Columbia 300 Cuda/C Bowling Ball

I picked up one of these in high school and I was hooked, threw it a lot and I still have it, I'm up to 5 of them and I want to keep getting them until I run out of space in my rack. The Cuda/C line has a cult following and it will never fade until the last Cuda/C cracks in half

Beautiful ball, anyone can throw. I've only been bowling for 3 months, and this was my second ball. I just bowled a 246 with it. Can be thrown down and in, or a loop shot. Can't be too shiny though for low rev rates. I play the 1st arrow with this ball. 2nd for a loop. Never tried on any other sport patteren than chameleon. This ball was made for that pattern. When thrown with a loop, the cuda will be your best ball for it. This ball will smack the pocket wherever you take it. The only problem is finding the ball. This is a rare ball. I'm currently looking for a 14-15lbs super cuda or a Cuda Pearl. The ball comes nicely polished.

Was an excellent ball for any style bowler. This ball never had a problem turning the corner and carrying from deep in and also had great carry playing up the boards on heavy oil. The superflex coverstock that Columbia used on this ball as well as many others from the ceramicore era is possibly the best coverstock ever used in bowling. Had incredible success with all balls that used superflex but this was one of the better. I driiled this up leverage stacked with a small weight hole to bring it back to legal. This drilling with the box finish made a very lethal combination on oil especially on wood lanes.

This is a remake of the Cuda/C with graphics from the original but with the Super Cuda/C’s coverstock (Superflex). The predictable smooth motion of the ball, & increase in carry has always made this one of my favorites. I’ve had both versions before and liked both for there different qualities, for example the Cuda/C (w/ Flexcel) worked on medium house shots better than the Super Cuda did. Of the two I bought last week Cuda#1 works great on medium house shots when polished to 1500, where as Cuda#2 w/ a surface of 400 works better on the sport shot of the scratch tournament I entered on Sunday. So get one before they all sell out.

I got this ball off the used rack the Bowlers's Edge pro shop the guy that had it before me must not have used it much because all the engravings are intact and clearly visiable. drilled with the fingers below and slightly to the right of the pin, MB is out 1/2 inch and it is polished big time. I like this ball alot at first I thought it wouldn't work well on fresh shots, was I wrong. 14th at the arrows 8th bored at the break point and about 12 feet from the pins snap! it turns the corner awesome as long as you watch the speed. Hits great keeps pins relativly low and throws alot of messengers around for me. the one draw back, it is not as forgiving as new equipment (DUH!!) so I played my line tighter than usual but it makes for good practice anyway some of the new stuff make it to easy. Overall a great ball I will keep my eys open for something similiar in the future

Of all of my years in bowling, this is the best ball i have ever bowled with. I've been to many different tournaments (International Coca-Cola, and Junior Olympic Gold). I've been bowling for a good 9 years already. I have been using this ball ever since. I've bought the original but I used it to the point that there was a HUGE crack in it. I called around to try to find one. Used the Super Cuda. Found the original Cuda Pearl. Bought a Cuda/2000. Then I luckily found the original cuda sittin in a pro shop. Instantly bought it for $40. Now I use it all the time. I've bowled numerous 300's, few 800's.... broke tons of records. It's the best ball ever. Very consistent reaction. No over-under. Awesome to use playing up the boards. Columbia definitely needs to bring this ball back out.
