@@RevItUpBowling I see! I've been throwing 14 lately myself. Much easier on my wrist and back, but I feel as though it doesn't hit as hard as a 15 would. You think its noticeable?
@@broski818 Throwing 14 has definitely been easy on my body. I will say there are certain things I like about it but there are a few negatives as well. I know 14 doesn’t hit as hard as 15 however, if I can throw better shots and keep my body healthier over the course of a long block of bowling, I’ll be able to make up that difference. With either weight, I have specific misses. Typically with 14, I have more of a tendency to over hit the ball or throw it faster once in a while. With 15, I had misses where I simply don’t release it the same because of the extra strain on my wrist. Either way, I’ve found success with both, I just prefer 14 currently because I’m in like pain and recovery is faster.
It was lane shined by the end of it. This ball does take a shine pretty quickly. I did polish it after this video and that worked pretty well for our house shot.
RG means "radius of gyration," which is like a special way to describe how its weight is spread out inside. Imagine it as a measure of where the heavy part of the ball is. If a bowling ball has a high radius of gyration (RG): This means that the heavy part of the ball is far away from the center. When you roll the ball, it doesn't spin as quickly and goes further before it starts to curve. If a bowling ball has a low radius of gyration (RG): This means that the heavy part of the ball is closer to the center. When you roll the ball, it spins faster and starts curving sooner. So, if you want the ball to go straighter and longer before curving, you want a high RG ball. If you want it to curve sooner, you go for a low RG ball.
