EPX T1 from Columbia300 is the name you seek.
Ball had design issues where the resin from the core never attached properly to the filler material. This then created voids which grew larger through impacting the pins to the point where one good hit would completely shatter the ball.
Biggest damage I have ever repaired was an optyx kryptkeeper clear plastic ball. Ball hit a screw left in the gutter, and a similar sized chunk to the Virtual Gravity shown earlier in the thread came clean off. To repair it, I drilled around 2dozen "anchor holes" into the ball for the plugging to stick to, and plugged in 4 stages. Then after plug cutting it, ran it through my Haus resurfacing machine to get it perfectly back to round.
Total process took around a week to complete, as well as enough plugging to normally full plug 3 bowling balls. All because of a lazy tech!
