Its not Lane#1 .,. its the friction on oil..
« on: January 15, 2006, 07:15:34 AM »
No matter what "Loch"man did on tour, it comes down to this.  They put a fat shot out, one with lots of oil and the EU, though particle, could not make enough friction to set up and drive properly, nor manage the carry down.

On most heavy oil shots the Super Carbide Bown delivers realtivly well, due to its early read, early set up and delieverance due to its core's stored energy.  However, I have both the Super Carbide Bomb and the EPX.. and the EPX will set up and finish on ANY heavy flooded carry down pattern, no matter what... Reason is this, the EPX epoxy shell creates the friction needed to perform, resin doesn't always perform as well, even with a 3% blend of particle.  the EPX always performs on any heavy oil pattern. Period

Though this new technology had a shakey start, with a few cracks and blems, I would never roll any other ball on a heavy oil pattern than the EPX-T1 period...

Any epoxy shell that hits the market by Columbia is worth its weight in gold.

Well... I am not creating this to make Lane#1 fans get mad... I got a few Lane#1 balls coming.. I like Brunswick and columbia equally.  

But here is the $100,000 question.... When you bowl a long oil pattern that usually has lots of carry down.. Don't you want to throw the ball that gives you the best chance to score?

The answer is yes.. and I thought the ball in my arsenal that would give me that was the Super Carbide Bomb... But it labored heavily.. while the EPX absolutly dominated this pattern, scoring a 762 last night out.

I am just a believer in performance, and scoring well.... The company is just a small part.  

This new Epoxy technology has a few cracked balls.... The paradigm's shell has been cracking on a lot of people lately, but no one is gonna stop throwing Storm..

It all comes down to X's and O's..... WHEN I THROW MY EPX ON OIL, I SCORE SCORE SCORE ALL NIGHT LONG.... all I can say is what a ball.....

CI, hey, if the EPX is working for you, that's great, by all means use it. It just seems like you're in the minority here on this issue, and it's a small minority too.

I'll bet all you need to do is sand the Super Bomb. =:^D

I'm sure a surface change and area played change with the EU could have worked....but you only get 12 shots...he just didn't find it!

The 90's strips pattern put down for last weekends PBA tourney is NOT a high volume long pattern.  Better re-watch the show CI.  Try longish light volume with inconsistent heads/strips of oil with an OB.  

I'll wager to say that the EPX would have even sucked worse than Loschetter's choice of the EU plus his ball surface/layout didn't match up.
