MID-PRICED, NOT MID-PERFORMANCE | Columbia 300 Kaboom

The Columbia 300 Kaboom packs a lot of punch for a ball in the mid-range category with its brand new Detonate symmetrical core and HK22 Reflex Pearl coverstock. Everything about this ball is mid — medium RG, medium Differential but it's certainly not medium performance.

I have collaborated with Inside Bowling to design some t-shirts and here they are! Sport some OG BrunsNick gear, check out the link!

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.

Great value for the beginning bowlers.

Man Nick I just dig the way your videos describes the ball and layout, and the numbers. A viewer gets a real video no hold on the video. Thanks bud and keep them coming

[mariansowinski]

Ball looked great when Ron Hickland Jr from CTD put 3000 surface on it.

I bowl on dry cliffed house shot... bone dry outside 5 and flying backends. 2H lefty, rev dominant. I do well with a Black Hammer at 4k, and a 5.25"x60 Magenta Rhino. Need a ball up when the dry cliff finally carries down a bit, and those 2 balls start missing the spot. I'm looking at the Kaboom, Fire Ball, Radioactive Vibe. Suggestions on a ball up from there, that isn't massively stronger?

[CliftonDon]

The Kaboom looks like a good ball for time it would be used for. Here's an idea for the next shirt "crossing pins, trippin' 4's, it's what I do"

Hi Nick, i love your reviews, so much change and balls its impossible to keep up.
When you do these reviews, can you mention if it's a good fit for usbc nationals shot, either team, doubles, or singles. Thanks

[hammy]

Thanks Nick, think this will complement my authority solid pretty well. Keep up the great videos and reviews.

[tritnheat]

Hey Nick-

How close do you have this vs. the new Messenger powercor Pearl black/gold?

[dennismcclintock]

Hello Nick live your videos. Since watching you Ive learned quite a bit so i say thank you. So if off base just say so how does this compare to the new TRAK BALL CYPHER??? I think right it's has HK22 as well. Also I ordered 4 shirts from ya

[hernandoolarte]

Great videos, Nick!!! Would you please describe the layout of your balls? I noticed you use an insert for the middle finger and not for the ring finger which I understand you want to release first your ring finger while still keeping the middle in at release but I also noticed your ring finger hole is way below for a "normal" layout. Is this due to a particular hand condition you have (which I don't see) or what is the purpose of this big difference? Do you also use unconventional or particular pitches for your layouts? Thank you and keep up the good work you do for us!!!

I pretty much stick to Hammer. Jumping back into bowling for the first time in a couple years for a 12 week session and the league prize fund is a new ball. I chose this one. I don't understand layouts (never was concerned over 38 years of bowling now) always went with the same layout. Pin above ring finger. Probably drill this out the same way. This looks like it could be the one to get me my second 300.

[joemorales]

Is the entry speed the same as the speed showing on the score screen?

[marke]

Hey Brunsnick ... I'm friends with Ernie Schlegel and he would say I can't believe at 10 times when you leave at 8 pin

[BlaineDEEJEE]

Just a quick question. I noticed u tuck ur pinky under. Do u recommend this? I’ve tried it a couple times. But it seems to weaken my wrist a little. Sorta like making me come around the ball more. Maybe I’ll firm up my wrist.
Thanks in advance.

[Koeni_Nick]

Am I the only one that used to love big hero 6?

[darylgould]

Great review as always. Do you bowl tournaments mate?

[RONNIEKRAVITZ]

Hi - My question is what is the difference between Kaboom and the Messenger Powercor Pearl bowling ball?

Thanks - Ronnie

[Bowlstan]

I can see that Nick’s shirt from the video has 8-pin written all over it.

[gordonwebb]

[donaldmiller]
