I am just getting back into bowling after a 10 year off peroid. I usea 2-finger release with about 450-500 revs. I averaged in the high 220s back in the day. I picked up this ball used (not resurfaced,loked like it had about 5 games on it!)st  I have had great luck using Columbia 300 balls with the superflex covertock in the past so I knew I wouldn't be dissapointed. The Wicked has good length with snap on the backend. Carry is very good,the ball seems to keep the pins low on the deck enhancing carry. Weight of the ball before drilling was 14.5 pounds. I have the ball drilled with the pin about 1.75 in right of my ring finger and the CG kicked out a cbout 2in to the right. Lane condiions were THS glow bowling after 3 games of league. Averaged 216 for 3 games. Overall,for $75.00 I feel like I got a good deal ,if you can fijnd one cheap go for it.

Pretty old ball but this is still one of my favorites. I wanted to branch out from all my Brunswick Zone's and Zone Pro's at the time and decided to give Columbia 300 a try...and not a bad deal for $109 drilled at the time.

The drilling ended up being the pin above the bridge, CG kicked out, and small hole on PAP. Wow...skid/snap power! Excellent ball for dry to medium lanes. Can't use on super dry lanes as this ball still has a bit of bite, and can't use on heavy oil lanes (will skid too long and breakpoint is almost near the pin deck).

Even all these years, this is my favorite to use on THS. Launches strong off the dry and crushes the pocket, or holds well in the middle/oily part of the lanes and still has a great snap and angle of entry.
