Columbia 300 is bringing back an old ball name for a completely new bowling ball. The Columbia 300 Power Torq uses a multi-density core called the Torq to target mass properties within the body of the core to augment the ball motion. This dynamic core is covered with Columbia 300's ERT base with a solid additive and a little traction-increasing sparkle. This solid reactive bowling ball is sanded but is not ideal on heavy oil conditions. The technology in this ball makes it very versatile.

Color: Sky Blue
All colors do vary somewhat from the picture shown
Core: Torq (16-14#)
Coverstock: ERT Solid
Finish: 500, 2000 Siaair Micro Pad
Reaction: Length with continuous backend
Radius of Gyration (RG): 2.489 (15# ball)
Differential: 0.054 (15# ball)
Recommended Lane Condition: Medium to heavy oil
Hook Potential: Medium
Length: Middle

LANE CONDITION

Volume: Various

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): Sports shots


COMMENTS

Likes: I've had the Power Torq for about 6 or 7 weeks now and the thing that jumps out at me most is how well it takes surface changes. I used it on 5 different sports patterns in 5 different houses and it has really turned into my first out of the bag ball. I've taken the cover as low as 500, used it at 1000, 1500, & recently 2000 and the ball just keeps performing. Surprisingly to me, it clears the heads easily, has a smooth rounded arc but the real beauty of this ball is how it goes through the pins. It is very continuous without much deflection at all. So far it has exceeded my expectations.

Dislikes: If I had 1 complaint it is how hard it is to keep pretty. The light blue surface shows every belt mark. Hard to clean.

It's a not a throw back, it's a re-invention.  Join #TeamLSR as they take the All-New "RETRO" Columbia 300 #PowerTorq to the lanes.  Unlike a lot of rereleases, this "old" name plate has some MODERN performance!

The Power Torq a great symmetrical piece from Columbia 300. The out of the box finish is very clean with a continuous backend. I drilled mine 45x4x35 and I was able to find my way to the pocket on my local house conditions very easily but for those tournament patterns I needed to apply a grittier surface which this ball takes very well. This is a great all around ball that you can either start with or ball down from a big solid asymmetrical ball (Command Solid) or when your big asymmetrical pearl (Command Pearl) is too violent. The Power Torq will make a great addition to any bag.

COMMENTS

I drilled this ball as a benchmark to my arsenal, and that is exactly what it is.

It is always the first ball out of my bag because it is that Goldie Locks of skid, hook, and shape.

I expected it to be early and smooth, but it's actually not super early or smooth. It's pretty strong for a symmetrical ball. It gets through the front quite well. Not overly ambitious on the back-end, but sufficiently continuous to strike from even the deep inside angles.

I have adjusted the surface a few times, and it seems to work well with any surface, but I prefer 500 grit.

The Power Torq by Columbia 300 might be the best symmetrical solid I have ever thrown to date.  My Power Torq reads the mid lane and has a very continuous but predictable motion on the back end.  The Power Torq has proven to be very versatile and I have been able to play multiple angles to the pocket depending on the oil pattern with a good carry percentage.  This ball is a “must have” and bowlers that are looking for predictable motion and versatility should visit there local pro shop operator and inquire about this ball.

A ball name that has great retro vibes, but this ball is anything but old. The all new ERT Solid reactive coverstock finished at 500/2000 Siaair Micro Pad can tackle medium to heavy lanes with a continuous backend motion.  What that means to us as bowlers is, a fantastic benchmark solid. This ball is the first out of my bag on my house condition. The ball reads the friction like a map. Clean through the fronts and not shy on the backs.  The Power Torq creates great angles when I need to move left and still plays with control. The cover contains a light load of traction-enhancing sparkle that helps it dig in without fizzling out too early.
