The C300 Chaos actually brings the name to the table. I drilled mine with a favorite pin-up layout of 60x5.5x40. This is a layout I like to use when trying to be straighter but have the amazing hard continuous motion through the pins still. Back to the chaos, this ball is super super smooth, it really allows you to strike when you have to open up the lane or even keep your angles closed. I don't see a lot of motion in the front part of the lane but a good amount in the back which when the energy transfers it goes through the pins like a truck. I recommend this ball to all players in leagues and or tournament, if you like to play straighter with closed angles this is the ball for you! Don't wait...go out and create some chaos today!!!!

Time to bring more chaos to the lanes!! The chaos black has been a ball out of my bag quite frequently as I like the shape of it. I drilled mine with the pin closer to my axis to get it to be smoother but still hit in the back. With my ball speed being higher it helps having a motion I can control in the back and this ball does that perfectly. The Chaos and the Chaos Black is currently the best 2 ball option to be in any bag right now as the versatility of them both is important and amazing.

CRAZY ANTICS:
So Just in enough time Columbia 300 has come out with your new years resolution fix of the CRAZY ANTICS, it will definitely fulfill you new years resolution of striking more. This bright colorful ball features the AR300 cover with the famous Hi-Dynamix core. This allows for the ball to have clean mid-lane motion with the powerful hook off the back and great continuation through the pins. This ball is smooth it handles league and tournament transitions well making moves very limited. The CRAZY ANTICS also is good it tough spots where you may find what they call "over under" reactions it will allow you to move either in or out and still carry the corners. Thanks for reading good luck and more importantly HAVE FUN!!

You want to shock the competition??
Well then.....lets talk about the all new Delirium Shock from Columbia 300. This ball offers a lot, starting from the smooth, predictable mid-lane and back end reaction allowing you to play multiple angles on the lane. This ball will match up perfectly on medium-heavy oil patterns. Being a power player I drilled mine 55x2.75x50 to try to allow for the ball to go a little longer down lane and explode with energy in the back. I find this ball great for tournament use, it can become an easy go to ball. Head to your local pro-shop today.

Columbia 300 has been providing the tools to do so many things, They have given the power to cause a Disruption, lay a Smackdown and go in for the Takedown, with some Crazy Antics. NOW they are looking to help you make a DISORDER!!. The Disorder features a mix of the Oath and Vow cover which was a bend-it pearl/bend-it solid to create bend-it Hybrid using the Resurgence core.(Never been a bad ball with that core)This new piece is a must have. This ball has an aggressive strong cover causing it to rev up early but clean through the front part of the lane with dynamite continuation through the pins. Very good for Medium to heavy Oil lane conditions. Also good for league play tournaments, but no matter what the more important thing is to #HaveFun #Letsbowl #TeamC300 #LoveTheLanes

COLUMBIA 300 HAS AN EMERGENCY AND NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION, BEWARE THE ORANGE CRUSH IS COMING OUT 11-5-13 AND WILL BE LOOKING FOR YOU!!
If you like the original Eruption or the Violent Eruption then don't hesitate because your going to love the Eruption Pro. A ball that cleans the heads so smoothly and stores so much energy to explode in the back throwing pins every which way.
I bowl 3 different leagues on 2 different surfaces and the amazing thing is i find the same reaction and also find that I am able to use the same angles. This ball also helps me open the lane a little bit going from game 2-3 transition it allows me to miss in a bit and still make a huge turn in the back.
Onto its contributes:
Core: This ball contains a modified resurgence core, however I did say modified and essentially they wanted to modify it so it has continuous stored energy and by doing that they lowered the differential and increased the RG.
Cover Stock: With this cover stock they tried something new, they used more Surface under the polish and when polishing this beast that used a lower speed to get it shiny but still have teeth under the polish to bite in the back.
The release date for this ball is 11-5-13 so make sure you stop by your local pro-shop and pre-order this ball! This is going to be a must have in your bag. Please feel free to ask any questions, i'd be more than willing to answer.

The impulse solid is must have. This upper-mid performance solid symmetrical ball is like no other. It's solid cover tracks thru any amount of oil in a predicable continuous motion without early to mid lane read. I find this ball perfect for all types of patterns. I also find this ball working the best on typical house patterns as it allows room to play different parts of the lane.

GET A JUKE! This ball is a great symmetrical pearl ball for any house shot. It gives me the ability to play straighter angles on medium to dry oil patterns and still give the carry I'm looking for. I used it in a sport shot league also on a short pattern and gave me the predictability I was looking for. Not to mention is looks great rolling down the lane with the eye catching green and blue color scheme. The bend-it cover stock helps make it the perfect mid-performance ball for anyone looking to expand their arsenal.

Plain and simple, CLICK ADD TO CART NOW! Don't miss out on this ball. The new Lit core gives me the strong hook potential that I look for when I bowl on heavy oil patterns and tournaments with high volume shots. The new cover stock but still infused with they hyper-shock technology gives this ball the continuous motion most people dream of. This ball hits the pins the same the 1st ball to the last ball, HARD!

Have You lit up the competition? If not you haven't thrown the lit pearl yet. The lit pearl for me is a smooth arching but very continuous ball. Allows me to play multiple angles on a variety of patterns.

