I have a 15# brunswick equipment setup for length. Have a med speed, high-rev release. Do fine on house condition. But on tougher tournament conditions, have problems keeping speed up consistently. Would a 14# ball be my answer? Do anybody use 14# equipment & have high avg. & success in tournaments? Any comments suggestions??

i use to have this problem I was a higher rev playier with some speed but got in trouble on sport shots because I could not keep things to the pocket in the later games. I don't think you need to change weight I think you just need to learn some hand positions that will not have as much turn on the ball. Right now I can go into a bowling center and but 500 rpms on the ball but I can also put 150 rpms on the ball. Later on you might set up some of your bowling balls to be smooth at the break point.
i am usaly at 320 rpms

my teammate throws everything 14# except his addiction(15#)....he carries 230+ at multiple houses....MAKES money at tourneys...bowls with tish johnson once in a while in double tourneys...throws v2 dry, fire, aggression, addiction, vicious part.(rarely), v2 sweet, v2 clean, savage flip, illusion, and a zebra IV(plastic, if the night is just f....d up.)

....he is a southpaw though and he throws 14 because his left shoulder will likely blow out in a couple of years(too many cortizon(sp) shots = weak bone where it is injected)

the ball coverstocks are strong enough to carry with 14 pounds now.....some balls dont carry the same cores at lighter weights though

Locally we have a person who is known by many nationally for his drilling prowess....Bruce Heim from the National Bowling Outlet (Big B booth at the nationals). Bruce throws 14#'s exclusively due to a bad wrist, and has been a top money winner in our area for years, against some TOP bowlers.

Here is the most recent story on him:

24 is not my age, IQ, or bowling average, but my firematic number, at least I think that what it is
