New ball....Columbia
« on: December 07, 2005, 11:48:56 PM »
Had a friend say...you should see the new Columbia ball!

I saw it he said!

Ball was not EPX and was not Action.  What is he talking about.

I think EPX because of size of hook referred to!

rEgards,

That's overseas.  To my understanding, the next Epoxy breed will be in the early Spring(wouldn't that make that march/april?).  Seems like a long way to go.

the info that i got a couple of months ago was that the new ball in february was going to be the 2nd coming of the epoxy, however these plans seem to change very quickly at the columbia/track company.

Anyone remember that the machine was supposed to be out with an epoxy cover about 2 months ago, that changed, so i have no reason to suspect that the columbia release schedule wont

I have been throwing the Black Tester ball.  It hooks more than the EPX T1.  Similar length, very smooth, but more hook in the last half of the lane.  Doesn't hook quite as much as my Action drilled the same way.  Hits really good, have shot over 700 with it on wood house shot, when there has been enough oil (3 times).  No cracking or anything, don't know what core it has.  Think I heard something about spring release, but I could be wrong about that one.
