I think this might be the best ball I have ever had, and I have owned over 500 different pieces. This ball is a great ball just was out during the end of the Virtual line and the beginning of the Missions. This ball carries well , is extremely versatile, and is easy to read. If you have not given it a go now is a great time being that they are on closeout now in some areas. You will not be disappointed. Id say 8 or 9 out of 10 people I see out here at the booth feel the same way that I do.

Cliff,
+1, agree 100%. Has helped my game become more consistent. By the way, I sent you a PM a few days ago.

I just got a pure swing... wow... better pop then the mission and definately more consistent. I may have to consider the full swing...
--------------------
Hmm..Lets see what I have in this bag.. A bright red Mission, a Nasty Spider, something to break the Lanes with, and a green Avalanche.. how can I lose?
....HG-300(2006 w/Desert Heat)...299 (03/15/09 w/Agent Orange)...HS-776 (Hot Sauce Pearl & Ebonite Magic)

give us the name of the next swing!!!!!!!!!!
and how much stronger it is then the tb
-
A friend of mine throws one... very smooth, weaker than his mission, but more predictable off the spot.
-
Why is this ball discontinued already? Just heard it from my distributor.
-
I finally got a chance to throw all the swings and it is a good peice. I'm still in love with the Momentum swing but the Full Swing is the real deal. Full, Pure, Power and Momentum Swing is all very good balls.
-
My full swing has seen many, many games. I've cleaned it after every set. No dings, gashes or what not. Very durable cover. I actually started to get a track before any other cover dings. Still rolls very well. Love the ball. I never really need anything as early as the momentum swing, but I do have one that I take with me to places that don't have a THS. I'm definately going to pick up another full swing with simular specs and lay it out the same way (identical to my pure swing), before they disappear. Just waiting for shops to budge off regular price.
-
The Full Swing is an AWESOME ball. Definitely one of my favorites. I've got one more stocked away for a rainy day. =] If anyone gets a chance to pick one of these up before they completely disappear...do it! You definitely won't be disappointed.

Love the power swing. Columbia is doing something right.
-
I think with all of the good c300 balls that everyone i have talked to has liked its just a matter of time before one of these great balls becomes that best selling ball. With all of the good balls they are picking up customers rapidly. I see more and more on the racks around town. Storm gained the momentum like this with the shifts then gravity and ebonite with the mission now. C300 i feel will be next.

When I go to league, it's not just swings, noizes and freezes on the racks either. I'm still seeing people throw their momentums, resurgences, messangers, etc. Our whole team with the exception of one guy throws all columbia on one of my league. There's only 3 of us out of that 80 that have full swings and 2 of us that have power swings, but there are 10+ pure swings. However, there is a TON of older columbia balls out there... Throttles, Actions etc.
-
I have both a Pure and Full Swing. Love the Pure, hate the Full. Tried many different surfaces, conditions, etc. Ball is just a dud for me.

got mule?

There really needs to be a flowing river out there for the full swing to be useable in a very effective manner, but having shot 836 and tons of upper 7s with it, I love it when I can use it. And when I cant next best thing...Pure Swing.
