Hey,  I just threw this thing 16 pounds(suppossed to be 15) RIGHTY drill.

Leverage.  Hey this thing looks good.  One can't see much from my righty bowling so I called over a local member of our 300 club.  He got a good amount of length(ball is scuffed compared to box) and then a real strong backend.

Reminded me of the ICON 2 but a stronger core.

In fact I just liked the motion of the core!  (I know Detour core!).

How come this ball hasn't caught on!

REgards,

I liked the motion so much I may drill as 16!

Lucky,

I think people are very wary of Columbia's particles since the TEC death scare of aa year or three ago. I think they made a good reversal with the Muscle and Muscle GT coverstocks (Throttle and Throttle Up series). Once bitten, twice shy.

columbia's mid-priced line is always pretty good around here, but for some reason the high priced line isn't. i think many people become confused by their balls because they come out with so many so quickly.

I'm not a Columbia fan by any means. I've never had a Columbia ball yet that would work for me.
