Mine is awesome.....I use it as a dryer lane ball...but i am a fairly quick lefty with not much hand....this ball i can throw straight up the boards and has a very predictable roll...fairly heavy roll too.....the drilling on it is only a label drilling too....pin beside the ring finger and the cg under the palm
Drilled one for a No Thumber a few weeks back and he loves it...gives him all the hook he can handle plus some..
Definately a ball to have in your arsenal...especially when everything seems to be hooking a little too hard...

This is one i did about 6 weeks ago when i got mine.
JINX
Coverstock: Big Flip Reactive
Core: Single Density Stair Step
OOB Finish: 2000 Degree Polish
Drilling: Pin above ring finger with the cg in the middle of the span
When i bought this ball i had no pearl balls in my bag so i chose the new JINX to fill the gap and WOW! I wanted the ball to get down the lane and not move too much or too hard and thats exactly what it does. This Teal/Blue/Silver gem gets through the heads superbly and retains its energy in the midlane. Once this ball exits the oil pattern..............LOOK OUT! The Jinx makes a smooth predictable move into the pocket. The carry that this ball delivers is insane. Say goodbye to corner pins because when this baby hits flush, they dont stand. Go a little light, messengers are flying EVERYWHERE!
Overall Impression: 9.5/10
Thanks goes out to Columbia 300 for releasing this great ball and thanks also to Patrick Birtig at AMF Moorabbin for laying out and drilling this beast.

Hypercell = Hyperhook!
Ball: Columbia JINX
Drilling: 4 x2 , balance hole at 5 1/2" side weight 0
Expectations: This ball fits in above a scout, a low price reactive ball designed for medium to dry conditions. The JINX is smoother at the breakpoint than the High JINX. I havent drilled a weaker ball like this in a while (most lefties dont have to
)
Result: Second game at Milton whilst subbing 300! This ball was exactley what I had guessed, covered only a few boards but was very predictable at the breakpoint. I coudlnt get this ball to flip for the life of me, it was just smooth....
I can't see myself using this ball much as I tend to use stronger equipment but it was a pleasant surprise and no doubt would get a run in North Queensland or Darwin It's a great ball and for the higher rotation players this is almost a must, a great ball for the drier heads and a good way of controlling the breakpoint. Strictly for medium to dry conditions only!
It's now in the hands on Ronald V from NT, apparently the JINX is happier with his new owner than it was with me.
A great ball for a beginner bowler too looking to make the transition from plastic or scout to a stronger reactive. Hope this helps

Many Thanks to all for their help with the reviews of this ball.
Hoping to start my daughter hook bowling with this ball, she is a right hand low rev stroker like myself so hopefully it will be a good replacement for her old Shadow/R wich we got second hand.
She really likes the look of the ball as well.
I will be seeing Patrick Birtig about this ball soon.
Many thanks
