i bought a remake in august and it is just as good as the origional 2 that i have. the cover stock is just a little different color--but keep in mind my other 2 have atleast 500 games on them.

i have been waiting to find a cuda/c pearl for the last 3 years now. i have one but it is starting to show its age.

Something doesn't make sense to me bout this one..

Seller states..:

Columbia - CUDA "C"

This is the Polished version. Not the pearl version  

Product Information


Coverstock: Reactive Pearl
Weight Block: 2-piece
Ball Color: Maroon
Ball Finish: Polished
Radius of Gyration: Medium
Differential: High
Lane Condition: Medium Oil




As far as i can remember, the original Cuda/C was matte..

I dare you to visit http://hammeroftruth.com

FS: Slate Blue Quantum 14.97#, 2.5oz Top Weight, Pin 2" to 3". Asking price is a NIB 15# BVP Mammoth with similar pin/top + $57 (covers drilling and shipping on the Mammoth for me), or $159, whichever is cheaper for you (both options include shipping the SBQ to you)


Hmmmmmmmmmm.......... If the REMAKES are POLISHED, then this ball actually isn't as rare as the seller states..

I sent an eBay message to the Seller and asked if they are the original or the reissue version; I'll update upon hearing back.

BTW, the original WAS matte.

The first quite possibly is an original since the pin is 2-3". The second lists the pin as 3-3.5" pin or whatever. Columbia didn't measure pins to the half inch back when the original was made. They didn't start this until a year or so ago.

i emailed the seller and asked for a picture of the serial number. on my remake the USBC logo is under the serial number, so we will soon see if these are origionals or not.

I bought a NIB 15lb Cuda/C Pearl off ebay a couple years ago.  Its a great ball. So keep looking, you never know when they'll pop up.  Also bought an original Blue Hammer about 5 years ago.

Wow!  I wasn't aware Columbia was remaking the Cuda/C.  There is nothing on their website that says so.  Does anyone have any more inside info on these?  Will they be remaking the pearl Cuda/C?  And what kind of coverstock are on these bad boys?  I had an original Cuda/C pearl, and I'd love to have another one.  I've been thinking about a new arsenal.  Nothing would be better than a new solid and pearl Cuda/C in my bag!  Any info would be great!  Thanks in advance.
