Columbia Freeze - Under/Over ?
« on: May 07, 2010, 10:38:04 AM »
I purchased the Freeze back in August and have not yet figured this ball out.
I have seen alot of under/over reaction.   Ball is pin under, CG kicked out OOB finish.  Has anyone done some cover maintenance on their's ???

I never saw much over/under with the OOB finish.  However, it was much stronger and much more skid/flip than I wanted.  I drilled it tame, pin over ring finger with the CG in grip center.  I put it on the spinner and hit it with light pressure, a lot of water, and a white Scotchbrite pad.  I still get excellent length, but I get more of a hard arc on the backend, rather than a flip reaction.  Don't be afraid to lightly knock the shine off the ball, I think you will like the reaction.

I have the freeze drilled similar to yours NY I found that drill caused a to much snap on the back end. So I took the shine off with a 4000 abralon pad on a spinner. tamed the snap down and gave a more controlled off the break. You may talk with your driller of a possible balance hole in it.  Depending on where the hole is placed and can help calm the backend reaction down.

That is just what I expected many to say about this ball...higher RG than that of the old TI messenger series and pearl....

JUST what many would suspect....too late a break easily fixed with a little increase in surface!

I have not experienced any over under with that ball, but common sense would say take the polish off and rough the surface a little as stated above.

I would hit it with 2000 or 4000. I have even found that using storm step 2 compound works really well.

Words of advise. Limiting your self to just one company is never smart. Get proven balls out on the market. Global, Storm inc, Ebonite international, er what ever it may be.
