The Beast bowling ball by Columbia

[Misstersack]

I just got this ball too. Purple Reactive. But mine is cracking between the fingergrips :/

@Misstersack Sorry to hear that. Do you crank the ball? I never had that problem, but my new friend Steve has had a few of his balls crack between the fingers and he's a cranker.



[Misstersack]

@SlatebowlAllStars Not really. I do a no thumb release so It would be hard to be a cranker

@Misstersack

can anyone tell me what the specs of this ball are re: reactivity level/hook potential in terms of numbers? I got a used one off of craigslist that happened to fit my hand pretty well and I like how it behaves .... I am trying to get a nice new ball with similar specs as I have never had a new ball before and am unsure wtf all the numbers mean lol...thanks!

[Misstersack]

@GracusDO Depends on what "version" of The Beast you have. The one in this video is a pearl version, made to hook later and hit harder.

@Misstersack

it's the deep purple color and looks the same as the one in the video.... do the other versions have different appearances or is there another way I can figure out what version I have? Thanks for replying.

[Misstersack]

@GracusDO Some do. I have 3 of them, all different. I have a sold purple Beast with the Orange pin (round small circle) inside the Columbia 300 logo, a almost glittery looking one with the pin outside the logo and "LTD" stamped on the side. Lastly I own a red Beast with a yellow pin inside the logo, this one's know as the "Blood Beast". Most of the Beast's are identical in performance with the exception of the ones with "Ceramicore" below the Beast logo, but there are a few different ones.
