I love having the Pure Madness in my bag. Typically, big balls with brighter colors just don't seem to do well in my hands. Not this one! It is a slight step down from your biggest oil lovers, so it goes a little further down lane and is a little more continuous than balls like the Archetype or Black Widow 3.0. However, it is still very good for heavier oil conditions and provides more change of angle. It is the perfect compliment to medium patterns with urethane carry down as well as cliffed house shots!
One thing I love about this pure madness is how smooth it is. I found this ball to be a great step up to the Atlas. It digs through oil, but doesn’t overbook and/or do anything violent.
Pure Madness is smooth is butter. For the amount of surface it comes with 2K she floats through heads. The Pure Madness is so versatile with the surface you can use on heavy oil and with a little compound or shine you will get more bang on the backend. So you can use this ball on Heavy or Medium and have complete control.
Super impressed with the C300 Pure Madness. So impressed that I purchased a second one. The first one was drilled 60 x 5 x 30 (pin up) and the second was drilled 40 x 4 1/2 x 70 (pin down). Both balls rolled absolutely phenomenal. The pin down reads it a little sooner and slows down although still devastating through the pins. The pin up one reads the mid-lane and rolls heavy and predictable off the friction. These two balls have seen quite a bit of lane time over the last month. The Pure Madness will not disappoint so see your local Pro Shop Operator ASAP and get yours!!!
I drilled the Columbia 300 Pure Madness 50 x 4.25” x 25 to be that big solid asym that can rip off the spot when the condition calls for it, and it fits perfectly there. The Pure Madness uses the Craze core combined with the HK22 - ERT Solid cover to produce the strongest ball in the Columbia lineup. I can move inside on patterns like Hardwick 44’ with ease, cut off my angles, and the Pure Madness keeps striking. On medium length, heavier patterns, like Alcatraz 38’, I can get the ball to roll forward quicker, stop at the pocket, and still carry corner pins like I am peeling it off the edge. The only patterns I do not recommend this ball on are super short, or light volume medium patterns, which is why Columbia 300 has other great options like the Piranha PowerCOR or Cuda PowerCOR Pearl. Lastly, if you bowl on house shots, you will love this ball because you can move as deep as you want, and the Pure Madness keeps hooking and striking!
