my avg, before this game was 121, so the first game wasnt bad but the last two i should have used a beach ball to bowl with.
From here i might go get a new ball, made to fit me, but if i suck after that then my new bowling ball is getting thrown through the front windows of the bowling alley  |
I agree with them. If you have to squeez the ball with your fingers then the holes are to big. I can hold my ball hanging from only my thumb, by just bending my thumb slightly or only from my finger tips.
But 14lbs is too light. You need to have a ball properly drilled and 16 lbs.
I actually went to 15 from 16 because my ball was driving so hard but you'll want a 16 pound.
With a properly drilled ball you should be able to just squeez slightly with your hand (palm) to hold it securly and NOT your fingers.
But practice a bit with it. Might be weird at first.
