I struggle with alternating to the next strike ball.

I used to use a 14lb pool ball spare ball.  It looked cool going down the lane.  But it messed me up on my next strike ball.  Now I don't have different weights on any of my balls.

I do two handed for both so my rev rate makes it harder.

Sometimes I stick with one weight, but then change to another, then I struggle to get the strike, but not always, only sometimes.  It just depends.

Everything I have is 15 lbs except my spare ball, which is 14.  The reason?  I'm only throwing it at one or two pins at a time and I like that it deflects better when I leave the 3 - 10 split.
