Columbia 300 Momentum Bowling Ball

(11 reviews) Write a Review
With Momentum's new NE2 coverstock, more of the ball surface meets the lane. The result is better friction, resulting in greater control in any oil condition. The Momentum comes polished, so its energy is conserved until it reaches the end of the oil pattern. This ball was designed for today's league bowling conditions. It's the dominant league ball that's missing from your bag.

    Dual Angle Drill: 45 x 4" x 55 (I lay out all my own balls using the Dual Angle technique to get a pin-point, tailored ball reaction for my bowling style). The MOMENTUM is currently my favorite ball, because I can really just go out, relax and bowl my "A" game with it. I can adjust my game when needed (with different equipment) to shoot down and in or play mid oil, for example, but I like to swing it and bring it, and this ball combined with our 40ft house pattern REALLY lets me do this (and fairly effortlessly, too). The Momentum shines for me on our house pattern, but I still need to test it on other patterns. I believe this ball will be my go-to ball on any house pattern, and tournament patterns with medium and, possibly, shorter oil distances. I don't anticipate it performing at its optimum efficiency on longer oil patterns, but that is not the intended oil volume for which this ball was designed, either. Check out my MOMENTUM bowling video and see the ball in actio

    My first one is drilled pin above fingers 5 1/4 x 3 from pap and 4000 abralon. This ball is great. after 1-2 games with a strong ball to the right. just a big jump left and WOW. incredible, My second is drilled pin under 4 3/4 x 3 from pap and is oob. Use this ball for for shorter patterns, track area and out side lines. and when my wrath dead flush is to agressive All in all great ball x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

    Columbia tried to integrate new technology to give bowlers a versitile ball that could be used on any condition. In my opinion they failed. I had the ball drilled in the recommended layout which supposedly gives the bowler strong hook with controlled arching backend. I never saw that happen. I tried everything from adjusting to changing the surface of the ball and never really found a look that I liked. When the ball did get into the pocket, it never seemed to carry. This was a huge disappointment for me and because of it I probably won't purchase another columbia ball.

    Well hear is my story got the columbia momentum on a sunday i really found the ball to be extremley good overall, in future i will look for columbia as as leading brand as they used to be as i find the smaller maker such as columbia some of its products have more thought put into them into bigger makers such as brunswick anyway bowled with it on tuesday night ( at rubery hollywood bowl birmingham ) then the ball came back and it was completly trashed, belts marks all over the surface the lot :| completly unrepairable thanks rubery fuckers lmao p.s serious bowlers dont go to hollywood bowl :S

    Great ball for any house with oil. I just bought it and have thrown about 3 1/2 game with it. I bought it for a tournament and it was too strong, had to put it back in the bag. I have yet to find a pair with enough oil for me to use it for an entire game. I have a lot of hand and usually start by throwing at 17- 19 out to 5-7 and back to the pocket. Immediately I had to move right to between 20-25 out to 5 and back. by the end of the game I was bowling inside of 25 and out to 5-7 and still going brooklyn. I throw consistently about 16 mph and having to throw any harder kills my endurance so by the end of the night I am spent. I would only reccommend this ball If you have alot of oil and can throw hard because you will end up chasing the oil before the night is through.

    after 3 practice balls i shot 726. explosive threw the pins, forgiving, ball seems to know what to do even if i don't hit it or if it doesn't come of my hand cleanly. was able to adjust alot faster with it. maybe i just got lucky with my adjustments but i actually looked like i knew what i was doing for once. the ball is what you expect from columbia. dont recommed for slower ball speeds. oh and dont baby it. turn it loose and see what happens. missed a 300 due to my own stupidity and lack of concentration.

    I had it drilled as per the box instructions no 1. Controlled Arc WOW. I usually have the Black Widow drilled the same but its not as strong as the Momentum. I use a wrist support (old Robbys, made in Australia) cupped hand and this ball does everything the Marketers says! Lefty bowling at the 2nd arrow. Monday night I'd start at the 6 board hit the 2 board and onto the PINE - right angles to the pocket. Amazing backend. I wish I had of had this ball drilled up sooner. I really need some coaching on playing different lines to get more out of this ball But I need to give this ball some speed or it just cuts to the right like no bodies business.

    If you want a ball that you can just throw and it will come back and strike then you will love the Columbia 300 Momentum. The first time i threw it. i got a 256. That's good because i'm only a 150-170 average. I only used this ball 7 times but my games were crazy. I got my high score with it 287. I don't have a-lot to say but that this ball is crazy. Oh yea i used VISE fingertips. After i use the ball i spray it down and wipe it off so the ball doesnt soak up oil.

    Ball rolls great I was very impressed with the overall performance of the ball I drilled it up on the recommended layout which puts the pin above the ring finger and 3 inches from the center line. The ball has a great move to the pocket out of the oil and it turns up so hard that it drives right threw the pins for me it leaves way more 8's and 9's then my strogest ebonite stuff but the ball is not for carry down it just wont recover in the oil but I would definately drill another on a diffrent pattern that takes backend off the ball for a higher rev player but the ball is very forgiving would definatly recommend this ball to anyone who likes to play down and in with not alot of han
