What weight should my bowling ball be?

Is it better to use a lighter or heavier bowling ball?

The heavier the ball the more hitting power and driving power, and the more pin action. Using a ball that’s one pound lighter eases a significant amount of strain on a bowler’s body over the course of a 30-week league session, a tournament or, in the case of the pro bowlers, a tour season.

Should I throw a 15 or 16-pound bowling ball?

If you can’t comfortably throw a 16-pound ball, you’re not going to bowl well and you’re going to hurt yourself. If you step down to a 15 or 14-pound ball, your game will improve dramatically, as you’ll be able to throw the ball all night without as much strain on your body. This also lowers your chance of injury.
