**Legend opinion**
« on: May 09, 2006, 09:30:04 AM »
I'm still deciding on how heavy i want my nextlegend ball to be... with 15 i can throw it further.. but 16 better impact on the pins.. ssoo my question is should I

A.-- Buy a 16lbs and put a weight hole on it

or

B.-- Get a 15lb w/o a weight hole


I'm leaning towards the 16lb because it's heaver and i believe it won't leave anyone up to stand and fight.. I'm also wondering if the legend ball are heavier than average balls

you could also look for a heavy 15, sometimes you can find them there are over 15.5lbs but under 16 and would probably be your best option

Current Average 183


Current Balls: Storm Hot Rod Hybrid 15lb

DO you mean if they come 15 lb 4-6 oz, instead of 15 lbs 0-3 oz?

There are a dozen threads discussing the differences between 15# and 16# balls.  Might be a good idea to find some of them.

As for feeling lighter or heavier, it's moot.  15# is 15#.  Two balls that say 15# 3oz will weigh the same.  Doesn't matter what core, cover, or filler is used.  But an ill-fitting 15# might feel as heavy in the hand as a 16#.

agreed.

15 lbs = 15 lbs; 16 lbs = 16 lbs.
