Title: Columbia 300 Lit- Any Feedback?
Post by: Helluvahobbybowler on January 23, 2018, 11:16:38 AM

I didn't see many posts or reviews about the Lit on here.  Any thoughts?

I have a teammate who bought this ball beginning of league season and has used it one time. It's a deceptively strong ball!

From what I've seen, I love the motion on it, but it would need some surface change to use it on the medium and light oil shots we see.

I agree with Jesse on the ball motion and yes needs some surface adjustments if your area doesn't use a higher volume of oil.

Did notice in the BJI year end ball guide that ball had one of the shortest length ratings of any ball that came out last year.  That ball grabs by the arrows I am guessing.

After a recent EBI Demo Day, I bought both a Lit and a Paradox. The Lit is a little earlier and covers a few more boards than the Paradox. Both are exceptional pieces.
 
I made the mistake of getting a Sure Lock a few months earlier. Both of the above balls are a much more versatile step up. EBI did a great job on the high end here.

Thanks everyone.  If you know, how would the Lit compare to the Gauntlet?

I would say the Lit is a bit earlier and the Gauntlet is stronger overall.
I just had a chance to throw the Lit Pearl at a demo days, pretty good .
I'm amazed at how a pearl can read the mids these days.

The Lit is one of my favorite balls in my bag right now. It is the ball I will try to start with and stay with as long as I can. It does pick up early but it’s very easy to control. I never threw the Gauntlet but I’m pretty sure the Lit is earlier than the Gauntlet.
