- Columbia 300 continues bringing back legacy names into the line with brand new performance technology! The Piranha PowerCOR is one of rare bowling balls in any of the 7 brands that has HK22 Solid with the ERT+! Let's see how this new release does from multiple angles!
With the help of SPECTO data, it'll help tell the story about reaction shape, overall hook and continuation through the pins. Here are the SPECTO data points used and definition of each term:
Launch Speed - Speed measured off the hand.
Entry Speed - Speed measured at the pins. (What you'd see on your home center MPH screens)
Rev Rate - Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
Launch Angle - The angle the ball traveled the first 10 feet.
Break Point Position - Board at which the ball was at its outermost position.
Total Hook - Total number of boards the ball crosses on the way to the pins.
Hook Power - Number of boards the ball hooked based on the True Breakpoint.
Entry Angle - The angle of the ball between 51 and 55 feet.
Impact Angle - The angle of the ball between 57 and 59.5 feet.
Pin Deck Exit - Ball position at the end of the pin deck.

This is a Must have ball, it's an Absolute go to
Ball looks GREAT!! JUST ORDERED CAN'T WAIT! Love the Videos
I bought this ball this week and after adjusting around with hand positions and feet position on the approach, this ball just works. I'm impressed. Back in the old days when columbia came out with the yellow dot, it took awhile before everybody realized how good it was, eveyone had to have one. This ball will be the same.
The Bleeder, Cuda, and Piranha were the only three bowling balls from C300 I ever liked. I am wondering if Track will make a new "Shark" at some point.
Those plus the "Danger Zone" were my arsenal as a teen in the 90s.
Speed dominant bowlers should love this ball, but I'm not so sure about speed challenged bowlers. They are likely to leave a lot of flat corners. That said, the ball is very impressive, but it would have been nice if you played the ball inside the oil line on more direct lines so we could see how it goes through the pins with less entry angle. Thanks.
I'm Speed Dominant, and your Absolutely Correct, I Love this Ball
Looks like a fantastic ball! Loving my Cuda Solid and Messenger Pearl, this might make me expand my bag one more ball.
This looks really good. I preordered this ball last week. Glad to see that I made a good decision. I've never had a Columbia 300 ball before. Looks like a good place to start. Thanks for the video.
Nice clean game
Nice review Brunsnick! I spent the first 40 years of my life rolling with Track, Ebonite, Hammer, and Columbia balls with moderate success. I decided to rebuild my arsenal using the SPI lines. They tend to match up better with my older body. However, I still enjoy watching your ball reviews
On second thought, I may go with a Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid as the first ball out of the bag on the fresh. Looking for a strong asymmetrical solid/ hybrid.
This ball is the third overall ball with a solid HK22 coverstock (following the DV8 Brutal Collision and the Hammer Radioactive Vibe), and the first HK22 solid to come in a dull out of box finish.
Very few and far between! 👍🏻
This may be a bit of a hot take, but for me HK22 is better in solid form than pearl.
@@andrewweltlich9065 I struggle with HK 22 in the "weaker" bowling balls. Ball up is fine.
@@darrenchambers3042 that's interesting because that hasn't been the case for me. I like the Tundra Fire, but haven't been able to match up at all with the Stealth pearl, just as an example.
This ball has hitting power. Reminds me of my defender , you know when it hits pocket
It would be cool if had the piranhas from the past , a orange one like a hybrid or a shiny solid , keep the blue one , make the jade . I love vintage bowling balls i just got my hands on a single drilled brutal nightmare, a single drill wine u dot and a turquoise rhino plastic which feels like it has urethane mixed in to it . I have a lot of vintage balls . Especially the aqua marine quantum, quantum leap and the og forest green quantums. It is something about the vintage balls that sets them apart from their remakes.
columbia might be the most slept on brand with ebonite
I’ve been looking to get a new solid for a while and I’m gonna bite on this one. HK on a solid looks fun, really dig the color too.
I'm a relatively speed dominant left handed bowler. My local PSO recommended this ball to me. I've bowled with it twice so far. First time was on a left over sport shot from a college team. I don't know what the pattern was. I thought I did okay, considering it was my first time on a sport shot. Last week was on a typical house shot. I thought it was a great match for me. After I got the pattern broken down a bit with the Piranha. I switched to my Black Widow Ghost. And was able to keep playing the same area.
1:47 dang that took off hard. Man this ball reminds me of the Cuda solid I got last year’ now I have the pearl and soon next month the piranha
Nice looking ball.
