i mostly threw 16lbs, every now and then a 15lber. i hurt my wrist about 7 months ago. thought i was going to need surgery and put it off as long as i could. i dropped to 14lbs cause i lost stregnth in my arm. we thought it was nerve damage. i was on the verge of going under the knife until a started talking to a sports medicine guy at the gym. he helped me rehab my wrist, forearm, bicep, tricep....pretty much whole arm. i did fairly well with the 14lber. avg 196 & 203 in summer leagues stroking up the 10 board. almost switched to left hand too! took two weeks off to rehab and let the arm rest/heal.
well, now a month later, my wrist is about 95% and my arm feels stronger than before. i like throwing the 14lbers so i havent changed. "CARRY" has not suffered one bit at all. people are amazed at me throwing 14lbs and smashing the hole. they cant believe it. one drawback is its so light that its easy to hit up on it more than i want.
dont be afraid of the 14lbers. they're every bit as good as the 15's & 16's! some people say you cant play deep with it because it wont have enough on the backend. well on my typical house shot i start out 3rd arrow and could easily migrate to 4th or 5th, or switch balls and play same line. and like i said...CARRY DOES NOT SUFFER
hope this info helps you, and good luck with your recovery!
