Columbia 300 WOW Bowling Ball

(28 reviews) Write a Review

In a word....Wow! Enough said when you experience the performance of the newest and strongest addition to the Flipside family. You'll find the Wow! will take quite a liking to heavy oil and has plenty left for an aggressive Flipside reaction on the backend. It all starts with the new UFO particle, which produces Ultimate Friction in Oil - particle technology that's truly out of this world. Combine this with a medium RG core that creates 4-5" of track flare, and you can leave your spare ball in the bag. The Wow! It'll make your hair stand up and pins fall down.

    Out of the box the ball hits like a ton. This ball outperforms the Rock On by a mile. With the matte finish the ball breaks early enough to avoid leaving an over abundance of ten pins. As a stroker I had the ball drilled to maximum hook with some reservations. My fear of too much break was unfounded. The ball on oil when playing straight up and in works great. As the lanes dry out I'm able to move inside and swing it out and still have plenty left on the backend. This ball is adaptable to any lane condition other than dry.

    drilled this ball a few weeks ago bowled a 258 the first night i used it, it hooks like crazy but it dose not overreact, it 's a hard consistent hook , i throw the ball a little hard and it still comes back when i miss to the right. it's the hardest hitting ball i have had ever had. Works best when thrown long and hard. Works great inside. Don't bother to use it for the ten pin. I use a hard polished white dot for them. Hooks out of the house out of the box, so practice a few games before you use it in league play. another great ball from columbia

    I just punched out this ball about a week ago, and we stacked it 3 3/8 leverage. This ball is tremendous on oil. It makes a huge turn and destroys the pins. It's a little forgiving too. as I missed out a couple times and it came roaring back!! Throw it in with the Wild and the Wicked and you've got a great three ball package I'm thinking... A word to the wise, don't throw the ball on dry.. It's instant burn to say the least, and that's where you could bring out the other balls in the Flipside line if you have them.
