Title: New columbia ball
Post by: achilles on March 22, 2009, 01:06:58 PM: I want to try out a Coulumbia piece. I've thrown almost every company but them. Any suggestions? Not looking to pay alot of money and I like High RG balls.

Post by: pate08 on March 22, 2009, 09:33:32 PM: Most of the balls mentioned so far have lower rg's. If you want a higher rg ball and you don't see a lot of oil, try a wrath high flush or dead flush.

Post by: cheech on March 23, 2009, 12:09:05 AM: i would go with the arch rival. although its a lower RG ball its a great benchmark. gets down the lane and makes a strong smooth move in the back. very versitile

Post by: OG1 on March 25, 2009, 12:39:10 PM: the perfect rival has a low rg core but the reaction is still skid flip with the box finish so I would guess you can enhance that by hitting it with delayed reaction.

Did they run the oil machine? Was there any oil in it.....

Post by: azguy on April 08, 2009, 12:59:54 PM: I got a Perfect Rival just to see what Columbia had to offer, being a Hammer person, thought i'd just try something different. Am I surprised ! The PR is a great ball, solid but more reaction like a skid/flip without as much length as a pearl.

Pearls usually don't work well for me but I like more backend than most Columbia's have shown in the past. Those guys got it right with this one, IMO. Just got a second one for later, as with my luck, usually find a ball that works well for me and they get discontinued fast !

Get one if you can, I think you'll love it.
