Finally decided to drop to 14lb ball - but what to get?

[taxexpert2]

I have decided it is time to give up the 15 lb ball Roto Grip Unhinged and find something in the 14lb range that I like. I have a 14 lb Storm Punch out that I picked up a couple of years ago that I like some what. Can anyone suggest something similar to this? Maybe a little more reactive but not a lot more reactive? For reference I am female, with a 171 average. Sort of a tweener bowler. I bowl in two leagues where I have among the highest female averages (highest in one but not the other but still up there).

I am thinking about a HyRoad - which I had before. Any other suggestions?

I recently picked up the new Roto Grip Daredevil and I can't say enough good things about it. Very versatile ball that I can use on a lot of different conditions. Smooth and predictable but still has a lot of shape down lane.

It is a pearl 1500 polished like the Punch out but a more aggressive symm core. The Storm Code Black is another option as it uses the same coverstock as the Punch out but with a much stronger assym core. The Hyroad is a proven ball as you know. I think it would be hard to go wrong with any of the 3.

I bowl in a senior league and I also wanted to go to 14, but I have noticed that the guy's who use 14's leave some 5 pins and 14 doesn't seem to hit hard enough. I'd like to since my ball speed now with the 15 is only like 12mph

Hard to beat a classic like the hyroad and it should be a good step up from the punchout. I'd go with that and build from there but they should make a good 1-2 for league night.

I agree nwitrh the above mentioned Hy-Road and Dare Devil. A coupe other choices would be the Hy-Wire from Roto, the Forza GT or Venom Cobra from Motiv, any of the Diva's from DV8

I couldn't agree more, I dropped to 14 three years ago and have tried about 8 different balls since then, the Hy-Road has been the most usable, dependable ball of any of them, and still the first ball out of the bag most nights.
I would say there are 10 to 20 other guys I know with HYRoads and none of them will give them up.

I have a 14 lb Unhinged which I don't use much anymore. It has been drilled though

DV8 Diva would be a good choice IMO...

People bowl 300 games with 14's.

Try the Hy-Road as you mentioned. Probably the most reliable ball out there.
