14 lb Ball Pull

Post by makemyday »

+Super senior 13 mph avg 185 stroker, Usually down 8-10 board with 15 lb Gamebreaker.

approaching late 70's think 14 lb is better but, have had at least 4 of them (14lb) with 80% of the
time a pull at release. Any suggestions to try, need to order new ball but, no confidence in 14 lb version.

How heavy are your 15s? You could transition to 14 4s

Might be a timing issue. Not necessarily a ball weight issue.
Older bowlers have slower feet and smaller swings.
Try getting the ball going a little earlier so you can move the feet a touch faster, see how that goes.
It sounds like early timing to me.
