Topic says it all, just trying to see how everyone is liking the current Columbia 300 Line.

 

I personally am loving the Ransom Demand and Dark Encounter, both of my Dark Encounters give me a smooth control roll, when I need something with more backend I just switch to the Ransom Demand. 

 

Another great ball for me is the Omen, I have only been able to use this ball on a few shots though as I drilled it up for Heavy oil.

I for one am loving my encounter and dark encounter combination.

I like the Encounter.  I am considering a Dark Encounter for heavier tournament shots.

teseted the ransom demand at demo in august really nice ball..clears the heads good...nice pop on the backend...good pin carry...my cousin bought the ball and just loves it.....he can play anywhere with the ball he just moves left....he thinking about buying another just to have it....me im intrested in the omen as well...im very impressed with what they are putting out at columbia....really big hammer fan but not really liking their line up right now...

I have a Ransom Demand and really love the ball.

I demo'd the Eruption and thought it was a good ball, though not as angular on the back end as some would lead you to believe. Still, I thought it seemed like a pretty good ball for the money. For comparison, I got a very similar reaction from a Marvel Pearl, which is quite a bit more expensive.

I also demo'd the Encounter and thought it was a decent ball, though I felt like it had mid-level performance at a premium price point. I was anticipating something sharper on the back end, but it was more rolly than I expected. Still, I was able to strike with it regularly - just from tighter angles than I was expecting to play.
