XXXXX right out of the box By C smoove from Mount Pocono, Pa.
Reviewed on: 5/18/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great Weight, Attractive Design, Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface Best Uses:Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Im a 189 average league bowler. The was a upgrade from my ebonite boom after my first ever league season. Right out of the box, had the ball drilled to company specs and bowled a 203, 212 & 215 was my first clean game with this ball. All I have to do is roll this ball up the 13-14 board and it finds the pocket every single time. AMAZING!!! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

First Ball By LandRoverDriver from New Castle, PA
Reviewed on: 4/12/2010 Unverified Pros:Comfortable Grip Describe Yourself:Beginner Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I am a right handed adult beginner who uses this ball at the local bowling alley. I purchased a 15 Lb. FREEZE at my local pro shop whom which drilled it for me and wow! It is all up to me now. When I hit my mark it hooks left into the pocket. I have even been off my mark and it will still hook left. It makes me look forward to becoming a avid bowler. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Great buy over others of similar price! By GChambers from Tampa, FL
Reviewed on: 7/8/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design, Great Weight, Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I love this ball; I threw it a few times without drilling it, and nailed 30 points average above my score. That says a LOT. When it hits, it sends the pins sliding underneath knocking all of them around down; threw a turkey without drilled holes! First personal ball- Friend bought a RotoGrip Riot @ same time, and I like this one better. Worth $130+ Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Talk about a hook By Striker Steve from Chicago, IL
Reviewed on: 1/21/2011 Unverified Pros:Lots of backendflip Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I was bowling in a house where the lanes would break down very quickly. I was looking for a ball that would go longer since the lanes tended to dry out after the first game. This ball definitely goes a lot longer and flips at the back end. I have always thrown a big hook, but this added about 5 more boards. It was a little hard to get used to but after throwing 9 games with it, I can finally figure it out. This added about 10 pins to my average. I have never strayed from Columbia and this is one of the reasons why. The new equipment always seems to amaze me Was this review helpful to you?

I would buy this product again and again By Manbeast from Brooklyn, NY
Reviewed on: 4/5/2010 Unverified Pros:Attractive Design, Great Weight, Comfortable Grip Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I took 7 years off from Bowling and just recently joined again. I purchased the Freeze because I needed a new ball and it seemed like the best choice in the pro shop. When I left Bowling i carried a 214 average. After joining again with the Freeze I have been able to carry a 195 average and I have just begun. The Freeze is awesome and it looks great going down the lane... Was this review helpful to you?

A GREAT GREAT BALL By Q from Orlando
Reviewed on: 8/23/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface, Attractive Design, Great Weight Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:Casual Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Okay first off this ball takes alot of getting used to if your upgrading from a plastic ball. Cause boy does it hook!!!!! But honestly if you hit your mark it heads straight to the pocket CONSISTANTLY, or as consistant as you throw it :) but def. an upgrade from your plastic ball. after 2 games of getting used to it i bowled a 222. and my avg is around 160 with a house ball. I recommend. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

wow By Gunggung from Oak Park,mi
Reviewed on: 3/7/2010 Verified Reviewer Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Got the wife this ball as a new ball for the league year. So far, for herself, she has out shot me, by as much as 50 pins. She is nothing fancy, but this ball flat out hooks like I cant believe. I have seen her miss on accident to the far right, and that ball flat out comes back into the pocket. I have almost thought of getting one for myself..I clean that ball, 'cause she doesnt, and wow!
