Question
I have been looking at the Flash Flood, what are your thoughts on the Goliath or Nemesis?

Question -
In reference to RG Differential, does a lower or higher RG Differential allow for more flare in a ball?  I know that there is more involved, but we are trying to narrow down some information for a ball for my father.  


He rolls a full roller and right now uses a V2 Particle.  He likes this ball alot, but is looking for something either comparable or more aggressive in oil.
Answer -
Higher differential will increase the flare potential.

Higher flare will cause the ball to want to roll sooner too.

If you are looking for a heavy oil ball, check out the Flash FLood from Storm.

Good luck,
Chip

Answer
I will have to look into the two balls that you mentioned.  I have not drilled any yet.  I have drilled a couple of the Flash Flood balls and they have performed well.  They can be polished if need be.  I will look into the other balls tomorrow.
