do i bowl with it or do i toss it
« on: February 24, 2007, 01:24:53 PM »
I have an epic battle that has a crack from the middle finger hole down to the thumb hole .I said i was going to keep using it until it split or i won enough monet to buy another one ,but the way the crack is spreading i am scared it will split open on the lane or in the ball return. Its almost like there is an internal force pushing the ball apart. Just when i was almost starting to figure it out. I have only had the ball since september but because i have had it drilled three times its no longer under warranty I was told . Any way its one less ball to worry about when or whether or not to use.

I'd keep using it if it's safe to use, meaning you wont hurt yourself or the lanes. We had a guy in traveling league years ago that had a red pulse, same think, crack from mid finger to thumb, then the crack continued all the way around the ball. He kept using it, until one day, It didn't come back. The lane man found it in 3 pieces laying in the pit.

So--the moral of the story is to be sure that you take another ball with you just in case
