The weight block is positioned closest to the geometric center of the ball, producing a shorter skid, gradual hook and maximum roll. Ideal for the low-track player when the pines and back ends are oily.
| Vector Two The VECTOR SERIES represented a high-tech departure from traditional bowling ball design. Because of the unique positioning of the weight blocks within the famous Columbia core, the VECTOR ONE and the VECTOR TWO produce a marked increase in the number of revolutions completed as the ball travels toward the pins. The end result is a level of control, predictable action and overall striking force like no other bowling ball. In the VECTOR TWO the weight block is positioned closest to the geometric center of the ball, producing shorter skid, gradual hook and maximum roll. Ideal for the low-track player when the pines and the backends are oily. |

This is the most versatile ball i have. when sanded it reads the lane and has a strong continuous roll. when polished it has a nice skid/flip to push through the fronts. This ball has yet to over/under me, and never over reacts. I stacked the weights using a leverage drill pattern to utilize the centralized pancake weight block. It is also the perfect "teacher" ball. when i am in a rut i pull this out, if i can make the counter hole spin in a stationairy position i am throwning the ball correctly. and who said this was a light oil ball? it is awesome on oily outside shot or any other dwon and in pattern. if the scout is patterned after the this ball they did a poor job, the scout dosent hit or roll nearly as well as this ball.

This ball is a very good dry lane ball and it can be used for any bowler. Even though this ball is 15 years old it tracks out ok. When oil gets on the ball the ball tends to slide because the track doesn't move acrossed the ball. This ball is pretty resistant to oil and is a hard ball.This ball can also be a spare ball on oily lanes. This ball i wouldn't use in a synthetic conditions or in any other conditions other than a house oil shot. Overall this ball is a good light oil ball and good for the beginner and advanced bowler.

I have had two of these balls. The first one that I had, I drilled over the lable and it rolled over the finger holes when it flared (Yes it flares). The second one I drilled I drilled Boardwalk which you drill the finger holes on the side of the ball with the vector arrow pointing at your ring finger and the label on the side of the ball. you need to drill your axis hole wide and deep to get it to legal, but it is worth it. This ball rolls early and flares for a better back end. It is the only "old" ball that I can still use today. On dry conditions, or when the backends are bone dry, I pull out my polished vector 2 and crush em. It is my 5th ball in my bag when my Beast mica pearl is hooking too much (which dosn't happen a whole lot, but it has happened late in a tourney when they dont re-oil between shifts. Awesome ball.

The Columbia 300 Vortex Two is a great beginners ball. I have just started throwing the hook ball and this ball gave me a smooth transition from strait to hook. When you crank this ball the ball will snap on the backend but when the lanes are oily the ball looks like a spinning straight ball. When the lanes are dry I havn't found a good spot to throw at yet. You really have to pick the speed up to even come close to the pocket. I have put a burgendy scotch bright finish on it and this made a pretty good difference on playing on a little more oil.
