I put 30 games on a brand new nemesis and a crack developed that completely circled my finger holes.  I took the ball back to the shop that sold and drilled it for me and they replaced it with a brand new ball.  

However, looks like there might be a trend with these BVP balls cracking as I have heard about another one doing the same.

Regardless, you should be getting a replacement ball, not a plugged ball.

Actually, the shop that sold it to you should follow the warranty procedure through their distributor. If the ball cracked or fell apart inside due to a manufacturing flaw, Brunswick will stand behind it. Most shops, including my own, will replace it on the spot and then have the distributor credit them so that the customer is taken care of in a timely fashion.
  Obviously we regret the inconvenience this creates, but as with any ball manufacturer, there will always be defects that get out into the publics hands. All we can do is insure that we will stand behind our product and see if we can detect and resolve the source of the problem to eliminate future flaws.
