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.

LOL, you were just *looking* for an excuse to talk about the EPX again weren't you?....

Crackhead_Inferno: Give it a rest; Lochman's problem was execution -- not the Enriched Uranium.

Take your love feast with Epoxy back over the the Columbia forum. You're barking in the section for recruiting members to your lost cause.

"Sometimes, the best move is the one we don't make"

I know a pro shop owner who won't sell the EPX and refuses to stock it anymore.

Psssst....the EPX is the worst ball ever made.

I have thrown mine for 5 games and it cracked.

Psssst.....also it wouldn't hook on medium oil lanes and it hooked even less on the heavy oiled lanes....psssst....Columbia300 told me it needed lots of oil to perform....these guys must really crank the crud out of the EPX to make it hook...it's a $250 spare ball.

My opinion..ignore as needed.

The 7 Pin is my NEMESIS

Ultimate Inferno, the only ball I like

yeah they epx is a piece of trash, my friend has one and it cracked after 10 games, and he almost never uses it now. he uses a hammer 3d offset and its kills the epx. i also saw a guy throw an epx right after he got it, after three frames, guess wat, it cracked! and the guy who runs my local proshop says he hates them, he has something like 5 epxs to fix. and as of movement, that thing does not move in heavy oil unless u use A LOT of hand
