Old News but Good News, Columbia Freeze
« on: April 09, 2014, 09:33:11 PM »
If I have 3 of these I might have 4!  At least 2 undrilled.

Recently I took my Pin up Freeze 4 3/4 pin to Pap(1.5 inch pin to Vertical Axis  Line).
and lightly scuffed it with 3000 Abralon.

Oh my.  What a ball for a house wet dry!

I now instead of playing our harsh wet dry oil line on the 8/9 splice am now swinging 8 or 9 at the arrows to 2 to 8 and have area, control, and lots of hit!  I've coupled this with some loft(a new technique for me), and absolutely am loving this ball, it's strong coverstock and the hit!

A while back I pointed a slick 43 foot flat shot 3 to 8 with this high pin up ball and owned it compared to the other lefties trying to find a line!

Regards,

PS this one is the rare Pink Black one which to my eye is more like a Hybrid than the others I have seen that look like pearls.
PPS I will test this theory soon with a Green Blue one.

I've had two green orange freezes. With a touch of friction they kill. U can open up the lane with area and carry. One is a 2 inch pin to pap and the other a 5.5. Different looks on the lane but both very effective once the lanes begin to transition. Neither worked well for me on fresh. A bit over under even with surface.

One of the best bang for the buck balls in bowling.

Why does everyone laugh when I bowl?

Since I've scuffed mine with a 3000 pad it has smoothed out and let me swing it a bit it has been very nice.  I prefer the swing over straight down the oil line, more area!

Reacting quite strongly the first two games, losing hit as it gets sloggy downlane!

I prefer the area the Jet Black Taboo gives me later in the set allowing me to go slightly deeper and still have more hit when soggy downlane!

This is a powerful inexpensive ball and quite good looking my pink and black!  I have also seen this high pin up ball kill (in box condition) a long flat 43 foot shot that I pointed up 6.

It was the only ball that was waiting(little midlane) and providing the hit needed to outperform a bunch of other bowlers high end stuff.  Pointing can be great!  Great hard moving coverstock!

I have two green blue ones I will use a different drilling to get different rolls out of them!

Imressive inexpensive orb.  A top flight pro has seen this in my hands and said.  "Don't practice with that. Save it and use for years!"

ever since they released the freezes i said they have been very underrated. i had one of the red/black ones and kept it at 4000 and that thing worked on everything once the lanes transitioned. mine was actually a lot smoother than everyone elses that i saw even with the 5 1/2 pin up layout i had on it. im probably going to drill another for the fall leagues. sadly another ball which sales suffered from not having a lightning bolt on the side.
