columbia 300 jazz

[wes909]

have any of you ever used a Columbia 300 jazz ,. if so what are your opinions on it

[Stormed1]

It's a good ball. Basically it's Columbia's answer to the Ebonte Tornado,Brunswick Power Groove and Storm's Tropical. It is stronger than most expect due to it having a stronger cover than expected

[wes909]

you mean except or expect typo? wait nvm

[wes909]

have they stopt making them because almost all of them are on closeout

[Stormed1]

I'll have to check with my distributer. Many times is just because they discontinued one color to replace with another.

[Strike Domination]

Actually the Scout is supposed to be like the Tornadoes isn't it? I would rate the Tropicals and Jazz's together though.

[Stormed1]

The Scout that is available since the Ebonite buyout of Columbia has just a single pancake weightblock so it's a step down. The Jazz line replaced the scout line

[wes909]

well i have found 1 on ebay new in box t for really cheap its my weight so i think ima get it

[Stormed1]

You can't go wrong with it especially if you get it at a good price. Just keep in mind to add the cost of drilling to what you pay for it to be sure it's a "good price" when done

[wes909]

well the balls only 40 $ plus 20 shiping

[Strike Domination]

How much would it cost to get it drilled? My guess is that it costs $130-$150 at the shop, the savings you get by buying it online might not be enough to warrant doing so. If it's $50 drilling you could save $20-$40, but the benefit of buying through the shop could include free surface adjustments/resurfaces to a certain point and mostly if something is defective with the ball, you probably won't get it warrantied.

[wes909]

i think drilling is 40 ... ima call and make sure

[Stormed1]

well the're $80.00 with free shipping at bowling.com so at $60.00 shipped is'nt a bad price. but it would still depend on the total cost to drill with grips etc. included vs what the shop would charge you if they got it

[WAC4504]

If it were me I would check with my pro shop, down here they run 60-70 drilled. Hate to see you spend moor than you need to. good luck and good bowling Bill

[wes909]

hahahahahahahahah bowled a few games with the guy that runs the local pro shop tonight and he is selling me the jazz for just the price of the slug and finger tip grips , also i now have permission to use any of the balls that are in the pro shop he also helped me bowl 20 pins higher than usual!

[Strike Domination]

Good news, maybe he could help you to becoming a better bowler altogether.
