Well, she was good well she lasted.... Under 50 games, have a 800 with it.  But now she is dead.  Found out that the cover might have been oil soaked.  So gave it a hot water bath.... took the surface down to 1000....  Had a buddy with the same problem, and this is what they told him to do.  Worked on his, didn't work on mine.  Last Global poured ball I buy.

I've never had nearly as much success with a hot water bath as i have with a revivor. I would recommend taking the surface all the way down and bring it back up and putting it in a revivor. That cover is so thin im not surprised it would need an oil extraction....

Yeah the only other ball I remember being that thin was the Profit...That one was super thin too. I still think the Cobra is probably the thinnest I've ever seen...

My Creature solid, way back when 900G first started, has a 3/8" "thick" coverstock!! Hasn't cracked yet; still reacts, mostly, but I do change and refresh surfaces regularly.

The cobra has to be more like 1/4"...

Do you, or anybody else out there, have a suggestion where I can take mine for similar surface refreshing in the Triad area of NC?

I've had multiple balls between 900 Global and AMF crack while sitting in a controlled environment as well as rotating them to make sure this doesn't happen.  Even though I have been told by someone there that shell thickness does not matter.  As much as I want to believe it and tried to believe it, I'm not buying that anymore. I've never had another companies equipment do that other than Track when they were out of the same plant.

Wow,  My only problem with AMF stuff has been in the cracking.  (I have heard on here it is the San Antonio plant).  My stuff is left in a non temperature controlled environment.

As to reaction.  All my AMF stuff is still very powerful!  Years after buying.
