There was a show this year, Duke vs. Jones I believe, when Randy P. told Rob that Duke prefers to throw 16lbs to snap the ten out. "that extra pound makes a lot of difference." And I was like what?!!! He also mentioned the WRW sometimes would go back to 16#....
Anyway, if someone is using 16# and his/her speed is slow @ 16 to 12 mph at release, I'd suggest maybe he/she drop to 15 or maybe 14. Likewise, if a person is rolling a 14# and is 20+ mph at release, I'd suggest maybe trying 15#. Speed is good, but you also want the ball to slow down at the right moment as it rolls into the pocket for better carry.
