Ball review:
My Epidemic was drilled with my favorite layout (pin over fingers and cg straight down) and creates good length without too much dramatic backend. I use mine mostly on easier house patterns between 39-42 feet in length, and saves a lot of energy in the end to knock down all pins in the deck.

Ball review:
The Epidemic is a very strong ball, for me a bit too strong. I mostly use the Epidemic when the outside dries up and I have to stand all the way to the left. I think it has a reaction similar to the Eruption, but just a lot stronger, and able to cover more boards. I would recommend this ball to bowlers with a weak hand (few revs), whereas those with a strong hand and low speed should go for the Eruption instead.

Epidemic is a really cool looking ball with a unique color combination. This ball just hooks loads with a really snappy backend. Just great when you need to move left, just throw it right and it will hook back.

The new Epidemic looks sick and it is sick!
This ball just hooks a bunch. It has nice length and a really strong, snappy backend. This ball will do very well if you need to move left and throw it right without wondering if it will hook back.
The Epidemic will catch a lot of attention both going down the lane and hitting the pins.

The Epidemic looks different than other balls the coloring is unique and makes this ball stand out. Reaction wise it is a longer and stronger version of the Infection. When the Infection begins to struggle on the back end switch to the Epidemic and watch the pins fly once again. If you are looking for something to open up the lanes and play deep look no further. An Epidemic is the answer.
