Mike Wolfe and a 13lb ball?
« on: November 11, 2007, 12:59:08 PM »
Did anyone here Mike Wolfe say his ball was 13lbs?  At the end of the tourney when he was waiting for his ball(waiting to make his final shot in the 10th frame) he tells one of the officals that "he needs his ball".  Then you don't hear what the guy tells him but it's obvious he says something to Wolfe.  Wolfe responds by saying his ball is 13lbs.

I thought that was strange but does this guy use a 13lb strike ball?

It won him the title. I'd throw a 13 pound ball to if its crushing the hole

I wouldn't figure him for 13....14 at the least.

I know some guys who drop to a 14 to generate more revs and higher ball speed... but 13? I mean hes a built guy, you would think he could handle 14+

The ball was the Raid i clearly saw the logo a few times when he setting up.

Maybe a rotator injury forced him down in weight, Tim Mack won 100k tournament last year also using a 13 lb er.

This might sound weird, but a guy locally was told that taking time off of bowling this summer to heal may have caused his hand to be in worse shape than it was in the spring.  

He's now using 14lb. equipment and wishing he would have kept bowling...

I just watched it again, "I gotta get my ball back...it's only 13 lbs" sounds kinda like he was joking.

Whew! Thanks Mike. I think everyone here on BR's.com was going to head out and buy 13#'s after hearing that. You saved us all alot of money.

Nice job on the win!
