in the current Columbia line-up??? My old Rival is showing its age and I'm getting itchy for a new ball...what do you guys think?
That which doesn't kill you will only make you stronger, that which doesn't make you stronger is a waste of time!
The Columbia 300 Burst would be the closest thing to the Rival that is in the current line-up as far as specs goes on both bowling balls. The Burst RG number is .03 lower than the Rival, so it will be a little earlier on the lane and the diff. are exactly the same. The surface on both balls are at 4000, the only thing I don't know is if your ball came with polish or not because the burst does. The burst is a medium oil bowling ball but the surface could be change to make it stronger.
RG/Diff: (15 lbs) Balls:
2.49/.040 Rival
2.46/.040 Burst
