Argh! My Link cracked!
« on: December 17, 2012, 02:27:16 PM »
Started in the track area, and went around the ball, but hasn't come close to my grip area or finger or thumb holes. :(

RIP, little guy. I'll miss you.

And an update... my Link finally cracked around the whole thing, from finger hole to the other finger hole. My kid sure is excited to bust it open, though!

Lol I love doing that! Any word on 900 G helping you out? I could of overlooked it, but I didn't read that anything you have done would have voided anything....but there's only a 1 year warranty though right?  I'd be sad, one of the better bowlers in one of my leagues really relies on his link for the 3rd game every week!  Good luck with the replacement...I always have a tough time doing so....it never works out right :(

I guess it's stronger than I thought. I can't wait to put holes in my NCode then!

WHAT????

The NCode is a pseudoparticle ball with an asymmetric core. It handles twice the oil of any Hook??

Oh, I know. If the Hooks are that strong, I can't wait to throw the NCode! Beast!

I have had balls from about every company crack. Seems like 3 900's, but also 3 or 4 Columbia and 2 after they moved, 2 Ebonite and one each for Brunswick and Storm. In some cases they were several years old and a couple were only a few months old. I keep my equipment in my house and try to never leave anything in a vehicle overnight so normally temperature variations aren't an issue. One common denominator seems to be its always balls that are extra aggressive for that particular ball. So always wondered if the resin mix might have been on the high side for that particular run.

If a weaker reaction is what you need you might consider the Cobra SE. I just received mine and will drill it up next week. I am setting this one up for late travel league where we roll 6 games with 5 man teams. Does get a bit dry towards the end. I'll post the results after next months league. I know the reaction was weaker than my Hook and Missing Link pearls at the demo days event here in Dallas.
