Anyone elses do this?
« on: October 09, 2005, 02:05:23 PM »

My WMB is the only ball that does this in my bag.  When it gets remotely cold out, it gets very weird coloring right on the track, but wherever I track at when I throw it, it disappears to the regular coloring.

Does anyone else's WMB do this?

Haha, yeah, it goes over the weighthole.  My TS&A gets a little past the weighthole.  The Ultimate Inferno goes all the way back to the fingers.

Mine did the same, but it actually stayed and it was due to the heat.  I have a bad habit of leaving my stuff in the trunk and over the summer with all these 100+ degree days, my WMB turned out looking more like an EPX.

It doesn't back off the hit or anything, so I don't see any reason to change the drilling or anything, risking ruining the reaction.

Unfortunately, I found this out with a sweat towel (same ball)

I've had balls in a flooded basement do this.  It goes away after you use them again.

Yep, see this all the time with all my balls when I leave them in the trunk (which I have to because I go straight from school to bowling).

I have seen this with the old Quantums and come to think of it, a lot of Brunswick cover stocks. never heard of anything bad comming from it. usually the same story, left in trunk in the winter.

if i throw my purple buzzsaw(rhino coverstock) it will get the phasing track lines...no matter if i bring it in the house or not.  Though the room my balls are is pretty cool most of the time anyways.

Yes it is just phasing HOWEVER, I would not recommend leaving your balls out in your car in winter time.....the ball wants to shrink and will most likely crack once exposed to higher temps in the bowling alley again....
