Holy high RG in 14#!

They are all quite high lol, but the diff is pretty high for that pricepoint too. Should make for an interesting ball motion with the stronger cover.

It can't be right that this ball has such a low "hook oil" rating compared to the Momentum just because of the change in core.

The two balls are at opposite ends of the rg scale. According to the numbers the Momentum will rev up much quicker than the Freeze.

The black and silver one looks sweet. I was thinking about getting a Mars until now.

Sure it can. Just look at the Jazz. It has a solid Super-Flex coverstock with a similar core and core specs to what will be on the Freeze. There are many older, solid Super-Flex balls that can be used today on some pretty heavy oil when their surface is the same grit level as the Momentum is. And look at how little oil the Jazz is used on, in general. Same difference.

Columbia must not have a market research department. What dipstick is coming up with the names for their Value Performance Line? First "Jazz" and now "Freeze". Do they want these balls to sit on the shelf gathering dust?

It seems to me that the largest potential market for bowling balls is still league bowlers, and as far as I know most league bowlers are still working man and women. So it would only make sense to name the your bowling balls something that would appeal to your potential customers.

How many of you think that "Freeze" is a good name for a ball? Or "Jazz"?

I could come up with better names than that using a boggle game, for Christ's sake. They could name their Value Performance Balls something totally retarded, like breeds of dogs, and still end up being more appealing than "Freeze". (Doberman, Pit Bull, Rottweiler. I know they're dumb, but they're still better than "Freeze".)

Of course you can't please everybody. I feel that Jazz was kind of a corny name, but I think Freeze is a good name for a ball in that category. I think it appeals to younger beginner bowlers, and the core/cover combo should appeal to those who don't care about names.

i like the name, and at that price point I dont think many people care what name is on the ball they are usually more worried about the color, Im not sure I understand why u think the name is bad for the ball? maybe you could explain ur reasoning behind that "lefty"?

For all of the players who have been yearning for a light bulb weight block, and you know who you are(add me), but one with a real cover. They have made some light bulbs but they all had covers that were low end cheaper price point covers. This ball will be a must have for a lot of different players, new players, high rev players, people who loved light bulb cores back in the 90's and early 00's. This ball will be a hit i believe i know i can not wait to throw one. Awesome backend reaction that light bulbs give but the midlane control! This ball will change the game at that price point. I know it will be a must have for any new bowler looking for reactive and will be pushed in my shops and im sure many more.
