Elastin 7.5 Solid Coverstock

Type

Solid Reactive

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.
