Title: Help me choose a ball for my mom!
Post by: boondoggle on August 03, 2005, 05:20:07 AM

My moms is getting older and is also developing carpal tunnel like problems with her wrist/hand.  It's painful watching her try to swing her 14lbs bowling ball anymore so I'm gonna pick her up a 12lbs ball but I'm not sure which one.

In the case of Track, they use core 2 in everything under 14lbs, correct?  I think I've read that somewhere, or was that Columbia?  So coverstock will be the major differentiator?  Are Track bowling balls even available at 12lbs?

She wants something that will "hook" but she doesn't really know much about bowling balls.  Right now she's averaging 180 with her 15 year old Wine Rhino.  She throws around 14 or 15 mph, not sure about exact revs but she has a good rev/speed balance, not too much speed for her revs, not too many revs for her speed, low 3/4 tracker, 45 degree rotation.

I'm thinking of a strong reactive that will be versatile, cover medium-light to medium-heavy.  Maybe a label leverage drill Rule, Xception, Slash, or Heat.  She plans on carrying only two bowling balls.
