Columbia 300 Dr. Jekyll Bowling Ball

(6 reviews) Write a Review

If you're ailing on dry lanes the Doctor is in! This latest entry level two piece reactive is the Dr. Jekyll. This type of performance has been a benchmark in the Columbia 300 line for many years. Dr. Jekyll will give you great length and then a strong turn or "flip" on the backend of the lane. It's perfect for today's drier conditions.

    Gave it a score of 8 for the reason that if you have the panic, its going to do pretty much the same thing (only reason i have one is cause it was the second ball in the two ball challenge. Overall it is a good ball, hits really hard and has a nice arc....i have mine drilled with the pin under my ring finger and the cg off to the right, (drilled kinda agressive...didnt want it to do exactly as the same as my panic) Just be careful with turnin ur back on it, i blasted a ton of 9 pins with mine thinkin they were strikes GOOD LUCK AND HIGH SCORES!!!

    i got this ball drilled early and strong with the box finish. and a weight hole. pin slightly overthe ring finger. i am left handed. i got this ball because i thought it would between my tornado warning and ultimate inferno. iwas wrong. on medium lanes i was standing 27 with a weak hand position and throwing faster than normal up 2arrow. today i bowleed on not dry but drier lanes and i was standing 33 with a weak hand position, throwing it out to 6 and it was still screamin back and was speed sensitive. the only thing i dont like like is that i hooks way too much.

    Uhh, good ball for dry lanes. I put a lot of revs on my ball most of the time, but I cut that down. Rolls smoothly, hooks nice and the bite is minimal for my pin location. Push on a lot of revs, and you could use this ball on up to medium oiled lanes. The only problem you could face is missing your mark, and cranking the ball. If you crank the ball, do not get this ball. Umm.... I can't really think of anything else to say to fill up the one hundred word minimum, so this is how I filled the rest of the words.

    I would stand center dot and shoot 8 to 13 with any of my other balls with the same amount of torque as i use with my other balls this one would hook so much that i couldn't control it. I tried standing first dot and shooting 20 and thats what i got the best reaction but that would get me only that difference bc i would throw it through the head hitting 21 or 10 pin or in the gutter hitting the 19. Overall I don't think this ball is for anyone but if you want to risk it more power too you.<scr

    This ball is amazing, especially for league shots. If there is enough oil you can bowl from the corner but if it is dry you can switch right to throwing it out to the third arrow, and have it come right into the pocket. I have had this ball for the past 3 weeks, and for the conditions I am in there isn't a better ball out there. I currently own the Big Bully, The Backyard Bully, The Vertigo, X-Factor Reload, and of course the Dr. Jekell. With all my other balls that I own I could never just use one ball for the whole night; I would switch back and forth all night. Which is not a good thing, because you can never get comfortable with the ball before you have to switch. However, this ball is really starting to make me a believer in only using one ball. I bought this ball for dryer conditions but have found out that this ball works great for bone-dry lanes and regular oiled league lanes. I have always thought the more expensive the ball the better it is, which is sort of true if you are l

    This is my first Jekyll series one.Just because I had played a 15lbs Panic not long ago & the core design was totally same as this one.Adn I just want to find out the difference between Panic & Dr.Jekyll. I drilled it with pin at ring finger,CG kick out horizontally 1" from hand CG.I used this ball to find out suitable curve & prepare to use it for some local tournalment use.But I love the ball carries with very smooth & allows lot of range on outside first arrow. I had used it shot out 276-223-238-250 series package within 20 games trial.This one just amazing!! If you don't care about the color combination.This is quite nice ball with pretty nice price tag for mid lane selection.You should not miss this one if you ever played Jekyll or Panic before.Same as usual,the versatile core made me satisfied! Enjoy your games,too. <
