C-System-2-5

Performance balls featuring Chemical Friction Technology
In addition to being a legendary bowler, Salvino has studied what makes a bowling ball react and experimented to create advanced technology materials and holds multiple patents related to bowling ball design.

This new line of performance bowling balls features Chemical Friction Technology (CFT). As Salvino explains, “The coverstock was chemically designed to have shaped molecular structures that produce a high coefficient of friction. Because of the shape of the molecule, when the ball goes into rolling friction, which occurs at the back part of the lane, slippage is eliminated and the ball will give you maximum entry and carry. This is the advantage of chemical friction versus mechanical friction.

“The chemistry is versatile enough that even if sanded or polished, it will not change the shape of the molecule. That is the uniqueness of this chemistry.”

Coverstock: CFT 2.5 ™
The chemistry was uniquely designed to have shaped molecular structures that produce a high coefficient of friction. Because of the shape of the molecule, when the ball goes into rolling friction, which occurs at the back part of the lane, slippage is eliminated and the ball will give you maximum entry and carry.

Core: I-Block
The new I – Block core was engineered specifically for the CFT 2.5 coverstock to create maximum forgiveness, strong entry angles along with versatile drilling layouts.

Reaction Characteristics
Ball Motion: With its 4000-grit micro pad finish, the C · (System) 2.5 will provide good length with a strong continuous backend reaction that matches up on medium to oily lane conditions for a wide range of bowling styles.
Reaction Setup:The C · (System) 2.5 can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for asymmetric bowling balls.

Elastin 7.5 Solid
The Elastin chemical breakthrough carries in with the Dark Encounter. The original Encounter featured a pearl version of the revolutionary Elastin coverstock at a strength of 6.0 out of 10. The chemical engineers at Columbia 300 have taken this technology to a new level by creating even larger pores and increasing the length of the polymer chains in a solid version of Elastin.

Encounter Core
The Encounter core is the same dynamic core found in the original Encounter. Bowlers have come to love the Encounter core for the performance it provides through strong and versatile performance characteristics.

What To Expect
Columbia 300 has taken ultimate traction in oil to the next level with the new Elastin 7.5 Solid coverstock without sacrificing great backend motion. The proven core along with a great new cover will provide the big hook you’ve been looking for.

Look forward to meeting or seeing you in my Bowling Store !!

I started bowling 5 pin leagues at age 6. I bowled 5 pin till the age of 11 then I gave it up for 10 pin.

The reason why I gave up 5 pin was one day our family went 10 pin bowling back when Burlington Bowl first opened up ( around 1977 ) and I loved it so much more than 5 pin. I soon joined the Saturday Morning Junior League at Burlington Bowl.

My first year bowling 10 pin I averaged very “average” …. it was like 140 at Burlington Bowl.

My second year bowling I found out there was another Junior League on Sunday’s at Skyway Lanes I joined that one too.

I switched from Burlington Bowl on Saturday’s to Hamilton Mountain bowl.

My second year of Junior Bowling I averaged in the 160′s at Hamilton Mountain Bowl and in the 180′s at Skyway Lanes.

My third year of Junior Bowling at age 14 I averaged 208 at Skyway Lanes and this Association Record stood for almost 25 years ( keep in mind Jr bowlers now can be up to 21 )

Now the fun stuff begins !!!!

Adult League was a big transition for me. I turned 15 over the summer and bowling with the MEN was not easy … I bowled in the very prestigous Monday Night Classic League at Skyway Lanes where all the “Big Shots” bowled plus the Wednesday Night Mens Classic League at Hamilton Mountain Bowl with my DAD. Being a little guy I was more intimidated by the size of the guys more than anything. I always let the score do the talking.

By this time I had opened my first pro shop ( with my mother as my partner ) at Skyway Lanes called “The 11th Frame Pro Shop”. Danny Downs taught me how to drill bowling balls as we purchased the business from him.

I was beginning the venture into Scratch Tournaments …. locally and over the border … one problem ??? I could not drive yet !!! Many of the guys going would offer rides and it helped out quite a lot !!

I remember qualifying for my first “Beat the Champ” TV show in Buffalo, NY. I was 17 years old. This year I also joined the PBA. I bowled a handful of tournaments and went to the ever popular PBA Members School 1 in Indianapolis, IN. After completing members school I participated in my first PBA National Tournament at Woodland Bowl in Indianapolis …. I say the word “participated” as I had no chance …. I was so green … it’s kind of funny to look back.

In the summer of 1985 I was offered a sponsorship to bowl the whole summer on the PBA Tour …. a little reluctant at first but I finally agreed to this.

My experience was sub par … and it shattered me. I bowled my last tournament in Buffalo in August of 1985 and threw my equipment in the closet for 18 months …. probably the smartest thing I ever did !!

Don’t ask me why …. but in early 1987 I started bowling again …. my first 3 games back were over 700 …. I had heard at the lanes that afternoon that there was a Beat the Champ qualifier the next week …. so I prepared and made the show once again !!
