I have thrown 15# balls since the mid 1980's. Early this year due partly to some health problems, I decided to drop to 14# balls and initially loved them. As I became used to them, I found myself trying to muscle them more and more everytime I went bowling and things began to get bad. Six weeks or so ago, I dug one of my old 15# balls out of the closet and took it with me to the lanes.
I tried it and couldn't get over how much easier it was to swing the ball and easier to release with better leverage with less effort and so forth, so I have decided to return to 15# balls of which I will be doing shortly as soon as I get my grip stabilized. I am currently going thru some changes and using my 14# balls to plug and redrill and test for this since I will not longer be using them.
