Columbia Freeze
Columbia 300 Freeze Review - The Bowling Ball Layout was a standard label leverage drilling or what I call an arc ball or 90-degree layout, which is pin 4.5 from your axis and the cg angled toward your thumbhole for a smooth transition ball. The lane conditions were a 39 ft house pattern on Brunswick’s pro-anvilane synthetic lane surface. The bowler style was a straighter 250-rev rate bowler and 16 mph ball speed. Bowling ball surface was the out of box. In addition, there are three freeze colors to choose from, we used the scarlet freeze; In addition, all freeze balls have the messenger type core with a newer coverstock that was used on the momentum last year. Test result we tried to simulate every thing that the average league bowler would face from week to week in this test to give you the best review possible. The Columbia Freeze performance was semi long skid with a smooth transition, in the backend motion we did get the ball to set up which I really enjoy. In addition, if we missed right the ball would recover and retain its energy at the pins. We seem to find a great comfort zone in the track area with this ball. In addition, the freeze seemed to work well on medium-to-medium heavy lanes the best. This is not a heavy hooking ball, but a more medium smooth arcing motion ball with good control and pin carry. I find it to be a good ball for the price.
