Hello all, I am considering trying a black ops.  I had the original black eagle and loved it, heck even shot 800 with it.  However, the ball cracked with 12 games on it and they replaced it and the new one cracked as well.  Is their newer stuff and better as far as this goes ?

I'm with Doom on this one, I have or have had numerous 900 and AMF balls with no issues. I also do not use slugs or inserts so not sure if that's helps out the issue or not.

I have had about 15 Amf/GLobal and none of them have cracked. I had a Seismic crack putting a thumb slug in but thats more how my pro shop guys does thumb slugs. Kid is right all companies crack except maybe Visionary and Lane Masters seems like they have less cracking  from my experience only..

I stopped throwing their equipment last season due to the cracking issues I have had.  TJ was nice enough to replace a ball with one of the newest ones.  Even though the ball was made out of Utah, I never drilled it up and won't drill anything that has a 900 Global name on it (my choice, my right, don't judge unless you've spent over $1k in equipment and replacements and replacements cracking and losing money and you were ok with it).  My equipment was in a controlled environment.  Used, maintained, and also drilled by the same person who's been in the pro shop business over 25 years.  When I started throwing their equipment when they came out, I had cracking starting from day 1.  My ball driller has had cracking issues with only my stuff (I'm the only one who he drills for that used 900 Global) no other manufacturer's equipment has ever cracked on him.  Good luck if you decide to drill another 900 Global ball.  They could be better now, but I won't take that chance, even though it drives me crazy because I really do want to support them but when you lose a lot of money, I can't justify it. 

To add an older Global ball, my Break Pearl just cracked along with a Hammer Taboo.  All the way around.  I've had balls from most companies crack on me, but I thinks it's the hot environment that I live in. I don't have space in my house so they stay in the enclosed but vented garage.
