Another cracked ball
« on: October 07, 2011, 03:52:20 AM »
 I've had a few balls crack around the finger holes.  No big deal, it can be fixed, and the balls are still usable if i didn't have it fixed right away.  Some time last year, my S75 cracked from one of the fingers clear around to the thumbhole. First time that ever happened. I heard a few had the same experience.
I just pulled out my Bank from the box (haven't used it in a little while and stored it in the original box) and found the crack. Same thing, from the finger hole clear around to the thumb hole.
I have about 15 ball, not including my kids balls, all different brands, Hammer, Storm, AMF, 900 Global, Ebonite, Roto Grip. The only 2 that cracked like this were 900 balls. Switch grip and inserts could be partially to blame, but my other balls are fine.
So what's the problem?  Quality? Ball driller?  Storage?  All of the above?  
I like 900 products, but I cant be throwing out $200 in the trash.

I know it sounds like I'm in denial, but I'm not.

It will if you didn't put the cap on tight - LOL The loose cap actually ended up killing several plastic items in the cabinet including a plastic container that looked like a Salvador Dali work of art.

All the containers were the old Track lineup of ball surface products; actually the entire lineup.

These are no longer made so perhaps this is no longer and issue - in any case I sent them all to chemical disposal - just in case.

I had three balls with cracked bridges - one of the balls had a plug and the crack ran from plug to pin to finger hole.

Like raiderh20boy, I find it hard to understand, but I cannot say it did not happen.
But could the presence of the unclosed bottle have been a coincidence?

I also still have several original Track and one APP bottle of all that great stuff. It's on a shelf above my spinner, with many balls sitting on a rug maybe 4-5" away. My bottles are all tightly closed however. I don't want those vapors near where I breathe the air, as much as I can avoid them.
