In the bowling scene (both in North America and outside), one of the better-known companies that manufacture bowling equipment is Columbia Industries, Inc. They are well known mainly because of their high performance Columbia 300 bowling balls that are the result of painstaking and careful research.

Columbia Industries, Inc. is actually a brand for Ebonite Industries, also a manufacturer of ten-pin bowling equipment and peripherals. Some of Ebonite’s other brands are Hammer Bowling, Dyno-Thane, and Robby’s.

Columbia Industries manufactured its first polyester ball back in 1960, calling it the “Columbia 300”. Shortly after its introduction, the Columbia 300 bowling ball became one of the most famous brands of bowling balls in the world of bowling and has made Columbia Industries, Inc. one of the foremost manufacturers of bowling balls in the world. To date, Columbia Industries, Inc. distributes their famous brand to all 50 states in the United States as well as to 30 countries all around the world.

Columbia 300s are famous for their beautiful and eye-catching colors and designs, made of pearly, brightly colored polyester materials. Columbia 300s look good, but more importantly, they have great performance. Columbia Industries Inc. dedicates its resources for research and development to improve the “striking sphere” of their Columbia 300s.

Columbia 300 bowling balls are categorized into different types based on performance, and each has a different name. High performance balls are called Resurgence, normal performance balls have the Wrath-High Flush and Rival, while those that are under the value performance category has the Jazz (which come in different colors). Entry level reactive balls and polyester balls have Scout/R and White Dot, respectively.

Columbia Industries, Inc. still continues to this day to provide the best bowling equipment to everyone around the world. Through this, bowling experiences for players, both old and new, will hopefully be that much more rewarding.
