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.

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.

Go read my post on your thread about beating SCB hands down. I still stand behind the SCB and my post, and will match my SCB up against your EPT oe whatever alphabet ball columbia makes. Anyone that knows Lane 1 will know that IF, and I said it in capital letters because it is a big IF, it were to beat the SCB, it would not be hands down or pins down in size.

Who cares if the launch of this new ball had a few blems... mines fine...
When the excalibur, the first reative came out, there were plenty of them craking too...
Dont be so close minded.

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.

8 weeks on a 40 foot heavy oil shot in league... Average 238
Most of the people can't even get there balls to finish on it.. and the ones that try my line just sail through the flood into the 3 pin.
I tried Ultimate Inferno.. Super Carbide Bomb and EPX.
EPX smoked em all....

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.....

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.
