- Cool Noize

First Impressions
With the Cool Noize, Columbia 300 brings a fascinating new development to the market that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic NoiZe Symmetric core, which ensures a very clean motion through the front part of the lane with a 2.54 RG and a 0.042 differential. The pearl reactive cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The nature of the surface with a polished finish supports this trait massively, letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately signals that this model was designed primarily for later and sharper changes of direction. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Cool Noize with the Storm Tropical Surge, the glaring differences in backend reaction are immediately apparent. The Storm Tropical Surge tends to read a bit earlier, while the Cool Noize holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That characteristic makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Tropical Surge starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls have a similar orientation toward lighter oil patterns, the Cool Noize offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Tropical Surge no longer develops sufficient drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength when the lane has already been played on a bit and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which delivers maximum, explosive carry. As the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball allows you to systematically move further inside and play the pocket from a much deeper angle. It is very well suited to medium to dry conditions and an excellent choice if you are looking for a clean, quick-reacting surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on misses out, it should keep your scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
