dynamic cores in 11-13 lbs balls
« on: April 10, 2007, 04:14:05 PM »
any of you ball drillers and proshops know off the top of your head what balls have dynamic cores in lighter balls. The reason I'm asking is that my JR bowlers are ready to go up in weight and looking for more advanced bowling balls besides the scout and or the powergroove.                  
             THANKS

I think Brunswick puts "real" cores in the 12 lbs.+ balls, and also into some overseas 11 lbs. balls, too. You might check their website, in the pro shop section is a complete RG numbers and core shape overview.

Any other manufacturer only has them in 14 lbs.+ balls, as far as I know?

Thanks dizzy I went to their site and it looks like thats what I'll end up getting for them. It's just that one JR. really likes storm.but first I'll try a little more research. Again thanks for the input.

You really have to go ball by ball and company by company.  Most of Brunswick's balls have dynamic cores (though not always the same cores) in lighter weight balls.  See this file on the Brunswick site.

Storm uses a lightbulb core (I think) in their lighter weight balls, even the high end ones, if available.  I'm not sure about Rotogrip or Ebonite (I think they use the lightbulb core, too), if you see a large change in the core numbers, that probably means some kind of switch.  Pancake cores are typically in the 2.66+ RG range with 0.010 or so diff.  Numbers like 0.035 and 2.6 are not usually pancake cores.
