    Someone who is losing a hell of a lot of carry if you can throw heavier. If weight is a concern with your physical game then i would say you are a bowler.

    Actually my average came up considerably after I started using 14 Lb. weight.

    I believe you and that can be the case in certain circumstances. 52 created a new thread for this topic.

    To get back on track, i would recommend first really putting a lot of thought in the weight you are going to use first of all. Bowling balls cost so much you don't want to be 2nd guessing that decision. In regards to ball selection i would talk to a pro shop operator and maybe do some research your self and find a couple medium aggressive balls. Maybe one polished and one with a little surface and a cheap spare ball. The spare ball will be a good investment.

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. My current balls are 16 pounds but I'm pretty sure I'm going to go to 15. Seems like a lighter ball would be easier to throw.

    Going to my local shop and ask about the Storm line up and others.

    Definitely go into it with an open mind, and you'll come out happy.

    Remember: Storm isn't paying you to throw their equipment. Until they do, rely on the PSO/other experts plus your own research to find what works for your game. I've seen countless people waste hundreds on balls because they look great, or are just too strong for their game.
