SUCCESS
Had this ball for a little over a week now, already shot 260,264 and 267 on different occasions with it, and a 929 series last Friday night, got me 16 strikes in a row between 2 games.

Nice review mate and its good to see the ball is working out for you. Good luck with your futute games with this ball, i'm sure there is bigger and better things to come!
 
This is a late review, as this ball has been out for a while now. However, I felt I had to comment on it.

I got this ball off scooter, so I am the third to use it after him and G. The drilling as mentioned was originally stacked. I decided to put a different drilling on it, placing the pin above the ring finger and kicking the CG out about 45 degrees. No weight hole was required.

This ball was my first from Columbia300. It was something a little different for me, so I kept my mind open.

This ball is dead-set the best medium condition ball I have ever thrown. Period.

The way it cleared the heads, read the condition, and made its defined turn at the breakpoint astounded me. Usually with a new ball it takes a few games to get on top of it and fully understand its characteristics, but I found this ball just so easy to read. I am able to play areas that I had not been able to play in a long time, and as a result, I'm scoring probably about 15-20 pins higher per game when matching this ball up to conditions where I had been struggling to find a consistant powerful reaction.

I can even bowl this ball one handed and make it hook :D Yes that scared me too.

I'm now keen to get my hands on some more Columbia300 gear, and I am hoping to add the Action Max to my collection soon.

Thanks to Columbia300 for producing a fantastic release!
