So what's your point? Is this yet another one of those "The EPX Is A Dud" topics?

actually it is sort of true, they have indeed taken back balls from some of their dist., exchanged them, not buying them back, giving the dist. full credit and appling it to other msde.
also i have heard that some dist. also did this with their local pro shop
customers. they also exchanged some epx that some shops felt they were stuck with,
just goes to show you that there are a few good quality dist. out there, and it also speaks well of columbia for being willing to help their dist. by exchanging the balls.
got this info from my dist. 4 minutes ago.
so sammy, you did not do or say anything wrong.

I have no problem with that. The EPX bashing though is like beating a dead horse. If you and others would use something called the search function you'd see that the EPX issues that some folks have experienced have been covered a million times already.

NOW I IS NO SHAKESPHERE, but that sounds to me like a good thing we were saying about columbia and some of their dist.

twoheadedboy - Therein lies the problem. If you have such a problem with my ability to call people on their misconceptions, why don't you just avoid the threads then hypocrit? Pray tell, have you even had an EPX to warrant calling it a "dud?"

i just don't understand it. i really don't know why this person thinks we "was" a bashing columbia.
i thought we "was a" saying good "stuff bout them."
stated that they were indeed standing behind their product by taking back some balls shows me that columbia is a class outfit.
I agree that Columbia is top notch and they always stand behind their products.
Once you said this I took it personal:

Did you forget what you had typed? Sammy the sage's post was nothing more than poking fun at Columbia and I simply called him on it. I never was addressing you until you decided to make that comment above. Heck, my second comment on this topic wasn't even meant to address you, it was toward baltimora. Scroll up and see for yourself. Seriously dude, lay off of the drugs.

ps
for all you people that bought epx's and paid more than $100 with shipping.
don't you feel stupid now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmmmmmmm...I know, it's hard to follow your own 5th grade logic here but stick with me. So by your rationale, anyone who buys a ball for less than what others have makes them feel stupid? It's everyone's choice whether they want to purchase a ball from their local pro shop or off of the internet. I personally never buy a ball as soon as it is released. I will wait and read up on it first to decide whether it will fit my game. I am also the type to scour the internet for the best deal. But to each his own.
P.S. - I am really enjoying this jls31316. Keep dumbing yourself down with each and every post you make.

i don't know sammy's history so i can't comment on whether he did it for noise pollution purposes. just looking at his statement alone it appears to be relevant discussion fodder. my suggestion would be to add him to your ignore folder. my point is that many here get their nose outta joint at the slightest provocation. i once told a buyer whose account i serviced (who would scream at me at the top of his lungs when a problem occurred): "some day you are going to have a heart attack over these things. and guess what, i won't care. i imagine someone will. do yourself a favor and calm down."

So, you want to take a completely unfounded shot at Columbia, then want to get offended when people take offense at your rambling? *sigh*
Yes, Columbia didn't market this ball well. But from what I've seen, everyone who has given this ball an honest chance to preform on the intended lane conditions has been happy. Looks like a great ball for wet/dry or taking the lane condition out of play.
I don't know who jls31316 is, but he needs to take a trip to the wizard to see about a "brane".

Yes, I did take a cheap shot at you, but if you ever posted anything worth reading on this site, I would have let your other (deleted) post go. Next time I'll quote the post so I won't look bad in hindsight. People like you and BrianCRX90 never offer anything useful to the board. Only pessimism and complaints. Never anything to promote the sport or help another poster.
Sammy's post implies that all or many EPX's are defective and Columbia will buy them back no questions asked, whether or not there is anything wrong with the ball. Even though Sammy says it a "no-recall" you know that's what he's implying.

Storm does this quite a bit too. Imagine if a distributor had to sit on every manufacturer's "Duds" every year. On my close-out list from my distributor there is no ball on the list from Storm higher than the Hot Rod Pro Stock. Which means to me that every high end Storm ball left over was bought back from the dist. by Storm.
By the way, I still use mine on the right condition, no cracking issues on any EPX that I've sold here in So. Cal.

I spelled it that way on purpose, that's why it was in quotations. I guess it flew right over your head. Certainly you have no room to make fun of anyone else's spelling or grammar.
And please tell me how you think you can take the high road after all the insults you post, even when nothing derogatory is said first. I didn't even feel like looking up the many barbs you have been throwing at Ragnar. I'm sure there are many other examples.

your right, sorta, poking fun and insulting people on the net. makes you look stupid.
now maybe if strider and sil lot had made it to the 5th grade…
people who do post at 4 am in their underwear do not concern me, nor do i care about their cute liitle tacky remarks, especially when they quote shakesphere or who ever.
do you just love these know it alls that love to put anyone down who doesn't agree with their point of view, and remember it's their web site, and don't put thrash on it. and than they show everyone how bad they are by knocking and insulting people.
sir lot, / strider get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shelly, may i call you shelly?
anyway, don't get ragnor upset, otherwise he will post shakesphere type things to you. and that might mess up your shooting at the 10 pin.
and whatever you do, don't say he drives a volvo, cause he don't
he "be a driving a pt."
also try not to mention raymond to him.
strider here on planet earth, BEER is the single most important thing in bowling.
and what planet do you play golf on?
no hate their, there is a sayan,
"dime a dozen", those two guys guys are not even "2 cents".
they just think they own this site and want everyone to kiss their butts. and if you dare to prove them wrong or have a different view, your in the 5th grade and need a BRANE!!!!!!!! did they mean BRAIN?????

you like several others probably did not like the fact that maybe sammy the sage was accurate in his post, so you choose to attack anyone who may not have taken your point of view.
