@dragnet53 13 pounds would be too light. 15 pounds is the most popular weight. We wouldn't go any lower than 14 pounds. Also, the fit of your bowling ball can have a big effect on how heavy the ball feels. If the holes don't fit as they should and you have to squeeze, it will make the ball feel heavier. You should have the fit checked out as well.
@bowlingballcom okay thanks for the reply and I will try a different Pro Shop and see what they think. There is one not to far from my college and will visit them. Thanks for the help!
@bowlingballcom I am currently using a 16lb bowling ball. I can only seem to throw it well one time a week. If I try bowling the next day my game completely drops. I workout about 3 times a week and 16 lbs should be no problem. I am thinking about dropping down to 13 lbs is that acceptable?

14 pounds should do.
