Best Columbia since Green Messenger By The Coooach from Vallejo,CA
Reviewed on: 5/25/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great Weight, Attractive Design, Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I have been using Columbia balls exclusively for 25 years. This ball reacts better than any ball I've used since my beloved Green Messenger. With just a little hand, the ball keeps turning and and continues to drive with little deflection through the pin deck. This ball is a medium rev bowlers dream. It has allowed me to continue to compete with the hig-rev bowlers. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Bowling pins biggest fear By Marksman from Wilmington, nc
Reviewed on: 1/15/2010 Unverified Pros:Attractive Design, Great Weight, Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface Best Uses:Upgrade, Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Columbia Bedlam is very comfortable in hand, it rolls evenly on any lane conditions. Not a very hard snap in the backend, very smooth. Carries down lane further. Very good pin reaction. I myself 10 board and let it drift out to the 7 board on wood lanes and 7 board out to the 4 board on synthetic lanes. Will buy again. Was this review helpful to you?
