Question
i use a 14 lb ball, i want to have a spare ball with lesser weught, what weight would you suggest, thanks for your help

Answer
I do not like the different weights in balls that are used.  There is no reason to place another variable in the swing.  Each weight of ball will want to swing at a different speed and can cause some timing issues.  If you use a 14# ball then the spare ball needs to be the same weight.

Good luck,
Chip
