The other day my driller and I was talking about different bowling balls. And it was brought up the columbia beast. I have to agree this ball was very popular. Many  bowlers had this ball back then. I have to say this is the best ball Columbia came out in history of the company. Let me know what you think. And what ball do you think is the best ever produce by any company ?

Yellow Dot for Plastic
Black U-Dot for Urethane
Cuda-C For Early Resin Days
Modern ?

I loved the Beast had 4 solids and 2 pearls. The most versatile balls I have ever thrown.

Brunswick - Teal Rhino
Hammer- The original Blue Hammer
Columbia - U Dot or Blue Dot
Just my opinion

No love for the Power Torq or the Messenger?

Wow.

Two of my all time faves.

on edit, thought this was a Columbia300 discussion.

There have been many transitions throughout bowling history.  The evolution of coverstocks being the most important.  I know, I know.  Without the proper condition, even the most advanced coverstock will not perform.  Lest we not forget that short oil lane conditions were mandated because of the aggressive coverstocks that companies were wrapping on balls.

For that reason, the Yellow Dot, Angle/Hammer, and Excalibur need to be among a "best" list because the path they created for the game's future.  Good or bad.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —

Blue Hammer, Black Angle, Yellow Dot, LT 48, Ti Messenger, Inferno, U Dots, Triton Heat.

Just some that I think should be included in the battle for best ball of all time.
