I said it looks like it, that's all.
But, it is interesting Evil is producing a 1 piece ball like Tattoo did earlier this year

I don't find it interesting that a company would diversify and offer more products.

And they actually came out late last year. I think there's room in the market for two one piece balls. Price and performance will dictate success.

True.... although Buggs was bashing Tattoo over their one piece as being a "cage ball"..... and then this

Cage ball?? No actually it was the knock off of the Evil BP ball. But I thought you were done, and then this misinformation , anything else before we move on to the FuseTech ball discussion.

Let move on, I'm curious. The NX3 ball I used was pretty nice so....Cage ball?? No actually it was the knock off of the Evil BP ball. But I thought you were done, and then this misinformation
I'm just a small fish here but I would like to hear what this tech brings that's better than the comparable ball that's already out.

We are in discussions with the manufacturer to make our variation of the molded cover ball. Its too early to say nor am I willing to discuss our direction at this time. I can tell you if we move in this direction we will own the market on this ball in a short period of time. There are some problems with this concept people are not talking about that have to be resolved before we would commit to it.

52-300, Class M, Classic +, NSA 275 would be the direction

We will not be releasing any of these until problems are resolved. When we deliver this product we dont want customers being test dummies. Until that time we will continue to work to produce the best traditional style Evil ASA HOT 52-300

I have had mixed results with NX3's. The 52/300 seemed to perform well while the 52/275 Classic+ don't. The 44's were about average.

How is there a No Evil rule when they are association certified?? Where is this?

Because some league directors don't want to allow the balls in their leagues? Seems pretty simple.
Same for the leagues we play in, we can't you the NX3's

Its not just pretty simple, like that. If its a sanctioned league, and Buggs pays for the sanction fees to get the stamps, legally he's being swindled.

Its far from Simple, we go to great lengths and expense to make sure our products meet association standards for approval. If the league is following the association guidelines for approved equipment then how is this simple.
It's not simple for you and the other manufacturers, but it's simple for the LDs, they just say "No NX3, No Evils, No Rocks, etc." My league wanted to ban the NX3s and there are accounts on these forums about no Rocks, Evils, etc. There are some challenged people out there that say things like "I don't care what the stamp says, Ball X is the harder than Ball Y" or "That ball is doing things I have never seen a ball do before." You can show them a stamp and they don't care. Their mind is made up.
My question to you and other manufacturers is what can you do about it? The leagues have the authority to modify various rules, right? For example, our "ASA" league lets us use any bat that is not on a banned list. Others have said that as well. Last season, they tried to ban the balls I was using even though they had the current stamp. They still might now that the season is over and we wait for the next one to start.
I'm not trying to rub it in or be an ass, I really want to know what you can do. I mentioned to our league that the maker of the balls they wanted banned would not be happy, but they didn't care. Is it worth your time to go after some small league that has banned your equipment? Or do you go to ASA and have them contact the league? Again, the league can modify the rules, right?
