The Professional
« on: March 31, 2005, 05:02:11 AM »
Anyone got any information on this new Columbia release?  In my center's pro shop, but no info if it's particle, reactive, or weight block type.  Even the Columbia tech guy didn't have any info about it when we called.

Well what can I say?  I'm a youth, and I would have no problem going up against any of our regional pros in the area.  in fact in all honestly I believe that only 3 or 4 people in the state are better than me.  I don't want to sound cocky, But I can't wait, cause in a couple years I'll be up there with them and I don't plan on losing too often.  so hey Big-Bad, maybe we'll see each other in the future at some tournament.  from the sounds of it your better than me, but i'd still enjoy the game,  plus I got 1 maybe 2 more years before i come out of juniors.  thats plenty of time to improve my game.

Me: Ohhh. Nevermind.

Yeah Mason it's an adult league.

Jouster, no one wants to hear how good you are. Just show us with numbers.

LoL, I just love how Mr. Talent was completely trying to slam Columbia equipment by saying his Brunswick stuff beats it down repeatedly, then he gets called out by a Columbia staffer and backs down and has suddenly become a "victim" of the forum posters.  Perhaps you will learn with time and a little maturity that its the person throwing the ball, not the logo on the ball, and maybe next time you wont be so quick to spout off at the mouth.  Had you merely wanted "better competition", you could've just posted that you would like to bowl with Jon B sometime, instead you chose to take a stab at Columbia players in general:  Bad Idea.

Our pro shop got our initial order of 16 today.  The ball looks absolutely fantastic on the lanes.  Saw it rolling on old pba pattern A as well as a fresh house shot.  I think its safe for me to say its been a couple of years since i've seen something bring it this hard at the breakpoint.  Ball was drilled 5 inch Pin to PAP, with a 45 degree shift on the cg.  An extra hole 1 inch past the VAL, guy has average revrate, slightly higher than average ball speed and the thing just refused to NOT corner.  Excellent piece, and look forward to many more "pro-shop" releases.

Sounds a lot like an Xception or a Shock and Awe.

I'd say thats a fair surmise.  The clean look through the fronts like the xception with the release at the break point of the S&A.

Shot 264-279-258   801 two Mondays ago with my Professional. Definitely allowed me to get inside and swing it with some serious bounce on the backend. Thanks Columbia.....

This ball is pretty much a big bully pearlized.
It has the same weightblock as the big bully.
Just different coverstock..
