<<chuckle>> Her exact response was, "It's your money, you do with it what you want." But I still feel better for asking her opinion.
Her exact opinion is that if I win her a trip to Vegas in my upcoming tourney then she REALLY doesn't mind. <<grin>>
And, thanks for the advice about the ball. I was having knee problems and bought a ball recommended to me for working with my throwing it with my arm only. I also got a 14lb one since it was to be thrown this way. It was a huge mistake. Not only does the ball hook so much it's uncontrollable but it's so light it doesn't carry. I resolved to ask more opinions this time before wasting my money.
