Rival is Greatest
« on: November 19, 2008, 04:06:32 AM »
I have been a Storm guy most of my career.  Looking for something a bit different, I punched a Rival late last year.  This ball is phenominal, and I never had a ball that just was this smooth.  I don't get to use it often, due to needing oil, but I was able to use it last night.  289-279-275=843 series.  It was just unbelievable to see what this ball was doing.  I just want to create this and give Columbia a shout out, for making such a wonderful piece of equipment.  I have drilled a few Rivals for customers, but now I am a believer and might just have to drill some more for me.....

THANK YOU COLUMBIA 300

Awesome game!! I have converted alot of people to try the C300 Rival since last year. And I still preach about the ball to newcomers that had never tried C300. The ball till this day is "Money". I say to anyone that's looking for an 80%er, ball, The Rival is truly the best ball ever made!!!

Since this my only Columbia at the moment, to all you Columbia fans out there, I have a question.

Does the rest of the Columbia brand carry as well as the Rival??  The pins seem to stay low and I don't get many bad breaks.  

Keep me posted, may have to start trying a few others....

My only C300 at the moment is a Noize and I love the ball.  It gives me dependable low pin action.  I do know a few people who are using alot of C300 stuff and doing quite well with them.

I have the Rival and the Momentum and the Momentum carries just as well if not better than the Rival

I definitely agree that this is a characteristic of C300 balls.  I have 2 Rivals, Resurgence, Wrath DF, Momentum and they all exhibit the same kind of look through the pin deck.

I have a Rival... about 10 games on it, nice ball, but doesn't work well in the house I got it for... too strong. If anyone is looking for one, let me know....
