I got an EPX - T1 .... Wanna hear about it?
« on: October 05, 2005, 06:55:04 PM »
I am a resonable cranker
shot 288 245 246 = 779
     268 247 256 = 771
     267 215 233 = 715
 
Bowling on a medium to heavy oil shot, with dry back ends, some carry down in this house.
I have never seen a ball get pin action like this ball.. it hooks very well, going strong through the pocket.
Since I play a fast crank shot i keep it high in the pocket... left only (2) 10 pins in 3 weeks.
It reads the midlane perfect and the poxy shell will not let oil get in this ball.
Any one else throw one yet?

If you're leaving 10 Pins,doesn't that
mean that the ball is coming in a little
behind the head pin,causing the 3 pin to be
pushed straight back into the 6 pin,which then
goes around or lays in the gutter instead of
hitting the 10 pin? Seems to me, like it's the
operator,not the ball.
The more I practice,the luckier I get.

quote:
20 tenpins in 9 games.  Don't worry start drilling the pocket long enough they will stand.  After 2 in a row, switch balls, I repeat switch balls.  The ball carries very well high flush and light.  When you start crushing the hole it will start leaving blow out 10's all night.  When you move it become 2-8-10's and stuff like that.  



Flat or ringing?

Flat, burning up too much energy.

Ringing, too high of an entry angle or coming in too hot / skidding through the deck.

Either way, the ball doesn't leave 10 pins, the bowler leaves 10 pins.

Now, back to the EPX. The Original Poster asks us if we want to hear about the EPX T1.....Yes I do....And after that fluff post with a few scores & a non-descript "review" i'm still waiting to hear about it. And....

Good sir... do you see how the ball is getting darker in little rings around where your track is? That is the ball absorbing oil. Time & time again people are talking about how this thing sucks up oil faster than any other ball they've owned. I'm sorry to say it, but I'm call BS on the "poxy" shell theory you have.

I checked my friends ball after some games on it (40+ games) and already needs to be resurfaced because the track now has a flat spot all around the ball.  Is this a defect or just the way the new coverstock is surpose to be?
I want to try it but scared of all the recent problems I have heard about this coverstock.  My pro shop where I get my balls drilled is selling it for $245

Joey,
Let me know how the coverstock holds up after another 50 games or so.
