Well, What do you think is the ultimate Columbia 300 arsenal?  Consider any Columbia 300 ball ever made.  

Here's what I can think of: (notables in parentheses)

Heavy Oil: Resurgence (Action, EPX-T1)

Med-Heavy Oil: Full Swing (Momentum Swing, Rival)

Medium Oil: Classic Rock (Momentum, Cuda/c Pearl, Bedlam)

Med-Light Oil: Ti Messenger Pearl Blk/Gold (Wrath Dead Flush, Messenger Cherry Pearl)

Light Oil: Super Beast-would kill to find a blank 15 lber! (Beast Pearl, Freeze [if you can't tell, I love light-bulb cores])

What does everybody else think?

All time.

You have to include the Yellow Dot and U-Dot black and wine and Messenger series.

I liked the orange Piranha but I wouldn't list on the all time list.

A couple that have to be on the list in my opinion....

TI Messenger Black/Gold
Jazz

For the medium light and drier ends these balls are/were some serious beasts!

Joey,

The only one of the bunch you named that I had was the Power Torq, and I just drilled it recently.

See you at Silver.

For an all century team, the SUR-D has to be there. I agree that the Bleeder is a must also.

My list would go in order of birth...
SUR-D
Carmel White Dot
Yellow Dot Bleeder
Black U-Dot
Beast
Cuda/C
Power Torq
Pulse
Messenger

What about the Green Messenger or the Jade Piranha/C?  Both all time favorites of mine. Blue pulse was pretty good back in the day also.
