Maybe the more important switch is that Walter Ray switched back to 16 lb equipment after the Fountain Valley tournament. Since then he's been on TV a ton! And with a straighter shot like he prefers, the 16 lb equipment should have better carrying power.
According to the telecast, he switched because he was leaving "too many 8-10" splits. And they were right - he was pinging quite a few of those in Fountain Valley. He just bowled well enough otherwise to still do OK.

Do you really think that the 16lb ball will hit better than the 15lb?  I find the oppostie to be true.  I seem to get better strike percentage with 15lb equipment.

WRW 8-10 problems were probobaly more of a result of to much surface and him trying to over throw to compensate for his very early roll/lower rev rate.  He has been excelling lately with more med-transition and flip drillings eventho he plays teh shots straighter

Until yesterday, it seemed that he was not using the MoRich balls correctly. Like most pros, he can match up to anything; the ball is much more important than the brand for most of them. Seeing as how the PBA are using mostly Brunswick oils, Brunswick coverstock seem to match up well with Brunswick oils.

Saw are you kidding? The line Williams played is alot less forgiving than the line Pete(Pout Pout) Weber was playing. If he missed at all to the right the ball is gone right past the pocket and if he missed left he would have gone right through the nose. This is why he's the most accurate bowler ever to roll a ball down the lane and that's why he won because he was the only bowler able to play the lanes that way.

I guess it all depends on the bowlers style and the lane patterns.  I have increased my strike percentage by dropping from 16 lbs to 15lb equipment.

I also don't see as many 9 pins as I did with 16lb equipment.
