Original Oracle
« on: June 30, 2005, 05:55:36 PM »
I ordered an Original Oracle. It doesnt have the Mass Bias marked. Isnt it supposed to be marked since its assymetrical?

Several of RG's balls have an asymmetric core and are not marked. Mostly it's because theasymmetry is slight and the mass bias strength is low. I believe the cutoff point is approximately .008 mass bias differential. Below that the mass bias is not strong enough to make a difference - thus sayeth Mo Pinel (and several others).

Neither of MoRich's first 2 balls, the Labyrinth and the Minotaur had a strong enough bias for even Mo to list it on their webpages. Their first ball with significant Mass Bias was the Colossus at .009.
