Freeze. An oldie, but a goodie. This ball contains a modified version of the Messenger core - arguably the most successful core in Columbia 300 history - wrapped in the NE2 shell which was featured on last year?s Momentum. A 2-piece core paired with a high performance cover; you asked for it, we served it? FROZEN.

Comments about Columbia Freeze Scarlet/Black:

I was in need for a new ball. I am a 170-175 average bowler. I went to the Pro shop and this ball was highly suggested. I had the ball drilled but the span was a little long. The first night I used it I was around 5-7 pins under average. I took it back had the span plugged and redrilled for the following week. 1st game 197, 2nd game 234 the 3rd game I got cocky and ended up with 3 splits and 3 single pin misses for a grand total of 127...smh the 1st 2 games it was the ball the 3rd game was all me.

I started bowling back in the fall of 2011 with my girlfriend. havent touched a ball in 20 years.started out using the local lanes junk. bought my freeze 2 months agone and had it drilled by the local pro. told him what I wanted it to do. Have never been happier. strong hook in the backend. puts all the pins in the bucket

Comments about Columbia Freeze Scarlet/Black:

I really like the feel and the grip. Good for light oil and spares. If you have a lot of oil i would not recommend using it. Good starter ball to learn how to hook and throw properly.

Well I got this ball as a 10lb. First ball I ever had. Bowled my first 200 game with this ball. It's amazing! Planning to increase the weight to 15lbs.

Comments about Columbia Freeze Scarlet/Black:

Outstanding ball. My first game with this ball was a 197 and since getting used to throwing it I have raised my avg almost 30 pins. The ball throws very consistant and reacts well on the lanes I bowl on. For the price of the ball I would recommend this for all bowlers.

Wanted something to go longer and snap harder. Got it. But had to put in side hole because it snapped too much. Would recommend it.

Comments about Columbia Freeze Scarlet/Black:

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

Comments about Columbia Freeze Scarlet/Black:

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.

Comments about Columbia Freeze Scarlet/Black:

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+

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery time = Fantastic, great service, Good distance of pin to C.G. good ball for a great price.

Comments about Columbia Freeze Scarlet/Black:

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!!!

Comments about Columbia Freeze Scarlet/Black:

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.

Comments about Columbia Freeze Scarlet/Black:

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...

Comments about Columbia Freeze Scarlet/Black:

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!
