What WEIGHT BALL do you use??

**MICHAEL** · 12-04-2012, 12:09 AM

I know a few good bowlers that have well over 220 averages that use 14 lb balls, It would be interesting to know how many out there use what weight, that have 200 plus league averages! Please list the weight, and brand of ball if you would! I know some Big guys I know throw the 14, and swear that’s the reason their average jumped up from around 200,,, up 20 pins to 220 plus! I wonder what the reason would be, but I have seen some in action,,,,, and they make that ball work!!!

My 3 balls are 14s because the proshop guy said that would be best of me, But one of my team mates is saying i should get a 15 so i might get a 15 as some point

I am a 16lb guy, for both my balls. DV8 Marauder Madness and a Columbia Scout Reactive. I also throw around 18 mph with them so I don't think going down in weight will make much of a difference.

Sidenote - I am 6'3 and 275 lbs. So handling the extra couple pounds is no big deal.

I could see in a couple years moving down to 15 or 14 eventually. I am almost 30 so I have a few years left to use a little extra strength.
