The previous owner thinks 2011 sounds about right, but the wayback machine says the ball was already D/C'd by then so it must be 2001. Gave her $5 and came home and cleaned it up.
Columbia 300 Scout Reactive: What Decade?
Hey guys, got a ball I am looking at for the old lady. Supposed only used on two bowling trips, this should be an upgrade for her. Does anyone know when this ball was retailed? I am guessing 2001 or 2011, but I don't know a lot about the design timelines. Anyway, for $5 and close to home it looks like a solid deal to me.

I'm thinking that ball was released somewhere around 2011-
2012 somewhere around that time frame.

I was really hoping to have a report about this ball by now, but the old lady has been sick for four days now and can barely get off the couch. Maybe she will make a recovery soon, otherwise it will have to wait until next week.
What kind of report did you want? You only asked about when it was made.Originally Posted by Grizzly Adam

I meant I was hoping to report back how it went. But as I said, she is sick and it's her ball so no report at this time. Thanks for the link, though. I appreciate it.
