    So I think I've narrowed it down and I'm leaning towards the Columbia 300 freeze. It looks sweet and has a ton of good reviews on this site and others. But I'm also interested in the blue hammer and the tropical breeze. I haven't made it to the alley yet but I'm going tomorrow and I'm going to see what the shop has to offer and compare the pricing against buying online.

    Freeze and breeze are both good choices. Breeze has a scent on it though (free air freshened for the car).

    I'm a pretty big fan so far. I probably would have paid less buying the ball online but it was pretty nice to just be there and see the ball in person, have it drilled, and then I got to throw 2 games with it to make sure the drilling was good for me.

    The first game was awful to be honest but I'm going from throwing a house ball straight to throwing a finger tip grip ball with a hook. But once I was able to start hitting the mark and letting the ball do the work I improved. I shot a 140 my second game. My current league average is a 128 so I was pretty pleased with my second game with the ball. I think with more practice and once I'm used to throwing the hook I'll improve. I did go with 15lbs and it feels perfect.

    It is pink as all hell but I don't mind the color at all I think it's pretty sweet looking to be honest.

    Oh and I forgot to mention. Found out that my old 12lb ebonite gyro pretty much fits my fiance's hand perfectly so she got a new ball today too well new to her. I wish I could post a photo of my ball but the site isn't really letting me do that. So here's a link...http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7406/1...4cedfdc9_m.jpg

    I do really like the ball. Didn't fare so well in leagues Friday but I blame this on consistency. I'm learning to throw a hook and sometimes I don't consistently hit my mark. But I did bowl a 233 with it Sunday practicing which is almost 100 pins over my average. So I'll take that as progress.
