during a last year telecast, i remember randy saying that someone was using 13 for regionals cuz his wrist was messed up, he was commenting the amount of power the guy had
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

I know when PDW and Tim Mack were recovering from their shoulder problems they were using 10-14# equipment as part of their physical therapy.  I doubt they used them while bowling on tour, though.

The downside to <14# equipment is that not everything is available in the lighter weights.  Sometimes, when the lighter weight equipment is made, it has a different core or very different dynamics.
