Q. Several of my friends have switched to 15-pound bowling balls. I was thinking about it since I have a bad back. In fact, you may even get more carry. Today s bowling balls hit so hard that they lose deflection.
Some deflection is a necessary part of pin carry.
In the pro shop I work at, we have only two 16-pound balls left. I get almost no calls for them anymore. The 14 and 15 have become today s standard. Give it a try you will be pleasantly surprised.
