That's right, he's coming back.

Piranha/C Jade Retro

slated for sometime in November


btw..the Beast Master is an excellent ball that no one ever mentions.  Very strong arcing and hard hitting.

Columbia rep that came by the pro shop I work in.  He said it will probaly release late fall/winter but before the year is out so November is the most probale date according to him.  He was the same guy that told me that they were releasing the orange piranha again 4 months before it came out so its credible.

Best news I've heard in a while - I always wanted one of these.  I had 2 of the Blue ones and they were great, but never had the extra money to get a Jade (I was a poor college kid, give me a break)  


I shot my only 300 with a Blue Piranha/C.  Ahh, the memories..

If Columbia is going to rerelease the Jade, I am there!

I had the blue, really liked that ball. Never had the Jade...will soon I guess though! Wonder if they will do any changes to it, like they did with the coverstock of the orange one.

Yes...I name my bowling balls...and as you can see those names are real original...so if you have any suggestions on what a better name would be, please let me know!

Florida State will be back...as soon as Chris Rix learns how to throw a spiral, use an alarm clock, and hang on to the ball...but they will be back.

DP3, will it be the exact same core? Probably a slightly stronger coverstock though.

Great news, probably one of the best 5 balls, if not on top of that list ever made.

My black/caramel/silver White Dot's name is "Smokin' Mocha", and I call my Trauma "Stormy"  With the swirl markings on both balls, they look like satellite weather maps.

Piranha/C Jade Retro coming back ?
WHAT FOR????
I think it was meaningless, just for the company, they can earn more and more money!!!!!!!!!!!
Just take a look at the "Piranha Retro", only the colour and the logo was the same as the old one. OK, you can say we can't use the same coverstock almost ten years ago, i agree with this!!!! BUT, why don't they use the same core in the original one, just use a core like using in the "GAME PERAL"?????????
