How many of you throw 14 pound balls?
« on: July 10, 2005, 12:52:52 PM »
Hi. I'm 15 years old and went up the 15 pound balls not to long ago and the weight really started to affect my game(speed and release). I decided that I would go back to 14lb and stay with it for a while till I master a couple of different release. I would like to know how many of you throw 14 pound balls? Does 1 pound really make a big difference in pin action?

Thanks

Daniel

Well according to physics there is a difference, but with the strong cores and strong reactions of balls today, I don't think it'd make a big difference.

That is exactly right......

I'm getting more revs, more speed and I have also noticed my accuracy has gone up some when I throw my 14 pound equipment.

Well then there you go.  Accuracy is more important than whatever advantage the extra weight would give you.
