I got my Total Bedlam in the mail today and was happy to get it, this one I have been waiting for. I got EXACTLY what I was expecting, awesome midlane read with a huge amount of backend continuation. It is without a doubt the strongest C300 ball I have thrown. The new 6.0 shell with the new core really compliments each other well. The new finish is great for midlane read and not allowing the ball to burn up to much and saving energy for where you need it most, the backend. The thing I noticed the most was how crisp the pocket shots were, just 10 back every time. This ball has some power that would rival any HP ball I have ever thrown. I tossed 19 out of 20 my first 20 shots before I moved to another pair with carrydown.
THS 41 feet fresh
This ball was made for this!! It really shows its strength when its fresh. It starts to transition into a roll much sooner then the Full Swing and has a noticeable difference in hooking ability. I would say mine was 4-6 more boards overall and atleast a foot sooner, I could not throw it past the breakpoint which really impressed me with my speed.
THS 41 feet carry-down.
This ball was pretty good on the carry-down. The Total Bedlam is SO strong as with any other aggressive ball you might have to put it away when the lanes burn up, I had to move in pretty deep to keep it in some oil up front and it kept making the turn. This ball will be awesome the first couple games of league or possibly all night depending on your surface and amount of oil used. But until then you will absolutely destroy the pocket with this ball.
Columbia 300 has made a real winner with this one, it is as impressive as advertised! Thanks for reading my review.
