Guys,
Realize when looking at the weight blocks (and I have touched on this subject before) we are talking shapes. These shapes you see all vary here and there, some are close in looks and some are very different. What matters when it comes to the weight block is the core dynamics we create with these different shapes and densities. Roto Grip uses in most weight blocks, depending on the line, various object. We first have a core itself, then we use a large heavy ball and flip blocks to create our dynamics. If I look at the Cyclotron core and we look at the Rotary core the size and pieces used look similar. But what you don't see by looking at the pictures is that Cyclotron core is asymmetrical which gives the ball a stronger mid lane read. The RG is lower and the Differential is higher. I.E. a high performance bowling ball. The Rotary core is symmetrical which allows it to be more stable and get down the lane further before standing up. The RG is higher and the differential is lower. I.E. a mid performance bowling ball. The Sonic cores are larger with only flip blocks to create the dynamics with no use of a heavy ball in the center for a lower rg. This is why we have even a higher RG ball (more mass further away from the center) to create more length then the others along with a lower differential for less flare. I.E. a entry level performance ball. The Hemi core is also a high performance core which is truly symmetrical (even with the flip block on the side). What you don't see in the pictures is what I know because of the dynamics. The Flip block on the side is almost exactly the same density as the outer core that surounds the weight block. This ball being a lower RG and medium differential allows it to handle more oil with a smooth backend for medium-heavier patterns. I have read the posts and see you guys argueing like a bunch of old ladies
Look to see if it is asymmetrical or symmetrical
Look to see if which cover we are using reative, particle, pearl or solid
Look to see the RG and Differential numbers
Shiny or Dull
Length and Backend Charts
We try to provide the most amount of technical data as possible with our advertising material so you guys can read up on the balls and know the differences. From there if you have any further questions or need to clarify anything you are more than welcome to call me at the office and I can answer any questions you have about the differences in cores and covers. I have trouble getting on here as much now with the growth of the company and I do keep Jeff posted on what is going on so he can answer the majority of the questions for me and make sure everyone is getting their questions answered correctly.
Thanks for your support and the ball will be available at pro shops on March 19th, 2004. Local Star Pro Shops can get a few sooner, but most of the pro shops will all be able to purchase these on March 19th from their distributor.
Thanks!
