, as I am by no means an expert or proponent of assymetric cores.

Stanski, I think you read the post wrong.  I said, lower rg=less flare?  I was thinking that the earlier a ball gets into its roll the less flare and possibly less spin time....

My understanding is that flare continues until the ball rolls out.
