Pin coming out of ball !?!
« on: December 06, 2005, 12:22:11 PM »
I am the proud owner of an Apex Obsession. At first it was a little hard to get past it's purple coverstock, but it easily outperforms my Columbia Messenger and Ebonite Apex. The only thing that has me a little concerned about this ball is that the pin seems to have risen out of the ball a little like a blister, and is soft to the touch almost like a pencil eraser. I've thought about scraping it off, but it doesn't seem to be getting any worse, and I wouldn't want to do any undue damage to the ball. Has something like this ever happened to anyone else here? I thought pens were solid. I hear about them cracking, not rising like yeast-infected dough! Please help!

I noticed the same thing with my apex addiction.  No problem however.

I appreciate your feedback, and I'm relieved to know that nothing bad will come of it. Thanks for helping out an amateur.

I have teh Obsession too and teh pin comes out a bit. The sides are flush with the ball but has a little bit of a hill towards the middle. It's not soft by any means. I dont think it's anything major.

Moisture somehow got into you ball and pushed your pin up. It's a latex plug, so it will feel soft. A file works great!

Keep looking... I'm sure there's a 300 in one of those balls you keep buying!!
