The Need for Top Speed
The Columbia 300 Top Speed is a staple in my bag! This ball has been amazing for me during tournaments. I am presently averaging 259 with it during tournament transitions. The pearl ball reads the midlane quite well and responds off the friction even better for a strong continuation through the pins. I lightly scratched the surface with a 3000 pad and have not touched the surface since! This ball has been used on 2023 PBA Earl Anthony, Carmen Salvino, and Don Carter! I recommend you visit your local pro shop operator and put this ball in your bag!

WOW!!!
I was a big fan of the Columbia 300 Speed which resulted in some honor scores during competition but WOW, this Top Speed something special. Combining the Formula 1 cover that was utilized in the Speed with the NEW HK22 additive is impressive. My Top Speed is very controllable and predictable. The down lane motion and pin carry is stellar!!! Contact or visit your Pro Shop Operator to get yours.

Oh my!
This ball definitely is top speed. Quick down the lane and quick off the corner. The HK22 cover gets the ball to the mid lane and then flips a switch and changes direction. Must have!

Late Block Killer
Out of the box I was pretty worried when the ball didn’t perform as I had hoped, but after knocking the factory polish off, Wow. This ball flat out makes the turn and continues through the pins. It doesn’t get a lot of use on the fresh but it’s a beast when the lanes start to transition and I need to open my angles. Even with my tweeter release I can really circle the lanes on the burn.

smooth as glass
I have been drilling a lot of HK22 stuff lately so I wanted a bit different shape. I drilled my Columbia 300 Top Speed 45 x 5 x 75 pin down for maximum continuation. First night of league I shot 750 with it, which is not an honor score but great for me lately. My ball speed is close to 15 mph and I wanted a ball to smooth out the transition. What I got was easily the most controllable ball in my arsenal. If you are looking at the HK22 line of balls, this one should be on your radar!!!

TOP SPEED!!!
Move in, throw it out and strike a ton. The Top speed gives long and strong motion. A shiny that really hooks in oil. Combined with the Speed this is a deadly combo. Perfect ball up or ball down combo to stay in the same area. Has great recover when wild missed shots out happen. Very forgiving. For sure goes with me everywhere.

New Favorite!
Do yourself a favor and order this ball TODAY! I've only thrown it a few times, but it has already made its way to the first ball out of my bag. The new HK22 cover is fantastic and gave me more length with a nice continuous look. It doesn't go as long as my Quantum Evo Pearl and doesn't have as sharp of an angle off the spot, but they compliment each other very well. My go to style is down and in with little revs and this is one of the first balls that has given me quite a bit of miss room to the right. I love it!

Love the HK22 cover
I am loving this ball. The new HK22 cover is fantastic. A great ball for me later in the block. To compare it to other HK22 covers: I get more length and more hook of the spot than with the Defender Hybrid. Overall hook is the same as the 3D Offset Attach, but I get about 3 feet more length with the Top Speed then the 3D Offset Attack. To compare it to other pearl reactive covers: This ball picks up faster than the Black Widow Ghost and has more overall hook.

Columbia 300 – Top Speed
The Top Speed is the next generation of asymmetric pearl technology. Combining the Formula 1 cover that was utilized in the Speed, with the new HK22 additive has lead to the cumulation of an asymmetric pearl that is shiny, colorful AND provides more forgiveness in medium to heavier oil patterns. The Top Speed is powered by the Shifter core with the advanced cover-stock coming from the factory with siaair pads 500, 1000, 1500 and finished with Crown compound. The end result is not only a ball that performs but looks good as well.
I took my Top Speed and put my favorite asymmetric layout (65 x 4.75 x 35). It is very responsive to typical house patterns but it has seemed to be more effective on those patterns that are heavier in volume. This is most likely due to my slower ball speed so your results may vary.
However you decide, the Top Speed is the first in the Columbia 300 family with the HK22 additive and should be the first one into your bag.
