Lynda is hooking the the Cool Noize more than the Full Swing. I think there is some oil pattern magic coming into play here.
She had less angle through the front of the lane keeping the full swing in the oil much longer than the cool. if you get the swing to the dry that fast it would have been through the nose

All I'm trying to say is a few things. If more league bowlers buy a ball based on a video, why not have a guy with powerhouse revs/hook (Chris Barnes) throw the ball to possibly help sales. I think by now, manufacturers know what produces sales.. Extreme flip in the backend, which Chris can easily create.
Hey, maybe I'm just looking at it from the wrong perspective. Maybe Columbia just wants to make a video to show ball reaction, not make sales.
Sorry if anyone takes what I said the wrong way. I didn't mean for it that way.

Nothing against Lynda, she can bowl. But she normally does not hook the ball like that. You can search youtube.com and see her in a bunch of other bowling videos.

I think the videos were made to show a woman could cross boards with these balls. So, people would think: If she could that with the balls, it would be even stronger for me. However, IF the lanes were set up to allow her to swing to the 5 and bring it back, the power of the balls were not accurately presented. With this in mind, it is just advertising/marketing.

Very well put there, sir. Good points that I couldn't think of at 11:16 at night. Too tired.. Lol

But anyways, let me get this straight. People won't buy a bowling ball until they see a bowler 100x better than them that throws it nothing like them throw the ball in a video?

Actually.......no. Not that I can remember. I'm a number/specs man, who's throwing it on what is useless if you don't know the intangibles.

I'm indifferent and really do evaluation off of numbers and what the cover should do for reaction as I usually can't find someone that I can judge off of effectively to gauge what a ball would do for me.

I used to be a Columbia man. I have two older Columbia pieces with that core in them and two AMF pieces with that same core in them. All four pieces are absolute MONSTERS!
I pulled them out and was playing around with them, and kinda went "O Chit!" What do we have here, Margo!" The balls are very strong on the back.
( I first got these balls, very early in my bowling career)
It's good to see Columbia did their research, and is pushing balls that show off that power!
