Closest ball to Rival...
« on: January 26, 2011, 11:52:31 PM »
in the current Columbia line-up???  My old Rival is showing its age and I'm getting itchy for a new ball...what do you guys think?


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

The Columbia 300 Burst would be the closest thing to the Rival that is in the current line-up as far as specs goes on both bowling balls.  The Burst RG number is .03 lower than the Rival, so it will be a little earlier on the lane and the diff. are exactly the same.  The surface on both balls are at 4000, the only thing I don't know is if your ball came with polish or not because the burst does.  The burst is a medium oil bowling ball but the surface could be change to make it stronger. 

 

RG/Diff:           (15 lbs) Balls:

2.49/.040          Rival

2.46/.040          Burst
