Title: Storm Spectre replacements
Post by: milorafferty on March 28, 2022, 05:18:27 PM: Received notification today that one of my two replacement balls has shipped already and will arrive Wednesday, Mar 30th.

Quick turn around by Storm.

Post by: DrummerBowler on March 31, 2022, 09:16:19 AM: I got my Spectre replacement on Monday, had it drilled and bowled with it on Monday night. I got the Wolverine. Now there are issues with that. Lucky me. :'(
Our center is not going to restrict the 6 recently USBC problem balls in league.
But, I don't like the idea of getting a 1/2 banned ball in exchange for a fully banned ball.
I don't need "cheater ball" comments at league or tournaments. Also, I don't want an asterisk next to a 300 either. Hopefully Storm will again exchange the Wolverines for anyone that got one via the Spectre exchange.

He chose the Wolverine because he already has one and likes it so much. And oh yeah, he has a Phaze 4. Yes, we all go to Nationals every year too....so yes, he wants to exchange them and will have 3 exchanges to now do.

Such a mess and so frustrating for everyone, including Storm, involved.

I received shipping notification on both of mine, not through email, but by text message. So if the phone number you gave them doesn't receive text message, that is probably the reason.

They did stop shipments/reverse shipments.

I had a wolverine picked out, and they never sent it.

Now instead I picked hyroad.....it'll be my 3rd over the years... Lol
