I looked at your profile, it says you live in Kentucky, 900 Global balls do not fair well in Kentucky. Especially near a certain mfg. area.
Just kidding
Post some pictures so we can see the problems.

I had two of my Breaks solid crack from finger to pin to thumb!  They were sitting in the house on my ball rack!  Glad I bought some extra ones and never drilled them!!!!!

I have a Break Solid, Break Pearl, S-75, BAM, Villain, and a Clutch (not Drilled yet), and the only one that has some of cracking is my S-75.  There is a very fine hairline crack around the ring finger hole, but nothing else.  
I've had it since it was released and I didn't see the crack until months later.  I had a Black Widow Pearl that cracked within a month around both finger holes.  But other than that, no more signs of cracking on my 900G/AMF balls.

I have 12, and the only one that has any cracking is my Kinetic Solaris, which is pored by 900. The bottom of the pin is litterally like a millimeter away from the ring finger hole, basically sitting right ontop of the ring finger. It is a small crack and don't even know how long it has been there.

Nothing for me to worry about yet, hope it doesn't get worse, it is my favorite ball I have owned.

Nobody else commented on it but I thought that was a funny statement.
If I ever get to buy a new ball I will try to make it a 900Global just because you seem like a real down to earth guy for being the bigshot that you are.

Tonight I unfortunately joined the list of people that had a Global ball crack on them. My Break Pearl split from the ring finger over to the X-hole which is located on my PAP. Oh well, sometimes things like this happen.

Is it around the fingers and do you use finger inserts?

Too much glue used to put in finger inserts will cause cracks to coverstocks due to the quick drying of the glue that takes moisture out of the ball...making the coverstock brittle...
