dude, first of all, if your using a 12 or 13 pound ball, it doesnt have the same core as the heavier weights do.

most balls only use good cores in 14-16 pound equipment, and 3 or 4 piece cores in the lighter weights, so you really arent getting the full effect, if any effect at all.

5'4 really isnt short, but its not like yao ming either. you should be throwing atleast 14 pounds. once you move up weight the ball will most likely start revving up a lot better because of the core being better, especially in high end balls.

i'm guessing you could probably handle 15 pounds, but definately 14. at 18, 5'4 and whatever you weigh, you should have no problem throwing heavier equipment once you get used to the weight. right now, your throwing light weight balls, with cores that arent even close to what most manufactureres use in 14-16 pound equipment, so the ball really isnt going to rev up at all, but if you move up in weight you'll most likely notice a big difference in revs and speed.

on that note, its 1:30 AM here, i can barely see my screen so i dont really know how many words i may have spelled wrong, and i'm tired, i'll try to edit this in the morning to give you a better idea of what i'm talking about.
