Two for one special
« on: May 10, 2014, 09:36:54 AM »
That's right. Just had two rotos crack for no reason. None of the other 7 balls with them cracked. The shooting star was already cracked around the bridge, but the crack continued for roughly another 8 inches, and my critical theory cracked THROUGH THE LABEL. Nowhere else is it cracked. The balls were left in the garage, but were out of sunlight and were never exposed to extreme temps or temp changes. Kind of makes me debate buying another storm or roto, as those are the only two brands I have ever seen split.

My suggestion is never leave them in that environment. My brother has done the same and has had several crack.
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

I resurfaced and had grips changed on a Storm Virtual Gravity about a month ago, and was only thrown about half a game after that.  Saw it yesterday and there is a crack all the way around the ball, thumb to fingers.  Kept in the garage with all my other stuff, but not much of a choice, just got to deal with it.  When it happens, it happens.  Just another excuse to show my wife the cracked ball and tell her that I need to but a new one.  :)
