EPX T-1 vs. Ricochet EPX A-1
« on: February 02, 2007, 12:35:07 AM »
Folks have said these two are identical with the Ricochet version just being the overseas release of the T-1.  However have a look at the sites below and look at the lane reaction chart in the first link where it compares the two.  Also look at the cores in each.

The next two cores look identical:

The Ricochet version looks a tad stronger from that chart.

My 06-07 Arsenal:

  • Cobalt Bomb Solid (box finish, 4 x 3.5) = Medium/Heavy to Medium

  • Agent (box finish, stacked lev) = Medium

  • DOOM (box finish, label lev) = Medium to Medium/Light

  • Power Groove Dry/R (box finish, 5 x 4.5) = Light/Medium to Light

  • Red XXXL (box finish, label lev) = Dry

having drilled both, and having seen both in use,  i don't believe they are the same.  i think the cover on the AI ricochet is better,  seems to hold the line more, and seems to have more backend.

feedback from customers who have or had the first epx,  seems to be, they feel the second one is as strong in oil as the first, but with more backend,  and the cover seems to be easier to adjust.

plus i think the second one is by far a much better looking ball.  the first one always looked dirty or something.  people were always bringing the ball in and asking why it looks like it does.

have had no cracking issues with the second model.

right now they are on closeout from the big c.   great oil ball..
