Help with an 11lb ball.
« on: January 24, 2020, 09:32:28 PM »
My wife is going to drop to an 11lb. ball due to a shoulder problem.  In researching possibilities, I see that the Beast and the Messenger (in the 11lb. weight) have the same weight block, rg and diff.  Could I assume that they would have the same reactions on the lanes or would their different cover stocks make any significant difference.  I also saw that the Hammer Vibe (in the 11lb. has the  same rg and diff. as these two balls but again a different coverstock.   

I guess my question is would she really see any difference in any of these three balls since they all have the same specs.?  They also have the same surface finish.

Any help would be appreciated as I'd like to order one of these while I can  still get one that was made in Ky.

Once you get below 14lb (for the most part)
you lose core strength as it relates to core performance, meaning you dont have as big of an engine in the 11lb compared to 14 lb or higher.
but the covers are the same.

any of those will be a great choice
And 100% agree to get the Hopkinsville equipment while you can
Ive done the same, stocked up a few more Web Tour
