First Impressions
With the Jazz, Columbia 300 brings a fascinating new development to market that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Symmetric core, which with a 2.54 RG and a 0.042 differential ensures very clean motion through the front sections of the lane. 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 characteristic in a big way, letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately conveys that this model was designed primarily for later and sharper direction changes. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Jazz to the Brunswick Rhino, the glaring differences in backend reaction stand out immediately. The Brunswick Rhino tends to read a bit earlier, while the Jazz 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 Rhino starts to lose energy in the pocket or enters too flat. Although both balls are aimed at lighter oil patterns, the Jazz offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Rhino no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has been played on a bit and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction on the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which provides maximum, explosive carry. When the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball allows you to move systematically further inside and attack the pocket from a much deeper angle. It works excellently on medium to dry conditions and is an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, responsive surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on shots missed out, it should keep scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
