using a lower weight ball got their advantages.. some lower weight balls can flare a lot more than heavier balls.. you need to look at the specifications of the balls.. the differential rg.. the higher the differential rg.. the more flare you will have and thus more grip on the lanes..

and.. lower weight ball you could rev a lot more than heavier balls which translate to more hook.. more rev = more hook = more pin action.. however.. you hitting power goes down and down and down.. so you may not be able to strike or avoid spilts as much as a heavier ball..

usually its advisable to get a 14lbs.. they call the sweet weight or something like that.. just perfect.. but ofcourse the hitting power wont be as great as a 15lbs.. but then again.. if you buy a 15lbs ball.. you drill it.. it will maybe become 14.8lbs or 14.5lbs.. LOL!

those uncles or aunties are money bowlers.. they bowl for money.. so they dont bother whatever style there is in bowling.. as long its a strike.. its ok.. LOL!

for us(Im assuming everyone is having the same view as me).. we treat bowling as our passion and we want to be extremely good in it.. its different..

haha.. nice club for bowling discussion u all have here..
nway i'm a newby in bowling.. not too new actually.. have been playing for several years already but mostly for fun lah.. but lately have been playing really often.. wanting to improve myself.. love this game i must say..

so wanting some tips for a newbie like me.. i mean have been using ball size ranging from 9 - 11 (as stated on the bowling balls in the bowling alley) so want to know wut's the actually size (kg/Lb) for these size..

secondly wanting to know opinion of all out there..would it be beneficial / worth it if i were to buy a bwling ball for my own.. and if yes.. what type of ball suitable for me? i mean brand? price range? currently i throw straight ball but really trying hard to go for hook ball.. love the style.. hehe

opinions are really welcome!! please pros outhere..

it depends on ur weight n height kot..
hmm one of the expert told me that, 10 percent from ur weight, is the weight that suitable for ur bowling ball..
but, depends on ur wrist strength..
kalo slah info..betol kan ekk otai2 yg len..

hakhkahak..
info kt ats nie diterangkan oleh expert k2anthrax sbnarnye... 
time sy nk beli bola dulu..

of course will effect the ball motion and condition but mine already pluges over 5 times and i still can get high score with it hehe 
when u want to play hook style, u must also to know about oiling pattern (lane condition). when u meet dry lane, plastic @ urethane @ pearlize entry level ball will suite with this condition. when u meet heavy oil lane condition, u need to use aggressive ball like high performance or sanded or solid coverstock ball. also need to drill the ball with the right layout to suite the lane condition 

hi everyone, noob here..

need some advice here. currently i'm using brunswick powergroove reactive 12lbs. average about 140 only. sometimes, the ball hit 1-3 pin but still there is/are pin left. so, i'm think of to upgrade to heavier ball probably 13lbs since my uncle give his 13 lbs urethane ball to me recently. is it worth to upgrade to 13lbs or go straight to 14 or 15lbs? new ball or 2nd hand ball?
