I had been wanting to try Columbia for a little while,  finally traded for a NIB Blur Pearl thinking it might be the money ball I've been looking for on our house shot.

Got it back from being drilled last night right before league, dual angle approximately 65 x 4 x 35 which is almost the same as my Blue Vibe that I love. I scuffed the surface by hand a little bit with a used 1000 abralon pad I had in my bag as the surface was a little too shiny for what I normally like.

Decided to throw the ball even though the thumb was too tight, ended up shooting 640 and that was with struggling to get the ball off my thumb. I can't wait to open up the thumb today and throw it some more. I saw good length and a strong move on the backend that didn't quit, carry was definitely high percentage. There were a few balls I thought had a 10 pin coming when I missed and the ball just ripped the rack.

I've heard good things about them as well. I know bowlers who have been raving about the "Down" line, especially the semi-new Throw Down. Happy you found a ball that gives you what you need.
