Title: Columbia IQ
Post by: jensm on May 18, 2003, 12:41:12 PM

I've seen mentions of a new ball called Columbia IQ on a board here in Sweden. Anyone here know anything about it?

The closest place to the U.S. where youll be able to find it is in Buffa, Canada. Its currently not approved by ABC or PBA. They plan to have it approved soon though.

Buffa isn't stocking the IQ presently either.
I live in Montreal. Sorry we don't get any european goodies either.

I asked Columbia about the coverstock on this ball. Turns out it is a "combination on the Muscle coverstocks, UFO, and one other particle". Swedish staff player Tomas Leandersson replied to a post of mine on a Swedish board. In his opinion the I.Q absolutely is the best ball in the Icon line. Nice and steady rolling with a decent backend kick.
