Columbia 300 Piranha Solid Bowling Ball

A Controlled, Defined Symmetric for Medium to Heavy Oil

About the Piranha Solid

The Columbia 300 Piranha Solid is a controlled, defined symmetric built for medium to heavy oil. It pairs a re-tuned symmetric Piranha Core with the HyperFlex Solid coverstock, delivering a smooth, controllable read with a defined shape. It is the more controllable, on-line member of the Piranha family.

The Piranha Solid is built for control. Columbia 300 raised the RG and lowered the differential versus the PowerCOR Pearl version, so this Piranha gets down the lane a little further and reads with a smoother, more defined shape. The HyperFlex solid cover digs into oil and drives through the pins, giving you a controllable benchmark-style motion on medium to heavy oil.

Understanding the Columbia 300 Piranha Core and Columbia 300 HyperFlex Solid Reactive

Columbia 300 built the Piranha Solid as the controlled, defined symmetric of the Piranha family. Specifically, the symmetric Piranha Core posts a 2.554 RG and a .043 differential, numbers tuned for a smoother, more controllable shape, while the HyperFlex Solid cover at a 1500-grit finish reads the midlane and drives through the pins on medium to heavy oil. As a result, it gives you a defined, repeatable motion with control. The per-weight specifications are listed below.

A Re-Tuned Symmetric Core for a Controlled, Defined Shape

At the heart of the Piranha Solid is the symmetric Piranha Core. At 15 lb it measures a 2.554 RG and a .043 differential, numbers that produce a smooth, controllable roll with a defined shape. Columbia 300 raised the RG and lowered the differential versus the PowerCOR Pearl Piranha, so this version gets down the lane a touch further and reads more controllably.

Unlike the Piranha PowerCOR Pearl, the Piranha Solid is tuned without the PowerCOR weighted nugget, which is what gives it the higher RG and the smoother, more defined motion. The symmetric design keeps the reaction predictable, so the Piranha Solid reads the lane the same way every shot.

A Solid Reactive Cover That Digs Into Oil

The Piranha Solid wraps that core in Columbia 300’s HyperFlex Solid Reactive coverstock at a 500, 1500 Siaair Micro Pad finish. The solid cover reads the midlane with strong traction, so the ball gets into a roll on medium to heavy oil and drives continuously through the pins.

That early, controllable read is what makes the Piranha Solid such a dependable medium-to-heavy piece. Leave it at the 1500 Siaair box finish for medium to heavy oil, take the surface lower for more traction when the volume climbs, or polish it up for a cleaner, longer look when the lanes dry. Have surface changes done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.
