WOW.....WOW....and WOW (Theses are the 1 st 3 words I said to myself after throwing this ball) I said that after throwing the Full Swing that there can never be a ball that will hook as much or more than the Full Swing! I was wrong. This ball is like NOTHING I have ever thrown before! This ball has the Full Swing asymmetric core, giving the ball its hook on the lanes. The coverstock is the Full Tilt 7.5, a VERY aggressive veneer. If you are looking for a HOOK MONSTER....This ball is it !

Pure Physics

Layout: 70x4.5x35
Surface: 2000 abralon (out of box)

Company intent (from Columbia’s website):

Introducing the new Columbia 300 Pure Physics. Featuring our high-performing Full Swing core surrounded by our powerful Full Tilt 7.5 coverstock. The new Pure Physics delivers a massive hook and an even more powerful backend. Its performance delivers nothing short of pure satisfaction. Because it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that when you’ve got the biggest hooking ball in the market — you’ve got the advantage. Check it out and see for yourself how Columbia 300 is delivering the best balls in bowling.

My thoughts:

I typically have a problem getting strong equipment to get through the ends clean enough to save energy for the backend.  The Pure Physics is not one of those balls.  I was surprised to see the ball push through the fronts.  The ball reads the midlane and produces a strong backend finish.  I’ve been able to use this ball to make some of the tightest patterns look wide open.  If you are looking for a strong, predictable backend motion, or if you want to be able to cover a lot of boards, the Pure Physics is going to the ball you are looking for.

With the Pure Physics Columbia has the ultimate hook monster. Even polished
to 1200 my Physics drilled 4x4 covers as many boards as I want it to. When dull
out of the box it cuts thru heavy oil and saves the hit for the backend. This
ball continues thru the pins like no other oil ball Columbia has produced.
 I could have used this ball at the USBC team event where oil was very prevelant.
I think polished this ball can be used on most conditions from
medium to heavy oil. For those with a weak hand you will love the strong arc it gives.

Stats:
Ball Speed - 18-20 mph
Rev Rate - 475+
PAP - 3 1/4 right, 1 up
Layout - 50/5/35, surface adjusted to 1000
I was ecstatic to find out about Columbia's release of the Pure Physics. For starters, this is a great looking ball, nice shelf/customer appeal. Once I drilled this ball and started using it I was amazed by the reaction and its exceptional pin carry. The Pure Physics, for a dull coverstock actually does get quite a bit of length but creates a tremendous amount of friction in the midlane and saves up a lot of energy and creates an amazingly strong and continuous motion on the backend. I have experienced a great deal of versatility with my Pure Physics as well. Since I used a wider drill angle, I have been able to use this ball on medium volume patterns to complement how well it reacts on heavy and long patterns. Thus far, I have been using this ball for about 2 months and I have amassed 2 300's, my new high series of 833, and a new career high on Shark pattern with 720. For those looking for a versatile ball for more medium-heavy to heavy patterns can do no wrong with the Pure Physics. Combined with the Pure Swing, these two balls make a great combination, especially for my high speed/rev rate because they both create a nice amount of friction in the midlane without sacrificing that strong and continuous backend motion that today's game requires. As I stated earlier, I was surprised that the OOB condition of this ball did create a lot more length than I thought, so I scuffed my surface on the Pure Physics with a 1000 abralon pad. Bowlers would be wise to put this ball in their bag. Check out Columbia Bowling and the Pure Physics on Facebook to find out about the success people of all skill levels and styles are having with this ball.

Cut up a Pure about 2 months ago with strong layout 4.5x4 from PAP, pin over ring finger CG kicked right. The ball is a hook monster. By far the strongest overall hooking ball since Ebonite took over Columbia 300 in 2006. I wouldn't take the ball out of the bag on anything lower than Chameleon and may be too strong for Chameleon (of course depending on lane surface).

I think what's great about the Pure is it gives you confidence that no matter how heavy the volume you always have an option. Something I never felt before since being on Columbia staff (even with the Resurgance). I've had some good success with the Pure on Shark and Scorpion in my PBAX leagues. The only issue you will have with this ball is getting it through the front. I have not altered the surface but if you possess strong hand you may have to throw on some Powerhouse factory finish to clear the front on the fresh. Strangely the ball seems to retain it's energy longer than you would think and really hits extremely hard. Just a great release from Columbia that belongs in every bag.
