First Impressions
The Columbia 300 Deep Freeze Pink Frost shows up in an extremely bright Pink and White Pearl color combination. At the heart of this model sits the legendary symmetrical Modified Messenger Core, which stands out with an extremely high RG of 2.570 and a comparatively moderate differential of 0.043. The cover is the tacky yet polished Pearl Reactive coverstock, brought to a high gloss out of the box. The high RG makes the core rev up very late, while the smooth cover should let the ball glide through the heads with a lot of certainty.
Comparison
Compared to strong solid balls, the Deep Freeze Pink Frost grabs extremely late and offers a considerably more stable, tamer reaction at the breakpoint. Against the Roto Grip Loco Pearl, the Deep Freeze produces a very similar, moderate motion on dry lanes. Once the transition sets in and the front part of the lane dries up completely, the Deep Freeze is in its element. It calls for dry boards to carry its gentle dynamics into the pins without overreacting.
On the Lanes
The Columbia 300 Deep Freeze Pink Frost finds its preferred use on extremely dry lane conditions. It is the perfect choice for beginners or for players who need a ball on completely burned-up patterns that skids easily through the heads and produces a steady hook toward the pocket. The weak reaction helps keep you from overthrowing the breakpoint. The ball should help secure carry at low ball speeds. On fresh oil, however, this ball is unplayable.
