Columbia 300 Over Drive Bowling Ball

This ball rolled great on the Sport Pattern, 38ft. medium pattern. The lanes played pretty tight outside...(I played str8 up 4)The OverDrive is drilled pin above the ring finger and the mass bias 1/2" left of thumb in a stable position. Also the OverDrive has a weight hole 2 1/4" down on VAL. This ball is clean through the heads and has a fast predictable midlane read and a hard arcing action towards the pins...carry is great. This ball fits in my arsenal because the OverDrive reads carrydown better than my Power Drive when playing the same line. Action Max, Action Packed, Bully, Power Drive, OverDrive, and U-Turn Pearl

Covering Reaction: The only reason I gave this ball 9 pins is because it took almost 50 games the Accelerator coverstock to break in. After it did however, this was a truly amazing ball. My overdrive was a color blem, pretty much a large excess of yellow in the ball, and came in a high gloss polish finish. I did try using this ball dull, however it hooked so much it basically rolled out on every condition I threw at it. Polished however, this ball is amazing on broken down, patchy, or just generally used or crappy conditions. Because of this balls amazing consistancy, it truly is able to react the same way on even the worst broken down conditions, allowing you to throw it to the same mark each time, knowing it will crush the pocket... Covering Hit/Carry: Wow is all I can say about the hit of this ball. Often times this ball does hit too hard and leave a 9 pin, howeer that's to be expected. If used on dryer conditions, this ball does tend to leave 10 pins, however on almost any

Well this is anouther great ball from columbia that is very versital. I had one drilled for great midlane reaction and strong arc. This one I had drilled for late reaction and mega backend and it does just that. This ball seems to really hit a brick wall and turn left. Now if you put this on a lane with oil and you let it hit it is tends to over skid and flip to late and you eather punch holes or you go dead head pin and leave somthing nasty. Now over my two reviews and drill patterns this drill pattern is good for people who throw with a high ball speed and high rev rate and, dont really play inside 3rd arrow. I think this because they will make it get down the lane better then us with average ball speed around 15-16.5 and high revs. the extra speed will alow for it to get down there and rev up at the right time.

Ok now i got this ball very cheap seeing how it was a blem. Now that doesnt mean that it is going to be a ball that wont work. I had it drill with pitches in it so that i couldnt spin the ball. Now i used it and i liked it it rolled great i mean it seamed to hit great and carry great. Now i mean this wasnt a ball that hit the pins like a 18 wheel mack truck it was a trype of ball that reminds you of the old days that carryed great aand sent messengers everywhere. Now the first week i used this in juniors i shot a 658 set and to that date it was my high set in the league. I then used it the fallowing week and shot a 741 set and took over the league high set. This ball just took to oil and it was carrying everything. Now i will be posting a review on anouther overdrive that is completly different so keep your eyes on out for it. Now the pin is right under my ring fingure hole and then the mass bias is set off to the right ever so slightly. This setup makes for the ball to roll a little e
