    Drop this ball on the lane and I swear it knows where to find the pocket. Might even get there if you were to kick it down the lane, hmmmm, might have to try that. Excellent ball for medium oil, but can really be played on any lane conditions except very dry and flooded. If the lanes have heavy oil you'll have to put it away or not be afraid to move inside. Overall easy to control, just keep it clean and don't over throw it, the ball will do all the work. Another great product from Columbia<sc

    Good ball can be used in a number of diffrent types of shots and still be effective with good carry. The Wicked is a great skid/ snap ball that will punish the pins with awesome carry. This ball is works best on medium to heavy oil patterns if drilled correct. Shockingly supprised to find out it leaves very few corner pins(no more Mr. 7 Pin). Not the best ball for dry oil but will sometimes work with a big arc. Also if thrown to fast will leave some ulgh splits and other unthinkables. Overall this is a good ball for medium oil.

    Furn to watch it turn the corner. Very good carry on light hits. For my style the ball needed polishing to delay the break. Very good scoring ball once you find the line IT LIKES. Easy ball to hook - just roll it down the lane. Probably would be even better for bowler with faster than average ball speed. You will learn to walk at the left channel and use the entire lane if you want to pick up the 10 pin consistently. High pocket hits can leave some unusual leaves. This would be a very good ball for a stroker wanting to learn to bowl with a larger hook. All of the spares are easy due to strong finish except 10 pin.

    WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BALL TO ALMOST ANYONE. IF YOU HAVE A REV HEAVY HAND GET IT DRILLED A LITTLE MELO AND YOU WILL SCORE WELL. FIRST BALL OUT OF BAG ON MED OIL LANES DO TO MELO DRILLING. BEST SERIES WITH IT IS 242, 235, 236 = 713. NORMAL AVERAGE IS 185 TO 190 TWEENER. HAVE NOT THROWN MANY COLUMBIA'S BUT LIKING THE NEW STUFF. GOING TO GET THE THROTTLE AND GOING TO DRILL MODERATELY AND WILL PROVIDE REVIEW ONCE BOWLED ENOUGH GAMES. KEEP THROWN AND KEEP SCORE!!!! ALWAYS LOOKING FOR OTHER MOST LIKED BALLS AND LOVE TO HEAR YOUR OPINIONS.<s

    This was the first ball I threw that really flipped. Very nice down the lane. Smoother backend than the old wicked. Nice pin reaction. seldom leaves corner pins. Had it drilled with the pin in the middle of the two fingers with the cg an inch off the center. 14 lbs. and 3 inches pin top weight 2.88 . I would probably use the wicked when the lanes start breaking down. Pretty good ball for the it 's price. Would recommend it to beginners. Only thing remaining us how long this ball would last. Hope it doesnt die on me. Nothing more to say.

    This ball has a nice polish and hooks as much as I expected. I bought this ball after it being on the market for 3 days and I was a little worried it would hook harder that I am use to, however it is very easy to control. This ball is a must have for anyone who is serious about bowling. The price on this ball is really nice also. I often hit the 1-2 pocket because it overrotates, however I still get strikes from that pocket. Color of this ball is really cool. You will be the hit of the tournment.

    Took this ball straight out of the box. Had it drilled 3 3/8 standard for max leverage. I throw typical stroker. Right away I could tell that this ball meant business. If I threw it too far right, then it came back hard into the pocket. If I threw it right down the middle, it would sweep across and give me a Brooklyn. It does leave some 10 pins just because it comes in so perpendicular to the pocket. My pro shop wanted $179 drilled. So I went on Ebay, bought this one for $71 from "istrikealot" and had it drilled for $30. Can't beat that price!

    I had the ball drilled to slide longer cause I through slower then, and it slide like a dream. It slides long and nails the pocket HARD. I was playing an inside shot and when the ball would slide out it came back so hard it still slammed the pocket. Ball made me look good even when I screwed up :) By the end of the night 3 of the 5 of the guys on my team were throwing my ball just to watch it nail that pocket. I think the ball fits my style perfectly and is a reall treat to watch. Just remember to put it down in the head oil, cause if you loft it the ball will hook up early on you.<scrip
