Cracked ball #3!
« on: February 21, 2012, 08:24:02 AM »
Darn it!  I was getting ready to go to league last night and wanted to change up one of my regular balls that I been bringing (4 ball arsenal) and took out my Hammer Epidemic and grabbed my original Break.  Well, my Break was broke!  Split in half from the pin to the thumbhole all the way around.  This is my third ball to crack like this (all the way around) and all of them were 900 Global balls.  First was the Break Pearl, then the Bank, and now the Break.  All my balls are kept in my enclosed garage that does not fluxuate too much in temperature (no snow or heatwaves here).  Getting costly here! 


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

I had a ball 2 weeks ago crack all the way around the equator of the ball.    This ball was 16 years old and never was drilled.   For 16 years it was thrown in a back room basement, with much temp changes.
 
I brought it home, gave it a nice consistent temp, on the 2nd floor bed room.   Within  2 months it cracked all the way around the ball, while for 16 years just thrown aside it was fine.

ive noticed  this happens with all the brands not just global  and ive noticed if the ball is setting on the floor  it tends to drawl the moisture out of the ball and they all seem to crack  but if i keep them on the rack so air can get around them they tend to be fine.

any way this was my 2 cents here 

hope it helps

I may agree with your theory. I usually leave my balls in the trunk of my car....3 of them in a bag and with the freezing temperatures and high heat and never had one ball crack or any issues like that. Knew someone that kept his balls in the bowling alley's lockers that was the bottom locker and had two balls crack. They were not kept in a bag though.
