Columbia 300 Mass Chaos Bowling Ball

I got this ball becasue I needed a dry lane ball when the heads fry up... A friend has it before me and he said it was a good ball, just not for him and I got ahold of it and now im keeping this sucker. This ball is very versital, because you can play the straight down the 2nd arrow, and have it snap back, or you can stand left and throw it out to the 2nd arrow, to open the lane more. I will report back on this ball when i play it on heavy, fresh oil, but one thangs fo' sho, I'm keepin' this ball shortie...

Well I recently repoed this ball from the racks at Sky Top. I gave it a try and to my surprise, it actually seemed to work pretty well. I figured there's no harm being done by using a free bowling ball. Definitely my ball of choice when we bowl on lanes 39 and 40 which have a tendency to chew up bowling balls basically...leaving many marks and scratches because Sky Top is too cheap to fix them. Basically, this is my house ball for now. I figure why waste my good equipment that I paid money for when I can just use this instead? That way if it gets chewed up, there's no harm done really. All in all, I don't have any high expectations for this ball, but hey if I can shoot a few high scores with it, that'd be cool.

This ball was the first higher performance ball I ever had so it has a special place in my heart. However, be that as it may, this ball was amazing for the first 9 months of bowling. Then it started dying. I had it resurfaced, worked for about 2 weeks. Now it's dead. I can still use it on dryer lane conditions but the 10 pin stares back at me if it's not an absolutely perfect ball. As a beginner's ball I'd recommend this to anyone and also to anyone who has enough money to replace it within a year or so. It never overreacts and is pretty forgiving.

i've had this ball for 2 years, nothing has changed in the reaction of the ball. i practice almost everyday averaging 50+ games a week, averaging 210. ball loves to play in the oil. makes most of the newer balls that i have thrown look like a joke. with my release the ball rolls very well on any condition. when the lanes become dry all i need to do is drop my wrist and the ball goes nice and long then makes a break for the pocket. the only other ball that rivals this 1 that i have found so far is my Track - Assassin.

I have been bowling for many years now and I have found that I like many balls and I dislike a few. I am an absolute powerhouse and let me tell you that this ball just flat out sucks. I threw this ball and it only hooked about 10 boards (which is bad for a person with over a 20 revs. Now no wonder they discontinued this piece of sh**. I would suggest the all new Icon 300. Now there is a ball that knows what it is doing. Best of luck to all of you bowlers and many strikes.

The pin out on this ball is 1 inch and it is drilled at 2:30 oclock. Almost out of every ball I owned this one is one of my favorite. This ball is very predictable. has a very hard breakpoint and it is so controlable. This ball waits for the last second to finally break and hit the pins. That is what I really like about this ball.I reccommend this ball on oily lanes.For backend on this ball I give it a 10. The only thing i find wrong with this ball is that it will need resurfacing after about 100 games. Because the shell has little micro ballons and they will wear down after some time. <scrip
