So the ball can pick up more speed. For example, if you drop a feather on the ground, it takes a longer time to fall than a heavier object, such as a notepad. A Bowling ball is heavier to gain speed faster.

You should get a ball whose weight is comfortable. If you are just starting to bowl a lighter ball would probably be best but the most important aspect is that the weight of the ball and the span of the finger and thumb holes feels comfortable.

You could definantly throw a 6 pound ball faster than you could throw a 30 pound ball. But your best bet is to use the heavier ball. For one, you'll knock down more pons. Also, it's never good to have to have too much control over your ball (you should let the ball do most of the work) which is why you should get a heavier ball every once in a while.

Throwing a heavier ball will cause more pin action. But, throwing a lighter ball faster could cause the same pin action. My suggestion is throw the heaviest ball you are comfortable with to cause the most amount of pin action for you.

What are the various weight of a bowling ball?

You can buy bowling balls as light a 8 pounds, or as heavy as 16 pounds. Most professional bowlers use 15- or 16-pound balls. Years ago, professionals almost exclusively used 16-pound balls, but with the introduction of reactive resin coverstock and computer-designed weight blocks. the ball drives through the pins harder and deflects off the pins less. Consequently, professionals found they achieved better results with a slightly lighter ball.
