I read here that someone carries an 8lbs ball?hmm....Well as a
general guide, and I do mean general...Unless under instruction to
increase or decrease ball weight, the general rule of thumb is that
you carry your age in weight.
That means that if you are 14 yrs old, you carry 14lbs. If you are
10yrs old, you carry 10lbs. This rule applies to a maximum of
15lbs. No one really carries 16lbs anymore. And please don't try to
be smart and ask things like what if you are 30yrs old? Do you
carry 30lbs balls?
... The usual response to such a question would usually be yes, if
you have balls that weigh that heavy...Cheers!
