Hey all. I have been throwing 16lbs probably for the last 9 years or so (i'm 23). I don't have a backswing, and i mean like nothing. Just the way I have bowled for as long as I can remember. Anyway, i'm thinking of switching to 15lbs. Not in hopes that I get a bigger backswing, but just for the feeling. I am able to throw some of my friends equipment that is 15lbs, and it just feels like i'm throwing it better and more smooth. Is there a big difference in the way the balls will react when I make the switch that I should be aware of? I know the rg is a tad lower in 15lbs.
Also for my finger inserts. I use Turbo 11/16 in middle finger, and 21/32 in my ring finger. I don't have tiny hands, but I like having a tight fingers. Well atleast I thought I did. Last night I was bowling on Shark in a PBA League and none of my equipment was reacting well, so for kicks I threw my friends pin down full swing up 7. Used it the whole night and shot 645. Its 15lbs, and the fingers are alot bigger, not sure of the actual size. Would the bigger finger grips have a factor in throwing the ball better? Like I said Ive had relatively the same grip size for a while, and ive bowled well, just wondering if there is something that I can change.
I know that was a long post, thanks for reading!
