First reaction to this ball was WOW its def smoother than I thought it would be. Went with a 5 inch pin to pap layout & man does this ball work great with some friction. Super good for higher friction houses. Have had quite a few honor scores during the 20-21 season with this ball. If you are looking for house shots that hook a lot or patterns for late in the day. I promise you won't be disappointed with this one!
When the beast is not enough, and your bench mark ball is hitting friction too early. This the ball i can trust for the skid/flip or as i like to call it the push and hook. Rolls just as advertised, cuts the deflection potential my beast would have down and continues through the roll phase till it has rolled off the deck.
I'll use this ball when I've moved as far left as i could and the lanes are dreadfully burned up.
I drilled the Columbia Outlook to be the longer, stronger symmetric pearl in my lineup, and boy does it deliver! I am a left handed bowler, 340 rpm, 16.5 mph, 18 AT, 55 AR, so I needed something clean through the fronts, but would really motor on the back part of the lane. I needed a ball for that 2-3 game transition when the lanes burn up a bit, but I want to still "bang on it" at the bottom of the swing. The Outlook, which features DynamiCore for extra hitting power and longevity, really fits perfectly in that spot. I drilled mine 5" x 30 for length and quicker backend transition, and it is not only reliable, but carries extremely well when given enough angle through the fronts. If you are looking for that perfect pearl symmetric to square up on the fresh, or open up the lanes when they burn up, then THIS is your ball! Order your Columbia Outlook now from Moore's Pro Shop, or pro shops everywhere! Thank you.

The outlook remind me chaos black. When the lanes get that wet/dry I can move right and hit like a truck. You won’t be disappointed. If you had chaos black you will definitely like the outlook
I have seen a lot of balls in my day but this new Outlook performs like one of the top shelf balls. I think the match between the core and cover stock is right on. I had no problem getting length out of this at all. On a long pattern with medium oil this ball performs very good. It is a great league ball.
