I recently rolled the EPX-T1 - The Super Carbide Bomb - and the Ultimate Inferno in a test simulation. I am a power Tweener, with above average speed.
Lane condition: Heavily flooded oil, 38ft pattern, out of bounds outside 5.
This lane condition is considered one of the hardest to get a ball to trully finish, when playing a 12 to 6 shot.
Results:
EPX-T1 - Set up well, finished hard, carried perfectly.
Super Carbide Bomb - Never set up, sailed through the 3 pin continualy
Ultimate Inferno - Never set up, sailed through the 3 pin continualy
Click this link top find out why:
http://www.columbia300.com/innovation/techdocs.cfm?id=21
The reason is that reactive resin and reactive resin particle both have a series of small holes that they use to create surface friction to grab the lane.
Since the EPX-T1 is not reactive resin it does not have millions of tiny holes, holes that trap oil in the ball, oil that is really hard to get out. The EPX-T1 is an Epoxy shell, the first of its kind. The surface has thousands of dents or valleys on the surface, but they are only visible with a very high powered microscope. These valleys are sometimes 50 times the size of a reactive resin hole, but they are not holes, just fisures used to grab the lane. These valley act like small suction cups, making the ball rough and very very grippy. They create the most friction to date, and make the ball hook in the heaviest of oils, without over-reacting.
The best part is that this new epoxy shell has a really cool feature.
To clean the shell and rejuvinate the ball, and to remove oil from the valleys, just fill a sink with scolding tap water, and set the ball in the water with the water line on your track (keep all the holes, above the water line. Use a cork in a weight hole if its to low) Wait 20 minutes, pull the ball out and wipe off the lane oil.
The ball is suddenly good as new. Maby people did not know this and thought the ball lost its hook. With this technology you can do this every 20 - 30 games and the ball will continue to roll like new for a very ong time.
It is simply a new technology, and you can't approach this ball as though its another reactive resin.

I doubt it, the EPX is suppose to be a smooth ball, correct ?

Haha, that's barely a house shot in most areas... and if anything would be considered a fairly SHORT oil pattern... Try a 45ft or 48ft or even the notorious 50ft pattern if you want to talk about heavy oil... The other 2 were probably just burning up

I threw both ablls on the same flood with an unbias hand.. and was amazed...,
Both balls were drilled the same too....
I love my SCB, but if I encounter heavy oil, I pull out the EPX first.

To make the story short, I normally rip through oil ok..... and this sh!t was total soup.... I never even seen this kind of oil befiore.. thats how bad it is...
a 50 foot oil pattern is a joke.... what kind of retard would pay to bowl on that kind of sh!t.
Bottom line is this..... No matter what lane condidtion it was.. the SCB failed miserably to fnish, hell it couldn't even set up.... Epoxy is a totally different surface.. that provides a totally different surface friction than resin/resin particle in heavy oil. It like comparing Urethane to Reactive resin in the old days.

Me, a few years ago the Boot Hill was conducted on a 50 ft pattern.

EDIT: Not to mention he's also the same person who says that extracting oil from a reactive ball (by the hot water technique) will ruin it.....

so how do you resurface this ball and keep the thousands of little dents or valleys?
Post by: Cranking_Inferno on January 12, 2006, 10:44:52 PM
Funny thing is... you dont need to resurface it.. just put it in hot water for its bath every 15 games or so...

I would love to be able to take the challenge; me and my SCB against your EPT (oops, I meant EPX; LOL). There are variables that I am sure that have not been discussed as to your self comparison of the two balls. Maybe for you the ball did not set well; then again maybe you were never taught how to properly handle a Saw. Until I see it in a professional testing real, I would not begin to believe your claim that the SCB could not set up to the pocket.
You are entitled to your opinion, and if we ever were to meet, prepare yourself for the power that IS a BuzzSaw, in the hands of one that understands how to use it.
