I've been using Roto this year (Nomad & Mars) with great success...had my first 299, my highest set ever (781), and currently have the highest average I've ever had.  

Unfortunately, I've been having an "issue" with my thumb...ripped it open...non-bowling incident although bowling re-aggrevates it to where it isn't healing as quickly as I'd like.  So I decided to break out my old Rival only because the thumb hole in this ball is just more comfortable right now than the ones in my Roto balls...I know, crazy reason to do it but it has helped my thumb issue as it has almost healed now.

Anyway, I was wondering which ball in the current Columbia300 lineup is most like the Rival?  That thing just rolls SO SWEET!!!  Makes me wonder why I ever went away from it.  I've had 694 & 692 with it the last two weeks.

If there isn't anything close to it now...a little help from the "insiders", please...is there anything in the works that may be similar to it???

TIA

That which doesn''t kill you will only make you stronger, that which doesn''t make you stronger is a waste of time!

Wow, that's a deal on the Cool Noise.  I really wanted an old rival, but can never find them anymore and I'm done buying dang balls right now.  I gotta wait at least another 6 months or the wife will have my head.  LOL!
