Apex Bullets

[loaded weapon]

does anybody know if they are still in business? No update on their Facebook page or twitter since November. The only ball on their website is a derby ball. Nothing to do with NSA at all

 

[hitless45]

Thought i read back around november/october that they were not going to make that ball anymore.. didn't hear that they were going out of business tho..

 

[The BP Hero]

Can't remember the specific announcement, but I know all Apex balls have been banned from NSA play.

 

[loaded weapon]

Found the non approved list and they are definitely on there.

Spoke to William a couple months ago and was targeting March to have approved balls again.

do you know what happened for them to be banned?

Hit them next to another single layer ball and you'll get your answer.

They weren't to spec.

 

[The BP Hero]

Not even close, IMO.

^^^^ Truth. There was a reason they were always sold out and everyone was hitting them or trying to find some to buy. Some of the homers I hit with them were majestic though....

Yep... when I'm hitting balls near the tracks at SV then something isn't right.

Warning track or train track?

PIAS in Fairview Heights had a ton of them last time I was there. I'd have grabbed some but you can't use them anywhere.

Haha... you know there's no warning track there.

I'll buy all of them you can get
Our league allows any 52 cor ball

 

[The BP Hero]

They got shut down because of their 44's. I don't feel like their 52's hit any better than anything else on the market.

I just loved the antifreeze they used to prevent thermal degradation :bs2:

 

[LBB_82]

Fireball ?

Sounds like they shoulda spent a little more time working on a consistent design :bigok:

 

[Foose]

Yea the 52s werent that great but the 44's were awesome. I'll buy all the 44 bullets anyone can get their hands on. We still use em in our tourneys around here

I got some of the derby balls a while ago. So crazy !

 

[D_Simms1IA]

Hit these if you want to break in your bat QUICK or just break it.

 

[Bobby Buggs]

You wanna break your bats in quick hit these Evil HotMax 44-575s,

Bill's been saying that for years. Originally he was going to have the Amish stitch them. I don't have a vested interest in them either way but Apex is within an hour from me and even someone as pessimistic as I am is going to naturally pull for a local. Hopefully he gets his affairs in order and the ball comes out. And they don't cost $15 apiece.
