Moving up to 16#
« on: July 18, 2014, 06:28:07 PM »
I've been throwing 15# since I started in January.  Last night I had a guy join us and we started trying out each other's equipment.  After a few throws he asks me how the 16# felt.  I was surprised because I honestly couldn't tell the difference. 

Is there any disadvantage to moving up to 16# for my next ball?

Sometimes, carry may not be as great.  But, moving up to 16 from 15 was the best thing I did.

I believe that if your a straighter player, 16lb is better. If your a cranker then 15lb may be better. Ive moved up to 16 and being a straighter player, my carry increased going up in weight.
