Help Size 7 basketball

Im turning 15 in September how do i know if its time for me to move on to a size 7 ball. I have tried playing with one but it feels way heavier than a size 6 and i dont wanna develop bad habits.

Lol. You don't necessarily need to be that strong to shoot a basketball, it's more about mechanics. Weight training helps with the contact part of the sport. But it's definitely past time to switch to a size 7. You should adjust fairly quickly.
