Located in: Bowling, Bowling Balls

Bend-It Reactive is a formulation that was built to handle heavy to medium amounts of oil. Bend-It has a great amount of surface friction built into the shell and is finished with an aggressive finish in order to enhance the Omen?s footprint on the lane. Don?t let the pearl fool you, Bend-It was made to grab the lane. The Capsule core was designed to provide great performance and versatility while also being very simple. A simple symmetric shape with great performance characteristics was chosen in order to be very driller and bowler friendly. The low RG Capsule revs up early and the high Differential helps create a large amount of flare for great continuation in the backend. The new core, cover and finish process for the Omen makes it one of the best choices in the Columbia 300 lineup for heavier oil conditions. Players with lower rev rates and/or higher speeds will also enjoy the amount of hook the Omen creates.

Comments about Columbia Omen:

This ball has introduced a considerable amount of control to my overly aggressive hooking. It grabs the lanes well with 4000 grit finish (stock) and the balanced symmetrical core does not create any last minute "chaos" in the drive. A pin buster at 15-16lbs….and a simple opening of my wrist it transforms into a decent "spare" ball as well. It wants to curve though…so straight rollers may want to leave this one alone.

Comments about Columbia Omen:

When I used my magic touch it did not have much pop towards the end of lane. With the Omen I moved five boards left and I threw it faster and it hit the pocket with a purpose. It is a smooth roll and has a nice rotation. The best ball I ever bought.
