Great, like the Momentum isn't a strong enough pearl as it is.

Gotta agree it says red pearl in the color.  That does not make the cover a pearl it has the NE2 cover at 4000 abby with powerhouse polish.  Not a pearl.

On the columbia300 website it doesn't state either way. It has Red Pearl as a color, but that doesn't mean anything.


Edit: I'm a slow typer.

Sorry to say but the Momentum is just a solid with Red Pearl as a color.  Not pearl coverstock.  And i own the ball too.

I was always under the impression it's a pearl, and I have never seen a solid reactive make such a strong move off the friction like this ball does, even with surface it's one of the most angular balls i've owned.

I just contacted Columbia looking for an answer, not calling you guys who say it's a solid liars I just find it a little hard to believe that the Momentum isn't a pearl.

The strength of Power Swing is not only the coverstock but the core.  Checout out the specs and you'll see this will be the most backend ball in the C300 line

The Momentum is a reactive Pearl.

The Power Swing looks like another winner from C300.

This ball looks so good.  If I was throwing Columbia it would be in my arsenal.  I'd love to see one of these in action.

As for the Momentum, the Columbia's site doesn't refer to the cover as a pearl except for the colors.  However, in their catalog that pro shops get, it says NE2 Pearl
Title: Re: POWER SWING
Post by: Marc822 on December 23, 2008, 11:14:31 PM
With Momentum's new NE2 coverstock, more of the ball surface meets the lane. The result is better friction, resulting in greater control in any oil condition. The Momentum comes polished, so its energy is conserved until it reaches the end of the oil pattern. This ball was designed for today's league bowling conditions. It's the dominant league ball that's missing from your bag.

COLOR Purple/Orange/Red Pearl

REACTION Strong Arc

VENEER NE2 Reactive

SURFACE 4000 Abralon Powerhouse Factory Finish

CORE Resurgence Symmetric

LANE CONDITION Any Typical League Pattern

WEIGHTS 12-16

I read his profile. I just still find it hard to believe this ball is a solid.

Guess that means I have no pearls in my arsenal. Oh well I guess i'll go drill a Loud Noize.

I was always under the impression it was a pearl with the Momentum Swing being the solid (obviously)

here on ballreviews:
http://www.ballreviews.com/Reviews/Reviews.asp?ManufacterID=3&BallID=857
It just says reactive, meaning non-pearl

on bowlingballreviews:
http://www.bowlingballreviews.com/ball.asp?ballid=3374
It says reactive pearl

I would have to trust Marc on this one

Sorry haven't been on here much and I forgot about this. You guys were right the Momentum is a polished solid and not a pearl like I thought.

Next Tuesday our Scratch League is doing a demo with this ball.  We had to sign up for it last night and commit to using it for the night.  Had to also be a regular bowler in the league.  Supposedly they have 2 dozen for right handers and 6 or so for lefties.  High series throwing it for the night gets one of them.
Yes I signed up.  I used to throw a lot of Columbia, but not lately but figured we would give it a look.  Interested in seeing how it is compared to my Sauce.

Seen a staff player use it and it clears the front well with very good recovery

Post by: mmcfarland300 on December 31, 2008, 03:17:13 PM
Im intrested in seeing some reviews sounds like it could be a very angular piece.
Title: Re: POWER SWING
Post by: BuddiesProShopcom - Tim on January 03, 2009, 11:36:15 AM
The Power Swing does look exciting.  Can't wait to drill mine in the next couple of days.  After I do, I will repot on the ball, so keep a look out.  I did see one of the Ebonite International reps using one last weekend, and it did get through clean and was more angular than any current C300 ball.  

On the other subject...the Momentum is 100% a pearl ball.  All three colors have pearl additive to it.

Well either way, it has more length and kick than the other balls in the high-performance line.  To me, it will always be a pearl
