Hyde Cracking
« on: July 13, 2006, 08:28:00 AM »
The ball is less than 2 months old.  I clean it after I use it.  I do not leave it in my car.  I have 3 other balls that I throw also, all are older, have many more games on them, and none of them have a single issue.   Pics are below.  What should I do?

Take it back to where you got it drilled and asked to have it fixed. They shouldn't charge you. This happens sometimes when a dull drill bit is used or using too much glue on inserts can aid in the ball developing cracks around the holes.

One other thing, if the fingers are drilled deep they might have hit the pin and that can cause problems but take it back to the pro shop you got it from and they should send it to Columbia and get a credit and you should be able to get a new ball

sometimes that does happen with an boowling ball but it doesnt mean that it is going to break out or blow up.

from the looks of your pictures, i don't see any problem.  you should be able to send this ball back to the columbia dist.  and i am sure they will issue a full credit for it.

Take it back to your pro shop and have your pro shop operator send it in to see if it's still under warrenty.  Hope this helps.

I have similar thing going on with an Action I bought. Except I have had for about 1 month and instead of cracking I have two small chips around the right and middle finger. Is this normal wear and tear, or should I take it in to have it fixed/look ed at? Thanks.
