Cracking problems
« on: August 01, 2010, 03:28:41 AM »
For starters, all of my balls are kept in the house.  I have a rack that holds 30 balls.  That said, a couple of weeks ago I noticed that 4 of my balls cracked.  BBP, S75, BP, and Seismic Aftermath.  This is my 2nd BPP to crack and I also had the original bounty to crack.  I have just about every manufactures ball on the rack and none of the others cracked. The part that hurts is that all of these balls had less than 15 games on them.  I talked to Dale and sent pictures. He said to tell my pro shop to bevel the edges of the finger holes like they were not going to install grips this relieves the pressure in the area around the hole and greatly reduces bridge and fissure cracking. My pro shop guy was kind of insulted because he said he had quite a few Global balls crack also. Something is wrong here, I purchase 40-50 balls a year and this is the only company that I have cracking problems with.  Dale sent me 1 new ball but I am still out of $600.00.  If anyone else has this problem please chime in.
