This ball has a lot of hook power. I have used this ball a lot and I am really impressed with it performance.
It has worked really good on the longer patterns for me but also on the short/drier patterns it has worked out really nice with a hook/set motion.
300 and 1900 x 2 with this ball and more to come… get one yourself!!

The Ransom does exactly as you would expect from a ball with the Full Swing core and a cover called Super Tilt. It gets easy length and drives on the back end. What I really like is the way it reads the mid lane and sets up for the hard arcing backend. I like this ball during the transition phase because it reads the mid well enough to be controllable on the back end but still stores enough energy to drive through the pocket. The hit and carry was above average.

The new Ransom from Columbia 300 provides a lot of lenght for drier lane conditions.
It’s a very versatile ball and I can make it do a lot of different things with my hand. By changing my handposition I can make it roll or make it really snap in the back.
It also reacts very well with slower speeds as it will still clear the front, but not roll out on the back.
The Ransom is going to be best suited for broken-down or drier medium conditions, where you need to get it through the fronts or really get it back from a spot down lane. It will give a similar reaction as the weaker balls, but with a stronger core that still ensures the hitting power of the high performance balls.
With surface changes I think The Ransom will also be able to handle some oil and be suitable for heavier oil patterns or fresh conditions.
All in all a shiny medium ball that will get the job done when there’s friction. It will get through the fronts and flip back to the pocket on the backend without losing energy in the pins.

My Outburst is with a very long pin. I drilled it with the double thump drilling, because I really liked that drilling on my playmaker. The Outburst is a very controllable ball which is very versatile. It’s probably a ball that I will use on medium lanes with flat patterns.
The Outburst is for those who don’t have a lot of balls in the bag, and need something that will work on different surfaces and patterns. The Outburst for me is a medium to strong ball.

The Outburst is one of the most hooking balls I have used for quite some time. I really like how it reads the mid lave but still manages to keep going on the back end. Even though it’s very strong it’s still controllable. It reacts very well to release adjustments so I can use it on multiple angles. All in all a very exiting release from C300