Who's ready to get mad? I know i have been getting mad with my my Mad Antics lately. It shares the same core as the Crazy Antics, however the cover is a new hybrid blend (AR350) to be stronger to keep the same crazy and mad continuation through the pins. This ball works well for me on the typical house shots and on quite a bit of sport conditions. This ball is very smooth and clean which makes easier to read transitions allowing you to be one step ahead! So head to your local pro-shop or website today to pre-order yours today, this ball is a must have! WWRD 1/6/15 #Letsbowl #TeamC300 #HaveFun

I'm happy to let you in on this N'S@ne mind blowing news. Columbia 300 was Crazy but now they are just down right N'S@ne since the release of the N'S@ne Antics. The N'S@ne Antics is complimentary to the Crazy Antics, the difference is the N'S@ne has a solid cover and they have lowered the differential which makes the ball cleaner ans smoother through the front part of the lane. This means that the ball may allow you in some situations to play straighter and have the continuous curve you saw with the Crazy Antics. Click link below to check out my video via BuddiesProShop.com

Don't let the dull surface fool you this ball is easy to use on any part of the lane and easy to create multiple angles to pocket! Order Yours today!

Just when you think the Saber is a hard hitting beast Columbia 300 top it with the saber pearl. The saber pearl's continuous motion in the back is unbelievable. With the all new dynamix core It revs up and hooks more in the back. The saber pearl is very helpful when the fronts go away and you start to fight the over/under or wet/dry lane play. This will be an easy favorite for me this season. I also see a lot more hook out of this ball when I get straighter and roll the ball up the back. No such thing as not enough revs for this ball! #TeamEBI

The Savage is a monster. This is one of the smoothest yet most hooking ball in my arsenal. Very smooth for a solid, don't see any unpredictable change in direction early but goes through the pins like a truck. This will become a favorite for me. Ball can be used on any pattern length in my opinion. Don't miss out on becoming a savage bowler!

You want to live the savage life and strike more?? Well this is the ball for you, this is a very versatile ball whether you play the lanes straighter or like to curve them. However the carry with this ball is phenomenal. I drilled mine to go longer and curve more in the back and it does just that. This ball really brings it through the heavier oil patterns for me! I feel this is by far one of the cleanest asym balls as its super clean and doesn't burn up and quit when it sees early friction! This ball will be in my bag all the time!!

Severe Delirium is one of the strongest balls in my arsenal. This ball is a compliment to the delirium with a sanded surface that for me allows it to pick up sooner in the middle part of the lane and explode in the back through the pins. If you are looking for a stronger ball this is the ball for you!

The sideswipe is exactly was is reads. It sideswipes the pins and the competition. the sideswipe is great on medium oil patterns, it has a clean front end motion with lots of backend curve and continuation that's very predictable. This ball makes moves much easier. Sideswipe still contains the bend-it pearl coverstock which has been a monster.

Spoiler Alert! This ball is a must have. With the trusted bend-it cover stock and an all new core this ball is a double whammy for a mid-level price point ball. It gives you a strong arc without losing momentum at the heads and finishes thru the pins hard. This ball has become one of my top picks for my bag for each of the 4 leagues I bowl in different houses. It works well everywhere and on just about everything and for the mid-level price point you get a high-level performing ball. Don't miss out on this deal and grab one from your local pro-shop today!

Are you spoiled? Well now you can be the spoiler alert is exactly what you'd expect, clears the front part of the lane like a smooth low end ball but reads and come off the back and goes through the pins like a high end ball. I personally hit mine with a soft 4000 abralon pad to get it to smooth out as it curved a lot in the back. Today is the day head to your local pro shop and pick one up! #TeamEBI #SpoilerAlert

Tired of not carrying? Wanting that little extra motion in the back?? Well your in luck, the swerve FX is the ball to put in your bag. With the all new HYPERSHOCK technology this ball is a monster. The all new HYPERSHOCK technology is and enhanced material added for the ball to power through the pins and keep a strong continuous motion.

I used a layout of 70x4.25x30 which allows me start straighter and venture into the middle part of the lane but not lose the reaction down lane, I find this ball very smooth and continuous.
I also use power house products to keep my equipment clean and fresh. Head to your local pro-shop and order yours today.

Swerve GT just sounds awesome, but it goes a lot farther than that. The Swerve GT is a hybrid with a 500-2000 abralon finish makes for a strong cover. I like this ball on the heavier oil patterns as it allows me to get straighter and not have much worry about recovery. Make sure your swerving your way into the winners circle the swerve Gt.

Columbia 300 has created this ball to do exactly as to what is says, help you takedown the competition. This ball shares the Smackdown core
(Medium RG High Differential) but has the Bring-It pearl cover. So essentially this ball has great roll and continuation having surface or shine. However with the shine you may see a little more length depending on the pattern. This ball will be great for league nights, tournaments or even FUN nights out. Thanks for reading good luck and more importantly HAVE FUN!

The Throwdown, is a great compliment to the Smackdown and Takedown however C300 has made a few adjustments. Still using the "Bring-it" cover that was great in prior rocks they decided to polish the Throwdown giving it more length and same continuation. Essentially this would make it easier so it would be more controllable and less moves to be made on the lanes. This is a new personal favorite for me as I can almost use this anywhere. If you don't have one of these in your bag head to your local pro shop and get one today.
