Comments about Columbia World Beater:

I am a high school bowler that carries a 215 average. I've been throwing Storm and Roto Grip equipment for the past four years, but my local pro shop recommended this ball. I thought "Why not give it a try." So I purchased this ball and threw a good 25 games with it and averaged around 180. This ball is completely worthless. DO NOT BUY THIS BALL.

Comments about Columbia World Beater:

I use this product daily. I bowl on the school bowling team and it hits ridiculously. It takes a couple games to get the feel so don't give up on it. I found my groove and it makes up for your mistakes tremendously. If you miss the pocket just a little bit it still comes back and it kills the pins. GREAT BALL!!!!!!!

Comments about Columbia World Beater:

This ball is awesome. I have used Columbia balls now for ten years plus and I am very impressed how well the company continously produce great product. Since I started using this ball my bolling series per night is in the 630's. On average my first 5 frames are strikes if a spare happen, it start striking all over again. My highest game is a 266 with a 174 average. I couldn't ask for more.

Comments about Columbia World Beater:

After being out of bowling for 10 years I thought this ball would be a good fit for me.This ball hits hard. I am having to learn to play more to the left,because it hooks more then any ball I have ever had.I shot 700 the 1st week out and threw 257 last week.Avg.is 211 after 18 games.

Comments about Columbia World Beater:

This ball is awesome. Been using Columbia balls now for the last several years and I am not disappointed. Picked this ball up at my local pro shop Monday. Used it in my first league play that same night and took some getting used to. Used it the might after, almost threw a 700 series. Striked the first 9 frames to throw a 277. No real effort at all. Just had to increase the speed a bit.Ball has tremendous back end. Breaks like no other.
Get It!

Comments about Columbia World Beater:

Went to a ball sponsored event. Threw the hammer taboo, aflection, the world beater and the ransom. The world beater was the most consistant ball. If you miss your mark a little it will not make you pay as bad as the others. VERY controlable GREAT for 10 pin spares ( righty) the other ballz had a hard left turn while this was a nice consistant arc. I pick up mine tomorrow can't wait!!!

Comments about Columbia World Beater:

I brought this ball to compliment my Anarchy. This balls does great on heavy oil and adjust well with the oil break down. I use to bowl 10 yrs ago with a 200 average. Been bowling now for almost 8 weeks and this ball has me up to a 184 already....first night of league bowling with the World Beater...207-225-212.....you want a ball that has some hook and impact in the pocket.....try the World Beater..!!!

Comments about Columbia World Beater:

I just picked this up from a local pro shop. It is advertised as medium oil, but tracks very well in heavy oil! It has a nice ark through the middle to the pocket and carries very well, but it will snap at the end at a slower speed. For righties, a 10 pin spare is difficult, use your spare ball.
