- Description: The Eruption features the same low RG, medium Differential Resurgence core that has been a part of the successful Burst and Outburst this past season and even more historically for Columbia 300, it was the engine of the extremely successful Resurgence. We’ve wrapped the Resurgence core in a new variation of the New Era veneer that was also popular on the Resurgence and Burst, it’s called New Era Skid Flip. We started with the same base material, however, the pearl additive we used causes the ball to skid further and recover harder down lane. While this cover is weaker in oil, it is quite aggressive when it sees friction and really compliments the low RG Resurgence core. We’re pouring New Era Skid Flip in a combination of two gorgeous colors, Electric Blue and Ultra Violet with bright green logos. The finishing preparation for the Eruption is a four stage process including our factory polish. We start with 800 Grit Abranet, followed by one stage of 1000 Abralon and a stage at 2000 Abralon. Leaving the ball at 2000 grit before polishing it makes the ball smooth enough to easily clear the front part of the lane and the texture under the polish helps it to not hydroplane through the hook spot and produce fantastic back end.

Tired of constantly moving? By Rob from Battle Creek MI
Reviewed on: 10/18/2011 Unverified Pros:Great Weight, Attractive Design Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I use this ball primaily during the 2nd and 3rd games of 2 different leagues. It's reacts very well in heavy oil as well. Speed is not your friend with this ball unless the back end is dry. Reaction from this ball is excellant. I had it drilled very strong.I have absolutly no complaints. I am not afraid to throw this ball no matter what the lanes are doing. Was this review helpful to you?

Love it! By scbowl from Illinois
Reviewed on: 2/14/2012 Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip, Great Weight Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I use this to bowl one league night a week. Perfect weight & feel for me. I had a 171 average before using this ball. Although it's only been two weeks, I've averaged 192 with the Columbia Eruption. I love the hook and pin action.

ERUPTION - Under rated ball By AnthonyB from Augusta, GA
Reviewed on: 2/15/2012 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design, Flawless Surface, Comfortable Grip, Great Weight Cons:Dry lanes need adjusting Best Uses:Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend This ball is a powerhouse. Pending on how you have it drilled for you the back end of the ball is excellent and it leaves room for error. On dry lanes you have to play at minimum 15 boards but once your lined up, you can still score! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

not what you really expect By normal bowler from upstate NY
Reviewed on: 5/15/2012 Unverified Pros:Comfortable Grip, Attractive Design, Great Weight, Flawless Surface Cons:Doesn't hook as well Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:No, I would not recommend this to a friend I like the feel of the ball when I throw it but It does'nt react like I was told. Tried it on oily lanes,but it doesn't come back like I would like. On dry lanes I would use it the most. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.
