I've looked over the internet. Couldn't find anything in my range that I like. I need an 11Lb. ball, so my wrist won't pop out of socket. My MAX is $150 shipped and drilled. I searched over at bowlersparadise, and there were a few that I may be able to handle.

If you know exactly what you are looking for you can buy online. I bought mine from bowling.com and got a great price on my Absolute Inferno. So just search around for the best price on what you are looking for.
If you dont know what you want I highly recommend getting fitted by a pro near you. They will be able to help you out as there are many choices in balls and it can be overwhelming if you arent sure what you need.
Of course that is only if you are serious about bowling, otherwise you can go just about anywhere and get a cheap ball that doesnt have to be fit.

but why only 11lbs.
all it'll do is bounce off the pins. and not drive through them.
Just buy one at our local bowling alley pro shop. If you only need an 11lb ball, you must not be serious about bowling anyway. Just buy a cheap ball and have it drilled by them. If you buy online, they will charge you more to drill the ball. You can easily get a decent bowling ball for $150 unless you want a top of the line.
Not to be mean but why even bowl then? Believe me, a 11lb ball will not do well. I have bowled for many years (about 10) and that weight of a ball will not have the force to drive through the pins correctly. If you wrist is that weak, you will not be able to get a good spin on the ball either.
any ball under 14# has no rg, that means its just like a plastic ball, so if your just looking for a plastic ball go to your pro shop, their prices should include drilling, so if you buy online and go to your pro shop they will charge you alittle more since it is a blank ball and you did not purchase from them, thats what i would do if you going with a 11# ball

You guys just don't listen do you? I HAVE USED AN 8 POUND BALL AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS PICKING OFF ANY PINS!!! Currently, I use a 12Lb. ball, and I do fairly well with it, but since my wrist are getting worse, I can't continue to use it. If my neices can bowl with a 6Lb. ball and have a pretty good run, I know I can use an 11lb. ball, and do fairly well. I'm not trying to be a professional bowler, just trying to keep my from all the pain, but still have a decent ball. I do this for fun with my family almost every weekend.
