And also, doesn't mean the point where u hit is a strike point.Originally posted by StarPuppy:I am using a 12 pound ball...slightly reactive...my ball always hit strike point but always no strike...is it too light?
acorrding to my coach...12 pound is the lightest for hook bowlers,he suggest i should use 13-14 lb ball insteadOriginally posted by tErI-yAkI:Doesn't mean that no strike is due to ball being too light.
12lb is heavy loh...

no prob prataman..Originally posted by prataman:You see many of our F.O.S guys throwing 14 lbs, yet our Lady Michelle throws 15. Anything below that isn't recommended for serious hook bowlers, but if it's your first time doing fingertip heavy ball bowling, then you may wish to start with a 14 or even a 13. But that's the lowest you should go.
Carlin... sorry to correct you, but I don't think house balls are polyester. They're just... house balls.... produced enmasse usually charpalang material for house bowling.
11lb ball for spinner. Dun ever think of 15lb. That's crazy. Taiwanese use 12 lbs to spin. Not all of them, but some of them.Originally posted by the Bear:just wondering how light a spinner ball should be... and what material... i'm just a social bowler who bowls more as something to do with friends then anything else
i've been too lazy and using 10lb house balls.. and sometimes 9lb... but the results have always been pretty much the same, it's just dependent on the availability of the balls at the alleys...
thinking of getting a ball for myself for the heck of it..
by the way, i should be able to easily brute force a ball up to 15lb but if i tried to spin a ball that heavy, i'd break my wrist, hand and fingers
