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?

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 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.

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..

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.

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.

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?

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.

If the first-quality ball is approved, the Bonanza ball is as well.
Yes, if the Bonanza is a technical blem. The green/gray Epoxy Velocity has a different core/combination than the regular Velocity, so it's a different ball that must be approved.
