Columbia Bowling Balls
The first major innovation in the manufacturing of bowling balls occurred in 1960 when Columbia successfully used polyester resin for developing the Columbia 300 bowling ball.
One of the many factors contributing to the success of the company is the eye catching designs and great use of colors, which go along with using the polyester materials. Of course, no serious bowler will sacrifice a single pin off his score just for the privilege of owning a beautiful ball.
Therefore, Columbia puts all research and development into the improvement of the striking sphere. The company has gone to great lengths in researching and developing “impact” and “mixing” of the pins.

More recently such terms as radius of gyration, coefficient of restitution and amount of flare are factored into the manufacturing process. Research into every aspect of making a better ball for the bowler goes on every day at Columbia 300.
