Your question is way too open ended.  Are you looking for anything in particular - a particular reaction, a particular cover, a particular price range?  We need a little more information to go on if you want any relevant response.

Everything in my bag save my spare ball is Columbia equipment.  No complaints at all, even on Sport compliant and PBA patterns.

Open Ended? Well I don't mean to be that way, but I'm just wondering overall, price range and coverstock or anything, it doesn't matter..I'm just talking about overall, have they put out anything worth purchasing? Any advice is appreciated...thanks again

Bully vs. Big Bully

What exactly is the difference? The only thing I can tell is the specs (e.g. rg, differential, etc.) how exactly are the reactions different? Big Bully looks stronger, but I just don't see the concept from C300. Any advice/opinions are greatly appreciated. Obviously whoever put the Scout post with a cracked bridge thinks C300 is crap, and thats cool too. I think Hammer is a total waste of a bowling ball also.

The Drive and Alter Ego are a good match up.

The Drive is a very nice ball that is clean through the heads with a ton of backend.  The Ego was an overlooked strong rolly pearl ball and the Super Trooper is a great control ball for lighter conditions.  Those are actually the only three Columbia balls I like that they are making right now.

I have a Detour and it's a very good skid/hard arc to flip ball.  Hits hard and drives thru the pins on many medium conditions.  Just put a label drilling on it and does exactly what I thought it would.
