Nice to see a new asymmetric core design comes out from Columbia
http://www.columbia300.com/gear/balls.cfm?bid=206
Apogee
To ancient Greeks, Apogee meant highest point. Today, Apogee means reaching the height of asymmetric performance and the apex of power. Columbia 300 pairs the new hard-hitting Capstone™ core with shiny pearl M80™ reactive coverstock to produce corner-turning backends, devastating power and peak pin carry. This absolute choice also features the strongest asymmetric core in Columbia 300 history and introduces a new out-of-this-world color - Celestial Bronze.

I can't tell from the picture, is the core assymetric in shape, or by weight (like the older Storm assym's)?

I do think it's similar to Ebonite's THE ONE, isn't it?
