barring the real answer which is an 80's model dodge minivan (oh that doesn't suck oil it burns it) i say an EPX (which i own but not the one).

I've heard that the EPX T1 has a faulty coverstock which causes the ball to crack open and in some cases actually fall to pieces. Later I saw a ball in my local proshop that had a huge crack that went all the way around the ball. It was an EPX T1. I own The One, and it has let me down a great deal. I can't get it to react. I haven't tried sanding off some of the 4000 polish it comes with yet. Performance wise I'd have to say the EPX T1 is superior for as long as the ball may go before breaking.

Look for me in the upcoming PBA Tour! I'll be the guy in the back row with the foam finger singing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" during the 7th inning.

I really think the use of the wording "soaks up more oil" is kind of misleading. I believe the major difference is that they (Ebonite) went back to a thicker shell. This gives more capacity for oil absorbtion but i do not believe the rate of absorbtion to be changed from a standard ball. Could be wrong but had asked some staffers at the tour stop this question and thats what they shot me with. Could be wrong and maybe thats why they went with such a smooth (measured in grit) surface as not to make such a footprint in the oil.
ED Gallagher can you please help.
