A little stronger plastic ball with a pancake core???

The coverstock on plastic balls are basically all the same, they are made of polyester and a pancake core is basically the weakest core you can get.

If you wanted something stronger., You'd have to get at least a plastic ball with a more dynamic core than a pancake core.

But since all you use are 9-10lb balls it's unlikely you'll ever find one.

Finding a coach that can teach you the basics of bowling might be more helpful.
Getting rid of the chest pass would help immensely as well.

And as you said here and in prior threads, he needs to get a coach so that he can learn how to bowl. Whether it's the conventional style or the 2 handed style, he'll never be successful. (Remember that this is the same guy who insists that he will have a PBA card soon)

Plastic balls are for spares and plastic ball leagues (if there are any). And if he has any revs as he claims, then he won't be able to get more than an entry level ball because everything else will be much too strong for him.

Let us also try to consider the source as well.
