I realize nothing lasts forever. But I'm a little disgusted with AMF balls. I have a Track Triton Heat, the original, that has been cracked around the finger holes for YEARS. A couple of my Ebonites are similar. My original AMF Whiplash cracked on my ball rack the entire way around, from thumb to finger hole. But I liked the ball, so I bought another. Same thing. Whole way around to the core. Just noticed my Terminal Velocity has done the same thing. Firehawk Super/C met the same fate. You can see the core thru the crack its so wide. The balls aren't even round anymore. I take care of all my stuff, and I'm in no hurry to look an anything AMF produces. Lot of money to shell out for a ball that will self-destruct for no good reason.
