Question
Can you tell me what the differential numbers translate into when deciding on a new ball.
I higher differential number equates to more flare potential. More flare potential will produce an earlier breakpoint and possibly more overall hook potential.
The higher your ball speed, or the heavier the oil pattern, the more differential you can use.
Slower ball speeds or lower oil patterns will require less differential.
Good luck,
Chip
