I have to post a little something about this ball, for being a cheap little entry level type ball it's really quite impressive. I originally drilled it just to shoot my spares with but I find myself throwing it regularly on everything. It saved my butt few days ago in league, couldn't carry the corners with anything else in my bag, pull it out the 3rd game and shoot 299, if I didn't throw it 42mph on the 12th I could racked up my 4th honor score with Columbia balls this season. It may look like a house ball but it's no joke, it's got Super-Flex on it, needs a little friction to get around the corner but I can throw it on fresh mediums all day long.

IMO Columbia has hands down the best balls on the market right now, from the Jazz to the Resurgence, they're all phenomenal.

Columbia bowls the world over

This ball is great on a THS in the track area....and it is my go to ball on the Cheetah and the Viper when the condition breaks down.  Great ball for the price~

Joe Jr...is 299 an honor score?

By the way...I've seen you throw that pill!  You looked good and I doubt even with your free armswing you could have been over 27 mph!!

OK, I admit, after reading this post a month ago plus the fact I was looking for a "weaker" ball to compliment my Rival, I became curious about the Jazz.  I even started another thread asking about just how strong/weak this ball actually is.  Being convinced by what I had read, I bought a Jazz for when the lanes start to dry up a bit and the Rival was no longer the ball to use on a second shift league.

Now, after about three or so weeks of rolling this ball, I have to agree that this ball is a HUGE bang for the buck!!!  I find myself using this ball quite a bit more than I expected, often on a freshly oiled shot for a first shift league...definitely a pleasant surprise!

Two thumbs up for the Jazz!!!
