The Epoxy ball is COMING!!!!
« on: June 09, 2005, 03:26:38 AM »
I was on my distributors website today and saw 4 new balls coming from big C. The big one was the EPX T1 Epoxy in the high performance section. Color is purple. No specs given at all. Priced at about $20 more than my cost on the Bully line.

Other new balls:

Power Drive-Silver/Cream/Purple
U Turn Purple/Gold/Teal Pearl
U Turn Particle Teal/Red/Black

Hey Clint,

Is this the ball my local pro shop guy said that if you had any
kind of hand it was in the channel about 3 ft past the arrows?

Just checkin

The great thing I have HEARD about the Epoxy is the manufacturer can determine how much hook the ball has by doing something to the cover. Not really sure, but they can control it by adding/taking something out, something along those lines. So, yes, they can make one that hooks into the gutter at the arrows or go dead straight. It is very versatile for the manufacturer. I am looking forward to seeing the ball first hand when one arrives for the Columbia Elite pro shop program samples I receive!

My guess would be it's just like Particle balls.  Yes you can make a particle ball that hooks a ton if you put a high load of particles in it, but not every particle ball hooks at your feet.  So I don't see why they can't change something in the coverstock to make it more controlable.

Thanks, I can hardly wait to see one for sure. I am not one
who would need such a ball. I have enough trouble with the
ones I have. Sheesh with my slow speed and hand quantity I
am one who can hook a blue dot 10 boards or more...dang.

One of those hookers in my hands would only spell DISASTER...

I thought that the varaiation of the epoxy resulted in the curing time, the longer the more hook.  I wonder what type of core, since if the cover will or supposed to hook so much?

I really don't remember the difference or what is in it and how they contro it...it has been almost a year since my trade show (coming up next month) and pretty much all the specifics Fig told me then.

H-

I think I remember Fig telling us they could use any core they wanted, the cover controlled how much the ball hooked. The test balls at the trade show last year had Icon 300 cores in them, but they were simply left overs they could use for testing in the test balls. I have no clue about the core in this ball.

Yeah, mid-lane deadwood retrieval will involve a much longer pole now. LOL
