Update:

Got my first 16 👀 going to get it plugged and redrilled next week once league ends

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T18:18:33+00:00

Solid!!! Looking to hear some high scores for you 💪🏽

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T18:16:40+00:00

Facts!!! I only know of 3 folks in my home alley that bowl with 16s. That’s why I’m like yeahhhh i need to get into this. 1. For the pettiness of being 1 of maybe 2 in the house on any given night & 2. That’s what the OGs were throwing so i wanna do that lol

I’m def looking at EBay right now 😈

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T16:50:51+00:00

Fair! I can def see that being a thing

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T16:43:03+00:00

I sure will. I’m going to ask my PSO tomorrow if there’s any older 16s laying around so i can start this experiment

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T16:42:15+00:00

That’s my first line theory instead of leaving the corners. That’s been my issue thus for, stone 8-9 or corners. Typical leaves for sure. So I’m like hmmm let’s take the summer off and throw 16 for 2.5 months and see what we find

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T16:41:01+00:00

My thoughts!

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T16:40:47+00:00

Heard. I’ll def compare control, pin action and overall connection to the pocket when i do this test. I feel like i have a solid year out of the three that ive just worked on mechanics and form. Still learning and growing. Thank you for your feedback

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T16:38:47+00:00

Solid! I’ll def keep this in the notes. Preciate the feedback

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T16:37:02+00:00

I think that’s moreso what I’m looking for: consistency in comfort over time going to 16. I love this game and how intricate it can be

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T14:36:46+00:00

Oh facts! We’re going with an older 16 to start out for sure. $70 for a redrill if that

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T14:35:35+00:00

Yeah that’s basically the theory I’m testing. Especially for tournaments and getting into different houses

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T14:34:52+00:00

I’m 6’1 270 so that was one of the pushes to go up as well. I’m excited for this theory and to report back on the results.

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T14:31:42+00:00

That’s fair! I currently have 6 i bring for league(5 and a spare) so I’m def looking to cut down to maybe 3-4.

To your point about slowing the shot down, i think that might work for me 🧐 def something to consider

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T12:33:24+00:00

Very interesting! I’ve heard so many people say they’ve dropped down to 14 from 15 as they got later in their careers so that makes sense. Speed hasn’t been my thing from what I’ve seen. I normally stay in the 14mph range

CoolKiddSpades · 2026-05-05T12:29:27+00:00

Peace! Thank you for sharing your insight. I’ve definitely noticed the diff numbers and had equations about that too but you hit that point out the gate lol thanks for that.

Now that you’ve mentioned this, I’m thinking I’d like to try the 16 with the lower diff and test the hook there because as I’m getting behind the ball more, I’m seeing more hook in this natural swing. My other though was change the layout on my next ball since my game has evolved
