I know 3 people, as well as myself, who have bought this ball... and 2 of the three balls have cracked... that's right the 1-2mm skin on the ball likes to crack, I guess it's a known issue as the manufacturer has sent my friend and I new balls that have a different skin from a different batch...

I would not suggest this ball to anyone and would pay for a extended warranty if I was forced to buy this! I will also note that when I brought this ball to my pro shop they said that a lot of these balls are bad, and they are bad balls in general.

I am a regional PBA member and have used the EPX T1 in league and on a PBA condition and I can say this is the worst ball that I have ever owned. If the ball hits a dry spot is burns out and dies and does not carry the corners. The ball also has a odor that you can smell when you are getting ready in your approach.

This ball is great for oily lanes if you need friction on the inside use this ball it will tear right into the pocket. I've already gotten 6 300 games with it, thanks bowlingball.com for the great deal!

When I first purchased the ball Iloved it. Even though it was a sponge when it came to soaking up oil. A couple of months after I shot my only 300 game, it came back from a shot with a crack all of the way around the ball. I had the ball over a year and I didn't get any response from Columbia about the ball. I used to be a Columbia man but not any more.

I love the Columbia 300 EPX T1 bowling ball. I just got it today and shot a 289, 276 ,and a 248. I am a youth bowler and paid $270 for the ball. I feel there is nothing wrong with it.

I am sorry I bought this ball, It has done nothing for me, my first one broke and unfortunately Columbia replaced it with another one and it took 5 weeks for them to do so. So now the ball just sits in my closet.

I purchased the Columbia EPX T1 bowling ball late Oct 06 and used it for 3 months before it broke into 2 pieces. I really loved the product but when it broke into two it leaves me no choice but to search elsewhere for a different type of ball. But when I used this ball it was like no other ball I've had before. Ask me what I thought before it broke into 2 I would've gave you 5 stars hand's down.

bowlingball.com comment: The issues with this ball have been resolved. We have had to replace less than 1 percent of the balls since they have corrected this issue.

While this ball has a monster hook and killer pin action, it has some other serious issues. The smell that it gives off isn't a problem, I can get used to it. I bought this ball and had it drilled 2 days after receiving it. It only took a week to have a big chunk of the ball fall out. It was quickly replaced by bowlingball.com and I had to wait a week to get the replacement ball drilled. While the replacement ball reacted better and was easier to control it only lasted 3 weeks before it cracked. I would never recommend this ball to anyone and I will strongly recommend against anyone who is looking at buying one.

bowlingball.com comment: Most of the issues have been corrected, to date we have only had to replace less than 1 percent of the newer balls.

Jekyll or Hyde? No cracking for me, just unbelievable maintenance necessary! Continuous hot water baths have failed to keep this ball working properly for more than 2 or 3 games, bowling on heavy oil. Only hooks about half of when brand new and that only lasted about 4 games also. Not having any problems with corner pins as when new, have managed to adjust my stroke to suit the ball. Can't recommend this ball, solely based on ridiculous amount of care needed.
