4-BALL COLUMBIA SETUP
« on: July 21, 2003, 05:10:25 AM »
LOOKING FOR SOME SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO DRILL A 4-BALL COLUMBIA ARSENAL CONSISTING OF:

WILD-PIN 3.5, 3.2 OZ TOP
HYDE-PIN 2.5, 3.0 OZ TOP
WICKED B/S/P-PIN 3.5, 3.0 TOP
ICON 300-PIN 2.5, 2.5 TOP

I AM A CRANKER WITH MEDIUM SPEED AND FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE PLAYING A MEDIUM SWING SHOT.

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANX

DON'T USE ALL CAPS FIRST OF ALL...TOO HARD TO READ

Since your'e a cranker, a milder pin placement makes sense....so I would suggest a 5 inch pin on all balls.

For the Wild and Hyde I'd go with either a 5x5 or 5x4
For the Wicked and 300, I'd go for more of a 10:30 type drill for a slightly smoother overall reaction, say a 5x3

Do you have a favorite drill, or a ball you love ?? If so, what's the drill on that ?  That would be a drill to consider as well.

All of these balls are different, therefore the same or very similar drilling on all 'could' also be an option too...sit tight , some gurus will chime in! .....

First of all, what's a Wicked B/S/P?
No such thing in Columbia's lineup. There's a Wicked B/R/T and there's a Messenger Ti Pearl B/S/P.

If it's a Wicked B/R/T, in my opinion, it is too close to the Hyde in overall ability. One of those should have the cover modified or choose another ball.
