I drilled mine with the pin and cg in my palm to even out some roll, a new layout for me. This ball reminds me of the Momentum Swings little brother in by a close reaction just a little less. It fits in for me when the lanes get some over under I can bring it out and know the reaction I will get. Great ball for those looking for a lot of ball movement but has a budget.

This is so smooth!! I shot my first PBA 300 with the cool noize! 225 aver on the Chameleon pattern. Cool #1 is 5 inches over ringer box finish. Works great on league pattens as well PBA patterns. Cool#2 is 5 1/2 up CG 4 7/8 from ap deep inside angles. I use these balls alot on the Kegel patterns on local tourns. The Noize line follows each other well, the cool noize gives me both balls in one!Lamont Greene C300 Regional Staffer

Columbia 300 Cool Noize

Pin/CG Distance:  1.5-2”
Layout:  Pin in ring finger, CG kicked slightly towards palm
Surface:  2000 abralon
Reaction:  Mid Lane read with arcing backend reaction

The Cool Noize utilizes a pearl version of the coverstock that was used on the Rival, which was one of my favorite balls of the past couple of years.  One of the weaknesses of the Rival was that it wanted to read the front part of the lane a little too much.  By adding a pearl additive to this coverstock and using the TI-BOSS core which is a little higher RG than the original Rival.  The Cool Noize is a ball best used for playing straighter angles unless the back part of the lane is really hooking.  I’ve used the Cool Noize on league shots when I’m trying to stay a little further right and control the breakpoint.  This ball is very usable on the shorter PBA patterns (Cheetah and Viper) as well.  

The Cool Noize struggles from inside angles unless the backends are really booming.  This is partly due to the layout and the shorter pin distance.  The Cool Noize does a very fine job of controlling over/under ball reaction on wet/dry conditions, if this ball.  As a matter of fact, if this ball can control the over/under, it’s time for urethane or plastic.  

The term “straighter is greater” definitely applies to this Cool Noize.  The Cool Noize will destroy any oil pattern with friction on the gutter because of the mid lane read and continuous backend.    If there’s a shot on the gutter, this is the ball that will come out of my bag first.   This ball struggles with inside angles unless there’s a significant amount of friction in the back part of the lane.   I was looking for a replacement ball for my Rival when it cracked last year and I definitely found it with the Cool Noize.
