- N’S@NE Antics

First Impressions
The Columbia 300 N'S@NE Antics (N'Sane Antics) brings a striking Blue, Yellow and Black hybrid design to the lane. Inside works the hefty asymmetric Hi-Spin core with a 2.500 RG and a massive 0.054 differential. The cover is the AR300 Hybrid Reactive Cover, brought to a 500, 1000 Abralon and Factory Finish polished texture out of the box. Thanks to the medium RG and the massive differential, the ball glides safely through the front part of the lane and digs in extremely hard in the backend.
Comparison
Comparing the N'Sane Antics to the Columbia 300 Mad Antics, the N'Sane shows drastically less early traction and a far more angular overall reaction in the dry, since it uses a polished hybrid cover. Against a ball like the Storm Snap Lock, the N'Sane Antics offers a very similar, massive hook thanks to its asymmetric design. As the transition changes the lane and friction increases, the smooth surface makes extremely good use of the energy.
On the Lanes
The Columbia 300 N'S@NE Antics is most at home on medium to heavy lane conditions. It's an outstanding option if you're looking for a dependable and extremely strong, angular ball motion. The asymmetric core creates an absolutely steady yet sharp move, which builds confidence when playing deep lines. The ball should ensure carry through a powerful entry into the pocket. On extremely fresh oil it can sometimes slide a little too far through the breakpoint.
