Color reminds me of the Messenger Pearl Black/Gold.

That's a large pin diameter for a Columbia product...

I went to my local shop today and he had one on display.  Kinda looks like an Ebonite No Limit to me....which is also very plain and boring looking.  

However it's not what it looks like, it's how it performs

I love Columbia 300 products from back in the day.  Used to be the only company I would EVER throw.

Matched up with my game, and everything PERFECTLY.....the new stuff doesn't work for me and it makes me sad

The ball is nicer in person, real dark bronze with some gold/orange when the light hits it.

Agreed, the ball is sharper in person. Not dowdy brown, but with some variation and sparkle. Guy that runs our pro shop threw a set with it this weekend. Looks strong but continuous, not flippy. Seems a real winner at first look.

As a matter of fact, I as well saw one in a local shop today -- ball was actually really dark and brown.  With the simple (kinda) logo, and those colors -- I almost missed out on seeing it, it was hidden amongst the spare balls...

I am wondering if the Action Max will be the last small sized logo from Columbia.

Who cares what it looks like my driller threw his and says it is one of the better balls Columbia has made. So if i can move some more stuff i will be buying one within a few weeks, not going to over due it anymore buying wise.

Nice rolling ball threw it this morning revs up hard and keeps on coming, big step down from action max in oil handling but overall a very good ball.

I saw one of these this weekend.  The color and everything looks pretty wicked, the logo is just a little too huge.
