Pure Swing
« on: December 31, 1969, 06:00:00 PM »
HIGH PERFORMANCE BALL
FEATURES:
- Color: Black/Gold Pearl All colors do vary somewhat from the picture shown.
- Core: Full Swing
- Veneer: Full Tilt 5.0 Pearl
- Surface: 800, 1000 Abralon w/Powerhouse Factory Finish
- RG: 2.52
- Diff: .056
- Reaction: Skid/Flip
- Hook Ratings: Oil - 36, Backend - 46
- Recommended Lane Condition: Medium Oil
- Description: The Pure Swing is the newest “best of the best” from Columbia 300. It features our Full Swing Core surrounded by a new coverstock called Full Tilt 5.0 Pearl. For this release we have smoothed out the 5.0 nodules making the shell more responsive to friction and delivering a ball that goes longer but makes a stronger move down lane on more medium conditions. This ball is stronger in the backend than any High Performance ball in our history and will provide bowlers a complementary product to our Full Swing and Bedlam series balls. It’s performance is as pure as anything you have ever encountered.

This is my newest and to me the greatest ball I own.  It's 15 pound drilled stacked with the pin and cg left of the ring finger.  I'm a lefty.  This ball has great length and a powerful backend.  I've had ton on success with this on the pro patterns and house shots.  very controlled ball and hits hard.  I've notice Columbia lately sence I bowled 300 with an arch rival and they  make some great balls, perhaps the best!!
I liked the coloring of this ball at first and after throwing a power swing I just had to try one.  the full swing core with a pearl of the full tilt!! it's awesome.  I'm eager to try the new pure physics when the next demo comes along.
  Great job columbia you have a new customer,  anyone need any hammer balls!!

My stats are in my profile, but a breif overview is 17mph ball speed, higher than average axis rotation, pretty high tilt, and above average revs.

My fiancee struggled with this ball last year and got a Mission to replace it so I had Justin Buford at Cliff Barnes Pro Shop in Winston-Salem plug it and give it a go.

What I was looking for: The ball motion and strength i had in mind is something that would bridge a gap from my higher end pieces-a Virtual Gravity and a Momentum Swing. I was looking for a clean look through the heads with good continuation on the backend.

Drill Pattern: After discussing the drilling options with Justin, we decided on a Pin over ring placement, which is 4.5" for me. We also decided on a Double Thumb hole, bear in mind i have never had that hole placement before so it was new territory for me . Im not sure of the hole diameter.

What I got: Both of my league shots are on the higher volume side, so I havent expected too much. What i can tell you is at the current surface of 4000 and no polish it is not flippy by any means. Actually i was very surprised at just how smooth and controllable it is. So in actuality i got the opposite of what i was intending to get, but at the same time I am very happy with the ball reaction.

To add the the ball reaction, i'm not sure if the smoothness is so much to do with the actual drilling as it is my fiancee not cleaning it properly. But it could also be due to the high flaring drilling conbined with my release causing it to burn a little earlier than needed. My plan for this ball is to get an oil extraction done and then do another review. As for now I am content with it if the reaction doesnt change much after the extraction, I like smoother rolling pieces when I encounter sparking backends so it will definitely have a place in my bag.

Right now its definitely under my Virtual Gravity and Momentum Swing, and 607a strength wise, but it is a bit stronger than my Loud Noize.
