View Full Version : Bowler ID - Ball Weight Question

My local PSO has started offering Bowler ID sessions at a really good price point.
The only problem is that the special Bowler ID ball they use weighs 15 lbs and I throw a 14lb ball.

My question is what stats (if any) would still be relevant despite the weight difference?
Would the PAP be the same?

Would it be a waste of time if I was looking to find the optimum performance drilling specs?

They claim they are trying to get a 14lb ball from the manufacturer but are having problems...blah blah.
Does anybody have 1st hand knowledge of the availability of a 14lb Bowler ID ball?

Thanks.

I would assume PAP would still be the same, Revs and speed would be a bit lower. Axis tilt and rotation should be the same.

So Revs and Speed will be lower,
PAP, Tilt, and Rotation will be the same.

Got it, thanks.

We have a EBI demo day nearby and they ain’t bringing the bowler ID. Kind of sucks because I have a suspicion as I’ve gotten better all my specs have changed and I need to different layouts
