Am i the only one who likes my EPX?
« on: September 01, 2005, 12:04:08 PM »
This ball for ME is everything i expected and more...this ball just never quits and it allows me to move in on shots i never could before...this gives me a different angle of attack...also carydown really isint an issue for me with this ball it rolls right through it....plus for me the carry is great!  I have it layed out 3-3/4x4 with no weight hole...i have a softer speed (14-15 mph) with medium revs...does anyone have anything good to say about this ball? all im seeing is negative...

I have had mine for a week now and think it's great!I laid it out according to the drill sheet for the medium layout and the ball destroys! It does not look like it is hitting that hard but it carries very well. It seems to work well on anything medium to heavy oil. It gets rid of over/under as good as anything I've ever thrown. When the lanes are tough,it gives me maybe two more boards than any other ball and two boards is a lot!! I am looking forward to drilling one in the strong position.

I have to say that I am a big fan of the EPX.  For me it is the ultimate control ball, it doesnt seem to notice over/under at all.

I have played with it at 3 tournaments now, all of which have had different patterns, and the exp has had a similar forgiving reaction on all of them.

Cant wait to see what the other Epoxy balls are like!

Where's your proof on this?  I haven't been around a lot lately, but don't remember any posts about the epoxy being deleted.  There still seems to be plenty of negative stuff posted, but mostly by you and ptommy.  Ironhorse (a pretty trustworthy source) posted some negative comments, and that post is still active.

I hate to so this but if I have to clean a ball after every series and pay a high price tag for the ball, it simply isn't worth it. Come on now, If you don't clean it after the first 5 games out of the box, it will loose it hook. That doesn't makes sense at all. I love Columbia's stuff but this ain't adding up.............

I understand exageration, but where are they being discounted at?  I dont expect to find one for free, but for a good price I will check into it.  Hacksaw said there are blems all over the place and I have used blems before and liked some of them.  So, where can I find them?
