Looks very interesting but I would question
Is it USBC approved since it is not the "production model"?

Did they run the oil machine?  Was there any oil in it.....

Its not the same ball.. the Action is not partical... look at teh pictures.. the ball says partical.. so its something else... not the same.. plus the real Action looks ay better.

Arsenal:

EPX-T1 - Heavy oil
Action- Heavy to Medium oil
Original Inferno - Medium oil
Smoking Inferno - Medium to Dry
Blue Dot - Spare ball

This is interesting since the first run of Action Packeds were miss hit as particle p.17.  This may have been an experimental ball.

Wow, nice find. Same color and core as the Robo, but with a particle version of the M80. Could be interesting...

it says it was a test ball so it is quite possible it could have been particle as well as resin test balls......
Also note that this cover has not been on any Columbia balls yet......

I double checked our paperwork from USBC, and we did send balls in to the USBC before we made the changes to the project. So this ball did get approved by he USBC. Sorry for the confusion.

Pulze - This is a real ball (I have one). The logo was made smaller after the first run. That's probably why this one looks a little "sloppy".

just curious to know what ball is it listed under on the usbc approved ball list? There is only one Action listed. As far as I know every core and or cover change has to be listed separately.