It has a nice roll an continues motion like this shape
Should be a good piece!
@brunsnick that Ethos though is going to be great pin down option.
Maybe. Wouldn’t advise.
Ball is 🔥🔥🔥! Looks smoother and more controllable than the Brutal Collision. A little stronger than the Radioactive Vibe!
That ball will sell like hot cakes!! Looks great, hits great, roll well.
Hotcakes are pretty spectacular.
I finally decided to drill the Piranha. This ball rolls heavy and smooth. First game out of the box 234 on a 43 ft. House. I found the missing piece . This is going to fill the 3rd spot in my bag. Currently Hitter, Katana Assault, Piranha, Zigzag, Fireball. Looking for a strong symmetrical pearl
Picking mine up on this wednesday looking forward to it loving my cuda pearl want to add this as my only sym solid is an old roto grip show off that deserves to retire.
Got mine ordered!!!
Have a teammate who is a big c300 guy recommended it as soon as I saw the announcement
Sir, my bank account can only do so much. I just got the Ethos and Perfect Mindset (thank you, sweeps winnings), but now here comes a ball that gives me strong Jackpot Solid vibes. I did need a new sym solid, though..... But, I'm uncertain how a full HK arsenal would perform.
My dad had the jade piranha c pearl . If the new piranha was compared to the other piranha balls that would be awesome but finding a old one is few and far between
YES!!!
This is a piece I HAVE to get. Thanks for the review. I think this ball has a lot of potential.
Started wondering with the throwback bowling balls making a come back if the Sapphire Zone will come back or the Zone line.
First ball I ever bought with my own money 💰 was the Columbia 300 Yellow Dot Legend. 😂
Nick quick question difference with this and power torque??
Not a lot of real world difference on the lanes. Piranha maybe a little cleaner and sharper compared to Power Torq with the HK22.
Nice ball video, I am a stroker, I usually stand on forth dot and roll over between first and second arrows. Will this ball be too hard for me to control the hockey or flip ? Is there a way I could delay the hook later, go longer before hooking ? Does that determine the position of the pin on the bowling ball ?
Thank you. I enjoyed all your videos.
I think this one is fairly smooth compared to other balls out there, if you want to delay the hook, just bring the surface up from the box finish. Layouts can help, you’ll want to discuss your options with your pro shop on that one.
I know they just did the big hit but when is Ebonite going to redo the turbo x with hk22...thatd be awesome
Good question. 🤷🏻♂️
This ball has my attention. I have a solid Cuda pin down which on a radical layout sheet is called Ultimate control. Wonder what would be a good layout of this to work with Cuda?
Radical only recommends pin down on asymmetrical balls. That layout isn’t on the symmetrical sheets.
You’d want to go higher pin with this to make them roll much different and flare different.
@@brunsnick radicalbowling.com/uploads/downloads/Layouts/radical-layouts.pdf This was an older layout sheet I found showing the layout I have. I know Radical says no to pin down no on sym balls. If I get the piranha I am thinking a 5" pin
Will there be too much overlap with the NU Blue Hammer?
Not at all. This is much more aggressive.
Is the Entry Speed the same that is shown on the bowling alleys machines?
Yes.
How many of the balls you test make your league or tournament bag?
Plus due you try them on Sport patterns?
I cycle in new balls for league every week. Rarely do I try them on sport, but the NU Blue was filmed on Wolf today.
Would this fit along with the outer limits hybrid or the atlas
Both are pretty smooth, not sure you’ll see enough separation.
@@brunsnick would that widow 3.0 or archetype or extreme envy fit better
Where exactly are you looking for the new ball to fit? All of those will be stronger and earlier hooking.
@@brunsnick yes to fit with the outer something stronger
Any of those 3 would be good but I would suggest something weaker than Outer Limits to fit below Piranha. You’re going to need something for drier lanes.
SOLD! 😂
Will this be a good compliment to my Cuda Solid?
It’s a little stronger, small step above.
@@brunsnick what does that mean “stronger”? More hook potential? Please excuse my ignorance but i dont always understand the terminology that is used when describing bowling balls
It has more hook potential yes.
Why is every new ball just using the hk 22 coverstock? New ball? Hk22. Old ball? Hk22. Why is everything the same?
It’s the base resin. Additive packages are different.
Looks like this ball needs oil, correct?
Yes, it’s pretty strong.
It appears that ball has teeth!
