Ball weight

[jman69]

I am getting a new ball and I have always used a 16 pound ball but thought about going with a 15 pound ball this time. Just trying to get an idea from you all what weight ball you use.

I use 15lb because I seem to get better control and can slow/speed up the ball better. Plus I don't seem to get as tired.

15lbs. You can go all the way down to 14lbs, if desired. Most 14 lbs have the same core as 15 and 16 lbs balls.

I'd drop to 15lbs now and 14 later in life.

I use 15 b/c it is easier on the body and I get less wrist fatigue.

I use 16, but I can control it and don't get tired at all.. If you desire a 15 lb., I say try it..

I used to be all about the 16lb balls... "manlier", "stronger", etc... WHATEVER!!!

I finally got smart and dropped back to a 15lb ball. I've been nothign but pleased with the results. I can bowl longer with less fatigue, I get less wrist fatigue, I am able to speed the ball up (and even slow it down) better, and it just feels better believe it or not.

Don't feel like you have to use a 16lb ball just because Jones does... nobody cares about Jones. He can die in a fire

Dang that was kinda harsh, eh, Josh?? Lol.. I am just comfortable throwing a 16 lb. I can speed it up and slow it down and not get fatigued.. But, I do see ur point a 15 lb. can be better in some aspects, what is one pound gonna do, right??

i use a 14lb... i tried 15lb and it was really tiring... if u want to use a 15lb well then do it.. if it doesnt work change back to 16lb.... but either way i wish you the best of luck!!

I would just throw with what your comfortable with

Thanks for all of your input. I dont get tired at all and have good enough control of my 16 pound ball. I just heard 15 was easier to control and from all of the responses I believe I will just stick with what I already use.

Thanks,
Jason
