The seller just added those photos and more of a description after he originally listed these ball. Now I have no doubt they are legit. I still would want more info on them before I spent that much money on an epoxy ball since the EPX was such a bust for most people.

Just my opinion but thanks to the seller for clarifying..

I'll agree....I thought they were questionable...but with the additional information the seller has posted most of those questions have been answered.

The only remaining one is are they USBC approved?

tgs300,

I see no way these could be USBC approved. These are test balls for balls never even manufactured so no reason that the test balls would be approved..

I bowled team in Corpus Christi with a guy using an AMF epoxy ball.
It was an "overseas" release. Ball burnt the pattern up really quickly, and pOd the rest of the righties, bowling with us.

He used it on a 40 ft. Sport shot yesterday, made the shot look stupid - easy.
Ball does roll through anything.

Duke-
I believe the ball you are referring to is the Project X which was an international release with the same EPX cover and a Triumph core.  This ball was released for the Asian market and there a few floating around the US.  The ball resembles the EPX, smells like it, and rolls just as strong.

Eric,

I think that was the name.
It did look just like the EPX.
It was interesting to see how it absorbed oil and darkened.
He loved the ball. He is some type of AMF staffer. His name is DANIEL SVEHLA, he's about 20 years old.

The balls on eBay didn't look anything like the ball he was using.
His ball looked like a regular EPXt1, with a different logo.

I was wondering. If these balls were never released, and never approved by the usbc/abc, how can they have a supposed $280 retail price?

 The seller is saying that was the retail price, but if they were never on the open market, they CAN'T have a retail price, can they?

Anything can have a MSRP slapped on it before it's release or even made.

As fun as it mite be to try one, the seller just added that the balls are not USBC legal, and if they arn't i personally see no reason in buying them.

These balls are a great concept though, i loved the Triumph core and with a strong cover like these have it would make a flooded lane feel like dry one.

Project X is approved but for the ball on the first post, it's not legel if the cover is different than the normal Terminal Velocity.  
Buyers be aware

If you would see the latest add on ebay for the velocity I have stated it is banned from wibc use.I also have a buy it now price of $61.00,it was brought to my attention that these are not wibc approved by the wibc.Some here think I was trying to scam some people,first the velocity was wibc approved and even the box said it was approved.When I was contacted by the wibc reguarding this ball I went to my adds on ebay and added that it was banned from wibc use.Last thing if Amf wanted to approve this ball they could do so,this ball is sooo much better than the columbia epoxy imho.
