just threw the new C-300 balls
« on: June 15, 2010, 06:52:44 AM »
my friend is on staff and got all the new goodies from columbia.
i threw a few shots with ea. not really sure of his specs

complete bedlem - only threw it twice, good lenth good pop @ the pins. he had it drilled pin up.   i liked it

pure physics - he had 2 of them drilled #1. pin down w/ mass bias under thumb shined a bit went real long and i could not get a good read with it. #2. he had pin to the the right of the ring cg in palm area with the mass bias to the left of the thumb out of box surface, was smooth with a nice arc to the pocket, hit very hard. liked this one better.  but might not have been enough oil for it.

burst - threw this the most, really liked it, lot of pop in the back end with good lenth. drilled pin over middle finger cg kicked to the righ of center. carried very well even as i got deep inside.

I know not the best review, just stating what i saw from them. i might have to get a burst...... would like to try the pp again on some oil.

I've drilled all my new stuff.

Pure physics - 60 x 5 x 50
Complete Bedlam - 50 x 5 1/4 x 70
Burst - 70 x 4 3/4 x 40

Will report more when I have used them properly - so far very impressed!

threw my buddies burst again last night in the 3rd game, had 8 out of 12 strikes.  my curve just wasn't getting back to the pocket but the burst had no problem.   having him drill me 1 up layed out like his.  1st columbia ball that i have really liked since the ti messenger black & gold.

I watched Chris Barnes throwing his burst at the pro-am and regional at my house this past weekend. Granted he is a pro, but that ball looked really good. He won the regional if that tells you anything about the new gear...

Nah that tells me a little about Chris Barnes...I threw the Pure Physics and Complete Bedlam at the Ebonite Extravaganza last week..both great bowling balls, and the Burst is amazing as well..C300 really did a good job giving the bowlers the performance that correlates with price range..I am excited to get the rest of these gems into my customers hands

I agree about that telling you more about Chris Barnes than the ball.  I have a Burst that I drilled witn a benchmark layout where I can go a little straighter when there's a little more oil and bend it a little more if they dry up.   If you need more control at the breakpoint to combat wet/dry house shots or flatter PBA / Sport Patterns, the Burst will do nicely.  

I've only used it on a league shot so far and I liked what I saw with it,  can't wait to try it on PBA/Sport patterns.  

I'm looking forward to giving the Complete Bedlam a go,  not sure about the Pure Physics because unless I run into a condition that requires a hook monster.

got my burst last night, drilled 50x40 (i think) didn't use it till the 3rd game.  sot in the 2's with it, couple of wraps and 1 tug.  i really like how har dit hits and should be a god ball once i really get used to it and comfortable throwing it.  will use it tues for all 3 and see if i can use it on wed as well.
