you guys are a trip. go to columbia300.com and read the article on the epx.
It has the same bleeding problem the older u-dots had. It is a EPX they had on t.v.!

quote:
Just replay some of the PBA telecasts and look at the color of the pin for comparison to what the production models have. Occasionally you will see they are different colors which means they are different balls which just appear to look like the production model. This is nothing new, it's been going on for years.



So it's an "old boys club" where "everyone" knows that "everyone else" cheats a little so it's ok?  And they want to talk about integrity?

Also understand that the PBA does not follow all of the USBC rules.


I know.  They do have different rules like the left/right switching thing.  But as far as equipment goes, "approval" for the PBA means the check cleared.  As I said, I would expect them to follow mostly the same rules equipment-wise as the USBS.  Second, this was not a PBA tournament, it was a USBS tournament.  If Muscato used a "special" EPX, even if it's "wink-wink" in the PBA, the USBS is well within their rights to call him on it.

So does anyone want to explain how they are suppose to test each ball to see if it has the same cover/core then the rest of the balls?  This is a practice that has gone on for years.  You can't cut open every ball that someone throws...
