I saw those this morning as well and have heard nothing about an epoxy ball coming out from AMF, especially with all the problems with the EPX.

I would be leary to buy until more info can be found..

Didn't AMF have the epoxy technology first? Remember when Ozio and Duke threw that test ball at bowl expo some years back? I believe it was epoxy.

yea but the reserve has not been met..

The descriptions of the 2 balls are terrible.. Are they NIB? No specs or anything listed.. I wonder if these are some type of blem balls this guy is trying to pass off as epoxy balls?

AMF did have 3 different colors of the epoxy Velocity at the bowling seminars 2 summers ago.

The difference in hook character of the balls was kept in check by the color of the ball. Allegedly the only difference among them was the curing time.

The longer the ball took to cure the less it hooked.

Very impressive piece of technology at the time....the oil absorption tesats, cleaning regimens etc were all very informative by the AMF guys.

I don't think he was saying they are blems.  I think he was asking if they are since the info provided by the seller was so uninformative.

Something is very wrong with this, first of all because that is nothing close to the velocity testers they showed. All the epoxy balls are a solid color, and not a light flashy color like that. Plus one looks glossy, and as anyone with experience with the EPX it never gets that shiney.

I have definitely seen the blue Velocity before.  The AMF rep from the Chicago area brought one into the shop a week or so before Bowl Expo last year.  This was when AMF was still supposed to be the only company producing the epoxy balls.  It looked just like the one in the auction.  Blue with the phasing and the two-toned label.  He had it shiny as well.  It had the same nasty chemical sent as the EPX T1.  That was the only thing he hated about it.  The funky odor.  He told us to be "hush-hush" about it because it was officially being introduced at Bowl Expo.  Hopefully it's been long enough and he won't get in trouble.

I remember him saying it had a pretty weak core but still hooked a lot.  Of course this was when there was still a bunch of hype about the new technology.  He also said that there were a few other colors out there and that they all differed in the amount of hook depending on the curing time.  He said they had played with a few that went dead straight and others that hooked at your feet, the only diference being the curing time.

If the aqua one has the Triumph core I think I just might have to get one.  The color is pretty cool.  Kind of like a Nitro/R on steroids.
