EPX T1 Shattered
« on: September 13, 2005, 06:36:07 PM »
I received a new EPX T1 ball 2 weeks ago. Bowl 3 games on heavy oil and loved the complete roll through out. I rolled one game last night and in the tenth
frame picked the ball up from the return and saw a chip the size of a dime
and about a 1/8th inch deep.Boy was I mad. I then looked harder at it and saw
what only can be described as an egg being cracked. This ball is toast. If I roll it down the lane it would shatter in at least 3 or 4 big chunks that's
how bad it looks. I saw another post about a crack by a finger hole and I'm wondering if there is more of this type of problem out there?

i know these epoxy balls are starting to sound like real problems.....  i think give columbia about 2 more releases and they will get it right...... i can guarantee i wont drill the epx t1 but if they come out with another one i think they will fix the problem

I am very disappointed in this ball and Columbia, I just don't agree with putting out a ball for us the consumer to buy and test for them at the prices they ask us to pay. It's ridiculous to pay well over two hundred bucks for simply a test ball. I love Columbia's equipment but I am very disappointed.......

Met a guy at a local shop.  He tried to plug and redrill EPX for a different reaction. Poured plug into finger holes and it came out of the thumb hole.  There was an internal crack in the ball.  He got the ball replaced.

Sounds like it would be better used as a boat anchor.
