No pure swing?

2010 is the first time joining a league since 1999.  Over a 10 year lay off and haven't lost much of my game.   This year currently HG-279, HS-733.

The Complete Bedlam uses the Full Swing coverstock with the Total Bedlam core. If I'm not mistaken, the coverstock on the Complete Bedlam DOES have pearl in it, thus making it the same cover as the Pure Swing.

The Complete should create a little bit longer motion with just as much angle down the lane as the Pure Swing.

I'm going to lay out my Complete just like my Pure Swing and see some of the differences. I'll be posting a mini review later in the thread I posted previously.

That is just the new balls.

You might be able to find a Cool Noize and Sharp Noize online as well. This will be some of the discontinued balls that will help fill in the gaps. I will be drilling the Physics and Complete Bedlam on Friday and will give a review as well.

I will definitely be looking forward to your review on the newer pieces B-Red and Tward

In addition to that, I am able to get my hands on a Total Bedlam...my questions are

Will it replace any current ball in my arsenal?
Is this ball a solid or a hybrid? I could never get a definite answer on the latter question

Thanks again folks

The Total Bedlam will probably be a little closer to replacing the Rogue Cell out of the box. However, if you were to take the surface on the Total Bedlam to 2000 and put a stronger drilling on it, you can mirror a Mutant Cell fairly well. Hope this helps.

Full Swing
Pure Swing
Burst
Bedlam
Freeze

Those would be my best guess at trying to mimic your current setup will balls that are still accessible today...

Whatever you end up doing find a spot for the Pure Swing. It is fast becoming my favorite ball of all time pearl or otherwise. It is a true gem IMO. Supreme hit and great reaction. Very strong but very readable.

I am starting to warm up to the idea of the pure swing despite the overlap w/ the complete bedlam. i think im narrowing down to something like this.

Pure Physics to replace the Mutant Cell
Total Bedlam - Rogue Cell
Pure Swing/Complete Bedlam- Second Dimension
Sharp Noize- Rapid Fire Pearl
Freeze- Mars

and possibly a scout as a true dry lanes ball

thoughts...

Total Bedlam will act more like your Mutant than the Rouge. I can just about guarantee you will not be disappointed in what C300 is putting out these days. Wonderful, wonderful equipment right now across the spectrum.

My .02

If you're looking for similar reactions with C300 balls still being made, then I suggest

Total Bedlam for Mutant Cell ( Pure Physics will be much more ball)
Pure Swing for Rogue Cell
Complete Bedlam for 2nd Dimension (comes out later this month)
Freeze for Rapid Fire Pearl
Freeze with a 1-5-2" pin/pap drill for Mars (roll w/ continuation)
