    I have the Absolute Power and the Terminator. The Absolute Power was a high RG pearl which could really turn the corner, the cover on it is very adjustable. The Terminator is a very heavy rolling ball. It was a particle pearl. Love both of those balls.

    This will definitely make some people think about the balls in their arsenal. No wonder I can't make this ball work for me. DOH! Something to think about when buying a new ball.

    Thanks for that clear write up.

    A question reminds... ar RG and differential numbers comparable through different companies? So that I can compare 2 balls of 2 different companies?

    They should be. I don't think that there are different methods for calculating the RG.

    How the numbers for the RG and Diff are determined are governed by the USBC and is standard across manufacturers.
