Only true if the cover is encountering friction. If used on deeper angles the intermediate dfferential delays and faces up later, therefore combining with the much higher RG differential and creating more flip and continuation. Higher intermidiate diff only means when the cover encounters friction the core will stand up quicker. Where it encounters this friction determines shot shape. Combined with a higher RG Diff this makes the Sync more angular.
I said this already I thought. If used in the track area where there is friction the Sync will read and roll earlier therefore cancelling out some of the flip by scrubbing off core energy. But if used in the soup, all of that energy is stored and the ball becomes very angular at the back of the pattern when it reads the friction.
Both balls are designed for use on heavy oil. This is the problem in todays game is perception. We see guys using oiler balls all the time on the outside part of the lane on house shots and claiming or thinking a VRP is more hook than a Sync. Use the balls on the intended condition and you see what the differences are.
Here is video on the comparisons.....to me it is very evident which ball jumps more in the back. Maybe someone else sees something different....I don't know.

This is a brand new core for Storm called the G2. It stands for the second generation Shape-Lock core found in the Virtual Gravity. Many have loved the Shape-Lock core in the various top-line balls it’s been used in. Early days to say if this one will be loved but the specs are very aggressive. The G2 has an RG of 2.47, differential of 0.058, and mass bias of 0.028 for a 15 pound ball. The flare potential of over 6 inches. Compare that to the original Shape-Lock HD core with an RG of 2.48, diff of .052, and mass bias of .020 for the same weight.
The intent is to create an even more dynamic motion. What that actually looks like will take some testing.
When I read that part about more dynamic motion I read "flip". This is what the Storm reps at the release seminar were saying too. So....to each their own I suppose.
Higher intermediate diff means more Midland and continuation. Less flaring core from shape lock hd means it will save it's energy for later.
