Columbia 300 Street Rally Bowling Ball Review

The Street Rally is the latest high-performance ball from Columbia 300.

Cranker had the best reaction out of our testers on the medium oil pattern with the Street Rally. Its glossy pearl cover retained a lot of energy and made a very strong move at the end of the pattern. He found this ball to provide more traction in the oil than the Super Cuda PowerCOR Pearl and the Ricochet Return. He was able to start farther left with the Street Rally, and he had a bit more room for error at the breakpoint.

The ball was very strong downlane, avoiding any hang or carrydown later in the session. Toward the end, he needed to start increasing his speed in addition to moving left to keep striking with the Street Rally.

Cranker also had the best reaction out of our three bowlers with the Street Rally on the fresh heavy oil pattern. This ball dug into the oil more than the Super Cuda PowerCOR Pearl. Even compared to previous shiny asymmetrical balls like the Atlas Hybrid and the
