Columbia 300 Extreme Chaos Bowling Ball

I bought this ball when it first came out hoping for a better lane reaction than I was getting with my Danger zone which I also got when it first came out. To my surprize in the beginning the Chaos did not compare but I can tell you that ball to this day stays in my bag and it is a rare night that I do not use it at some point. I would be lost if something ever happened with that ball.t OK OK I need to get up to 100. Went out tiger hunting with an elephant and gun, in case of accidents I always took my mom,

I drilled this ball to go long and snap hard and it did just that. It seem to travel perfectly straight until the last possible second when you wouldn't even think it had a chance to make it back, and the ball would just snap and hit flush right into the pocket. The ball hits with great authority and clears the deck with no problems. In the right lane conditions the ball has great recovery and is probably more suited for high rev players more than strokers. I have this ball sitting in the closet ever since it cracked on me, and I have went to being a tweaker more than a high rev bowler so I could be more consistent. I plan on plugging up the small crack and having it redrilled. It was a great ball for me, I even bowled my high game of 278 with it. This ball is well suited for medium oil but I've thrown in it in the real heavy stuff and the ball didn't move, I didn't drill it for this kind of oil so it could be better with a different drilling but if the lanes you bowl on are flooded th

I think this ball would be better suited for a stoker. This ball definately did not compare at all with my Chaos in my opinion. Throwing the same shot on medium oil (synthetic lanes) and the Chaos outhooked it by at least 10 boards and crushed the pocket. This ball went REALLY straight and did not have a very strong finish at all. I would not really recommend this ball for any "power/cranker" player which is what I would be considered. Throwing the ball anywhere between 18-20+ mph depending on the conditions. The ball did have a consistant roll and nice arcing motion, but was just not for my tastes, too tame for me. Both balls were drilled pretty much the same the Extreme was drilled to flip more on the backend, but never proved to do so. Conclusion, if you are a stoker this may be your ball. If you are a cranker beware unless you want something for medium-dry lanes.

I finally found the ball to replace the Super Cuda/c that I had resurfaced once to many times. I've gone through several balls trying to come up with something that will move as good as this ball, and still give me the control that I'm used to. As the oil moved down the lane it worked even better. I think that as long as this ball is properly cleaned it will work consistantly for most left handed bowlers. I threw a few lines on synthetic lanes and a couple on wood. The reaction on wood was a little more extreme but it worked well on both.<scr
