Columbia 300 Command

The all new Command is the perfect ball for your standard house shot or if you need to have the quick response down lane to friction. DOT technology allows for drilling any way you want, DynamiCore gives this ball the added energy at impact. The combination will give you Command over your scores and competition. Great looks and devastating hit, this is the "Go To" ball you have been looking for.

The super high performance skid/flip pearls are typically not the best types of balls for my style and what I like to see on the lanes, but the Command is a brand of skid/flip that I can actually use. I am somewhat rev dominant, so the big skid/flip balls are typically hard to manage in the back, but the Command actually does a really good job of blending the lanes while maintaining a sharp entry angle. It still does what it is intended to do, like get through the front and create angle down-lane, but it doesn't sacrifice control to do so.

I also think this would be a good ball for speed dominant players looking for a strong pearl. Because it won't blast through the front and never enter a good roll. The ball has some teeth, so I consider it to be a lot more useful than your typical skid/flip ball.

The first thing you notice when throwing the Command is how easy it gets down the lane. Then you see the new core and cover create noticeably more ball motion than previous C300 asymmetrical pearls. This combination gives the Command a very strong back end lane reaction with excellent hitting power.

The new Columbia 300 Command has a new core design called movement. Combined with the A.R.S. (Angular Reaction System) cover, it gives me one of the best motions I’ve seen down lane from an asymmetrical ball since the Columbia 300 Savage Life. As I compare the Command to other balls in their line I see the Command being the perfect go to after the Dynamic Swing. For me, the Dynamic swing is a great ball to help get a slower motion through the middle of the lane and the Command is the ball you go to when the Dynamic Swing has become too strong through the fronts and mids. The Command will give you more distance and a quicker response down lane. For me in comparison to other balls on the market, the Command is the closest to the Astro Physix in motion. The Command would be a great choice if you’re looking for a new cover to replace your Astro Physix and also perfect for those that need an asymmetric piece that is clean and will respond very quickly down lane. I have found good use for this ball playing up and in from the outside on a house shot and inside the lane when I need to see better distance and a stronger, quicker response down lane. A great useful piece to add to your bag.
